Recently the user Izzabelle posted a data-driven spreadsheet on the current state of player character customizations. This prompted me to make a visual pie chart to help better represent the spread of current customization players have for each race. As a long-time Forsaken player, I have long felt the strain of having among the least amount of character customization options.
That said, one thing I find particularly sad about this data is that the Forsaken, around since 2004, are very obviously neglected for customization options. There are numerous newer allied races with more customizations than one of the founding races of the game.
Before this becomes a matter of Horde versus Alliance: all player races deserve more customization options regardless of faction. However, it would be nice for those races who have the least amount of customization to be given some extra attention.
This chart features just the original races that have existed since the 2004 launch. It does not include any potential allied / side-races.
