JP player rank distribution, all accounts that have logged in in the past month I think
Holy single-tailed distribution, Batman!
Given how common Experience of a Lifetime is and other experience bonuses, the churn on this game is unreal. No wonder I can't find any new leader friends at my rank that aren't running RaDra/YomiDra most of the time.
Assuming a basis of 1mm active accounts in JP,
Rank 001 - 100 --> 440,000 (44%)
Rank 101 - 200 --> 340,000 (78%)
Rank 201 - 300 --> 170,000 (95%)
Rank 301 - 400 --> 30,000 (98%)
Rank 401 - 500 --> 10,000 (99%)
Rank 501 - 600 --> 2,000 (99+%)
Rank 601 - 700 --> 300 (99+%)
Rank 701 - 800 --> 40 (99+%)
Rank 801 - 900 --> 8 (99+%)
Rank 901 - 999 --> 3 (99+%)
The account that actually reached Rank 1000 quit/retired?
If NA only has half that number, that is even more scary. Guess that Rank 350 Memorial REM will probably never happen. On the other hand, given how that a very considerable amount of content is balanced towards the very high rank players (L+ and M+, rogues), it is amazing how many resources are spent on the top 1% of ranked players.
