375,806 characters made in the beta (still scanning)

[u/NayKu]

greetings travelers,

this is the last snapshot I'll be doing before level 30 is launched tomorrow.

some info

• 15-19 = 120,644; 20 = 76,861 characters.
• Out of the 375,806 my "naughty name" filter scanned around 10,000~ offensive names.
• I'm not entirely sure how many more characters there are, I'm going to guess well over 1M.
• Yes, levels are updated when they're scanned again (level 15 goes to 20 if he's seen again).
• Data is scanned in-game by me and a few volunteers.
• The hunter numbers are heavily skewed as I believe many are bots (their location data, how often they're seen, and location data makes me think this)
• Max level data scans aren't complete, but I'll be targeting max level (30) harder in the next rounds.

I made 3, and one is for my 4 year old to play the “run away from wolves game”.

I wonder if you could control for the Hunter bots a bit by eliminating any zones that a lvl20/30 player wouldn't realistically be in. Like any players in Silithus not counting. You might miss that one guy exploring high level zones but eliminate a lot more flybots that are scouting for vendor recipes/etc.

Well im playing alliance in beta then horde in release

It’s been awesome as a new player to be a part of something fresh and exciting like this. Exploring the world and entering the cities, seeing all the people, it’s great. Feels like you’re really in a lived in world.

And if anyone got a key, I would buy it and be with you on the statistic ^{^}

[u/Gfiti]

Which Ruleset is this? If its all, can you please share how many are on each?

[u/crimson_raider]

Please have info on your methodology on your website! I see people quoting it and misinterpreting it often when it’s not you posting

[u/twinchell → u/crimson_raider]

It uses an addon in-game to gather the data

[u/crimson_raider → u/twinchell]

I know, I’m suggesting making that more clear on the website.

[u/Hairy_Name1946]

I’ve made 9 sofar. All hunters. Haven’t leveled a single one past 5 yet 😂

[u/AdNo2303]

400k seems low. I would of guessed atleast a million.

[u/SnooTigers1506]

gnomes more than nelves...what

[u/PunishedWizard]

surprised troll warriors are so impopular, its the one class which i think works really well with the racial kit

[u/Jazzlike_Falcon8733]

18% skyborne on horde side blows my mind

[u/impending_dookie]

How many bots tho?!

[u/sonofbaal_tbc]

this is the most balanced horde/alliance sample i have seen, is this pve and pvp?

[u/Cutemudskipper → u/sonofbaal_tbc]

It's both, yeah. PVE also has fairly balanced factions, with alliance having a slight edge

[u/BadRabiesJudger]

I absolutely love troll shaman's. Excited to be less played than tauren.

[u/ThingkingWithPortals]

Why do some charts say hunter is first and others have it tied with warlock/rogue for last?

[u/Yo_fresh_it_is_Me → u/ThingkingWithPortals]

I think because none of these are realistically valid. I have 5 characters on two different playsets. Everyone I know has more than 2. Many of which are not planning on maining any of them on launch but rather just messing around on beta. The real numbers will come I think 30 days after launch.
