Race Rankings

[Grugg]

<p>There were some folks discussing race popularity in another thread. I thought I'd go through EQ2Players for the data. Here are the rankings by number of characters. This data is current as of the post date/time.</p><ol><li>Dark Elf -- 462,145 </li><li>Human -- 396,158 </li><li>Wood Elf -- 352,918 </li><li>High Elf -- 343,537 </li><li>Fae -- 303,336 </li><li>Half Elf -- 302,166 </li><li>Kerra -- 290,929 </li><li>Barbarian -- 270,788 </li><li>Ratonga -- 217,271 </li><li>Erudite -- 212,710 </li><li>Gnome -- 210,433 </li><li>Arasai -- 200,375 </li><li>Iksar -- 185,107 </li><li>Froglok -- 163,834 </li><li>Dwarf -- 135,771 </li><li>Ogre -- 124,982 </li><li>Sarnak -- 102,134 </li><li>Troll -- 84,671 </li><li>Halfling -- 77,862</li></ol><p>Unfortunately, there's no way to get data for frequency and duration of use (i.e., how often and for how long characters of each race are played) via EQ2Players.</p>

<p>Using the 50+ characters only would be more accurate.</p>
