Census Results

[ToshinouKyouko]

I ran the Census add-on for both factions and these are the results:

Alliance

Horde

As you can see, the Alliance has a pretty sizable lead.

[Sayir-x]

Huh, not as many rogues this time around.

I wonder if that'll change.

[Justiino]

Wow, priest are like 3rd on that list? I wonder how long that will last.

[Overtime]

Now do it without level 1's (class balance).

[GlassGhost]

Now do it without level 1's (class balance).

[ToshinouKyouko]

Now do it without level 1's (class balance).

As you wish.

Alliance

Horde

Interesting to see Shamans so high up there

Definitely going to be curious how it plays out at 60. The only things that surprise me a bit are the low number of rogues compared to what was back in the day(when rogues and hunters were scattered everywhere.) Druids seem lower than I remember too(though it's been...ages, to say the least, since I've seen a Vanilla census.)

Rogues in PvE have much less appeal than on PvP for obvious reasons. The polls on PvE realm are coming from a different context than on PvP. Only end-game lvl 60 polls could appear more-less even IMO. On PvE realms only a fraction of the player base is interested in ANY form of PvP (BG, arenas etc). Most classes/builds are tailored for levelling needs.
Take AOE frost mages for example. AOE frost is a boring but fast leveling build, which is very dangerous on PvP, since it always leaves you low on mana and HP, almost like a big sign 'I am ready, gank me!".

Bow down to the warsongs!
