D&D General D&D Beyond's Users Online Over Last Year

My interpretation is that the data ('as-is') is insufficient to say anything about the popularity of the 2024 core books, as the original post implied.

I implied nothing. What you inferred is down to you.

The denial here of a decline is amusing, and this is WITH a 'major release' of the new core.

We start (July 2024) above 2K, we arrive (July 2025) below 2K, seems pretty clear.

Does only using the app count too?

That I'm not sure. I don't have the app. If anybody wants to perform that experiment and let us know, that would be interesting.

It's currently at 3,301 when I check.

Which is substantially higher than any other non-product period on the chart.

I guess start tracking for us and offer up a different data set over an 12 month period.

It's averaged. At 3am there were very few people. Now is peak time of the day. It's average number of people online over an entire week, not peak number of people online.

Perhaps what time of day the data is logged matters?

(What was that black-clad figure that just swept past. A ninja no doubt.)

So I get counted no matter if :

• I am only using the forum, but do not have a paid account.
• I am only getting the UA, but do not have a paid account.
• I am only getting the 'claimed but free' stuff (like LMoP), but do not have a paid account.
• I have a paid account and am using paid content ('only' D&D 2014).
• I have a paid account and am using paid content (D&D 2024).

sounds like it, but how often do you get to claim free stuff etc.... All things being equal, less engagement is less engagement. It's not a spike in subscribers that is hidden by a drop off from people staring at their free LMoP for the last 18 months and are finally tired of looking at it non-stop

Now what does that mean (or imply) of the popularity of the 2024 core rulebooks ?

too early to tell, but it is not off to a great start when the number of users online drops below where 2014 was after 10 years.

Let's see what happens when they release some new adventures and APs
