I have yet to find out how they gather their statistics, but the interface is at least useful.
What’s some interesting data you all find out of this? Personally, I think the races breakdown is fascinating. There’s likely a correlation with how transmogs look on certain character models…
Most popular human class: paladin
The correct way to be a paladin yes indeed
Haha wow Korea is not about the Alliance
The Alliance vs Horde statistics prove exactly why we need cross faction gameplay.
Blizzard, please delete Blood Elves:
Please cater to them MORE* and don’t forget us Alliance blood elves! 
Yes, the number of Blood Elves is… extensive.
Though, to be kinda fair, Night Elves and Blood Elves naturally get a boost because they’re the only races that can be Demon Hunters, which make up nearly 8% of the WoW population.
At least I feel a little vindicated when I kept saying Rogues are probably the least played class in the game:
Well, that’s a shame, that class is a lot of fun to play!
I thought it would be monk. Makes sense to me why they don’t treat the monk class very well
The design of the Rogue class needs a lot of love, particularly because so many of its “unique” features are dependent on systems that exist outside of the class itself (things to open via Pick Lock, things to obtain via Pickpocket, traps to disarm… etc). There’s a lot of work that goes into really making the Rogue class shine.
From a purely DPS perspective, playing another class just makes so much sense.
Assuming the sites numbers are accurate, it is still crazy the number of them.
Say for instance set it to US realms and select thrall, which is dominantly Horde (98% horde to 2% alliance), and 30% of that 98% is blood elves. Even assuming nearly the entire 8% demon hunters (rounded up) was horde, that is still 22% of the horde population are blood elves that are not demon hunters.
The data on that site is stale and hasn’t been updated since July/August 2021.
That’s around the time when Blizz changed the Auction House. All the statistic websites were using the AH api to get seller’s names and use that as a jumping off point to get the rest of the data they tracked. Now because nearly every auction is consolidated and grouped, seller names are not part of the API output.
Wowanalytica is dead, just like the rest of those sites.
Damn, 64% horde? Wow used to be very balanced in terms of casual population few exp ago. @The poster right above me: last updated 2021 is still good when you compare it to 2018 or so on wow progress.
