Posted by Chips on

 
Over the past several weeks, the users and viewers of the /r/ClassicWow subreddit have been filling out a World of Warcraft Classic Census, aimed at getting pre-launch statistics about the games servers, factions, races, classes, professions, and player interests.
 
YouTuber SoupaSoka put out a 20 minute video looking at the data step by step. Check out his video and our TL:DW observations below!

  • PvP Servers are the most popular.
  • Tanks – ~15% of player-base.
  • Healer – ~30% of player-base.

  • The split between Horde and Alliance is almost 50/50!

Races

  • Human > Night Elf > Dwarf > Gnome (In order of descending popularity).
