Well, it is just 32 hours into a 334 hour Realm event and apparently there are already people wondering if we're not making good progress. So, for those wondering, and those who just want to point at something for those who keep bugging them about it, here we are:

This is our current progress in 2025 compared to 2024. We are substantially ahead of the pace compared to 2024, and in 2024 we ended up scoring about 5.1 billion points. The Kingpin/AbsMan selector sits at 4.192 billion points (marked with the pink line), and the maximum stretch milestone (visible in-game) is 4.51 billion (marked by the darker purple line). So I think we're fine.
Also note that last year we had a substantial bump in pace 72 hours (three days) in due to the arrival of the sales that started on December 23, same as this year. I would expect similar behavior this year. But even without that bump, we're clearly on pace to reach 4.2 billion easily, and 4.5 billion well before the New Year.
Remember everyone: spend responsibly. But if you're wondering if you should invest in getting the 25920 points necessary to max out the realm milestone qualifiers (and you want the rewards) and you can afford to do so, its pretty safe to do so.
