The 7th Vana'diel Census (06/27/2007)

It is also interesting to witness the decline in players using Jeuno as their Home Point. This can most likely be attributed to the change in play style ever so prevalent since the implementation of Assault and Besieged.

Of course.

That one amused me as well. It couldn't possibly be that there is no convenient and fast transportation system from Jeuno where you can reach every major area in seconds like outpost warping and runic portals in Jeuno?

There are more jobs at lv 21-37, so that's probably why.

This year’s census has seen the previously popular sheepskin drop in rank, while black tiger hides have shot up nine places to third position--a direct result of synthesis recipes introduced in recent version updates.

Of course, why didn't I realize it was a direct result of everyone rushing to make these (the only recent item added that uses tiger leather).

The data collection for this was done in May, so they're talking about the March (and maybe earlier?) updates here. Not that I know what was added then that uses tiger hides, or whether they're in high demand or not.

"Despite its relatively late introduction into the game, by far and away the most popular relic is the Aegis, with a record of 144 shields created. This popularity can be attributed to the low cost of crafting the Aegis compared to other relic-level items, and the unique properties of the shield. Mandau, Excalibur, Kikoku, and Gjallarhorn are the most prevalent among the relic weapons, ranging from 90 to 94 items created. This rivalry can be attributed to the popularity of the jobs capable of equipping these weapons. This year’s totals of 353 for fourth stage items and 778 for relic items have far exceeded the previous year’s totals of 176 and 218. "


What........

Ok, so people upgrade sheild because its a couple 100 peices cheaper then other relics? Guess I missed the memo on how much damn money im saving by upgrading shield.

Funny how people get selective reading when they have no respect for someone.

I was going to say something to the effect of:
"This has proved how people take certain parts of what someone has said to make it look like that someone is stupid/whatever.", but I was too afraid + it could be Sundi who wrote that. Gere has renewed my faith in humanity.

I can only really point out how popular the meleeburn trend has gotten through these charts. RDM/WHM becoming more popular, Shihei being the top 10 on the AH, ect ect.

[Priran]

[Alisha]

It was kind of a kick in the balls to hear them mention WoG and not back it up with anything...
Better get some new stuff on that soon.

E3 is coming up in early july so maybe we will see something then

[Max™]

By unique properties he meant it has a face on it.

[Tonko]

Oh shit it's a FACE ON A SHIELD!

[LD]

Didn't they cancel E3?

[Khamsin]

Didn't they cancel E3?

Nope, E3 is still going strong... just with 1/10th of the attendees since they made it invitation-only.

[Valient]
