Ok so I’m confused on the population level of each race.
Who makes up the bulk of each faction and what are the ratio’s of each member. What do they bring to the table for their faction?
The dominant race is whatever the writers decided it would be at the time.

Theyre infinite
Try not to think about it
It would be nice to get a Dev response on this and clear some things up.

Due to the constant civilization spanning warfare over the last 30 years and near genocide of most of the races…the total population should be quite small.
Might be cool to advance the storyline by “wilding” the world a bit due to the attrition of the horde and alliance.

There’s a world quest (and a normal quest before it) to destroy a lot of Bilgewater Goblins in southwestern Zuldazar. You pretty much wipe out the entire population several times over by repeating that quest.
Void Elves are technically a super small cadre of Elves. Elves who were already in relatively small numbers, and split off of Blood Elves. Any time you kill a Void Elf, that’s like 1% of their population, heh.
Even the Orcs all traveled to Kalimdor on a mere handful of ships. Yet they seem to be as numerous as a heavily entrenched race that had been living there for centuries.
Population in WoW is just something you can’t really take seriously.
vulpera so small v teny
There’s enough to throw wave after wave of bodies until the preset kill counts of the enemies force them to shut down.
Lore-depending, of course.
I mean, there’s worldofwargraphs.com (the “global ranks” section), but it says it hasn’t been updated since December of 2019. And I have doubts that it was super accurate even then. But anecdotally, it doesn’t seem overtly wrong.
Although Vulpera aren’t even on there. When did they become available to play?
The 25 Vulpera and mechagnome made me laugh. What a force to field.
Im pretty sure the blood elves have a decent amount more than the void elves due to the void elves being a very recent race

Gnomes were always small in numbers but great in stature.
