Racial distribution, July 2021 (Luckybancho)

[Ramesses]

All the charts are based on info from last luckybancho report: Luckybancho survey, July 2021

First of all I would note that for some reason in "Global", "JP", "NA" and "EU" pages of the report all data is outdated and corresponds to April's one. As result of it, what I did was going trough all servers reports manually and combining data from them into regional and then global results.

Also, while this info isn't related to racial distribution, I think it's worth mentioning that in July the size of active playerbase reached 1.207.441 (against 951.467 in April).

Luckybancho considers a player to be active if:
- Their level is higher than 60 (lvl 60 isn't included)
- They have changes in HP/amount of minions and mounts in comparison to previous survey
- Characters without mounts are counted as bots and are excluded

※Keep in mind that provided data is likely not 100% accurate due to how Lodestone works and also due to the fact that we have no way to say how exactly Lucky Bancho aquires and fixes this data. Consider it to be an estimate that helps to understand the trends, with some errors to it.

Until I see direct official numbers and stats from SE, I won't believe a darn thing Luckybancho posts-- he/she has posted wholly skewed, miscalculated and uninformed numbers way too many times in the past.

Catgirl supremacy!

I knew Elezens weren't popular, but I didn't think they were this unpopular D:

If they were more traditional elves they'd be among the most popular I think.
The necks are just too hard for people to get past :P.

I honestly don't notice it unless my character is naked basically or has short hair and wears something that is basically bare around the neck and shoulders area.
Personally I find the broad shoulders more distracting and annoying in certain gear altho again it's not always noticeable either.

I do think that my options are a bit more limited if I want to avoid the wonky aspects of Elezen being too noticeable, but it also isn't much of a problem because the gear I like tends to not draw attention to it.
Elezen are the prettiest imo if you can hide that, but if you don't then it can stand out too much.

I hope, he will update the stats very soon. I guess there are already more buns than Elezen as a whole.

Curious how the Viera numbers would look if they didn't have such a massive deficit in hair and hat options lmao

[Jotaku]

i think, after they realease female hrothgar, is time to update character creation and make the actual races more appealing, like Elezens proportions, and better animations, if they improve that, with a overall graphic update, the game can prolonge to 5 o 7 years more

Only a select few can be a Muscle Mommy.

Interestingly enough, and I know this is likely a marginal difference in the bigger picture, I've been seeing a LOT more femroes lately. Don't know why, but it actually makes me kinda happy lol

There's alot of Male Viera on JP server so I wonder if it beats Roegadyn or Elezen...

Yeah, I feel like miqo'te would still be number one in terms of female races, but if this game had some proper looking elves, that'd have been amazing! Said this many times on the forums before, but that is what my go to race would be. Even something simple like a Hilda type half elezen/hyur race would have been great! It could have had some nice custom faces to differentiate them from midlanders, and the racial hair potential as well... Ah, c’est la vie.
