Back in the Race

Last year I made a post pondering on which was the most popular race/class in WoW and eventually finding an answer.
So has there been any changes to this result, given time,a new expansion, a new class, the Pandariens and a slow decline of WoW subscribers? Well, once again, one need only ask:




Comparing this to the previous post reveals little in the way of surprise. None of the races have changed from their previous rank. But what is surprising is the Pandas themselves; There's an even split between the Horde and the Alliance and they're ahead of the Gnomes, Dwarves and Goblins.
The classes don't seem to have changed much but it is interesting to see certain classes being more popular with one faction than the other. It is surprising to see there are more Alliance Hunters and Warriors but hardly surprising to see more Horde Shamen and Warlocks.

Still considering the changes that Blizzard are constantly making to their game, along with the afore-mentioned decline in subscribers, it would be interesting to see what happens in the years ahead...

  1. not surprised at how Hunters, Paladins and Druids are the most popular, since they are the most effective for soloing... also its interesting how Horde most popular is Blood Elves, which isn't surprising since Elves are awesome, but the Alliance top is boring Humans, which proves players on that faction are less inclined to be creative...

  2. Maybe the popularity of the humans is due to the sense of familiarity to the players?
