Censual Census

Frederich

I'd love to see a 'census' every few Achaean years?  See how the race-list is shaping up, the majority of races, split down to male/female.. etc.

So like you'd get to see a census of the overall world for all non-newbie adventurers.  You'd get a male/female split.  The races, how they split down even further... And then we could do with cities as an additional split for cities (or even houses if you want to go that far).

It'd be interesting to show the least represented races in Achaea (Satyr), and show how all of the races and genders are split up out of however many currently-active non-newbie players.

Yes?  Yes.

Thoughts below.

Almost more dragons than satyr

I actually really like that Humans are the most populous race in Achaea. Humans are almost always described as being the most common race in any fantasy setting, but invariably players gravitate toward the more exotic options. Can't count how many D&D groups have been exclusively non-human, and Achaea was pretty similar in the days before traits and stat packs. Cool that the canon flavour for humans is actually supported by the demographics.

Nazihk

Humans have some of the best racials, it's not surprising they're the most populous race. When I reincarnate there's a very good chance it will be to human.

Szanthax

Did we miss the new class in dere?

Melodie

That female to male ratio though. That probably surprises me the most, I thought we had a much more balanced/higher ratio of women.

Achaea = China

Szanthax

Maybe the women that want to play as men outnumber the men who want to play as women

Depends on which D&D group. Depending on the edition, some character builds benefit more from extra feat choices.

Atalkez

I'm glad BM moved up on the list!

In all honestly, given how many men that I KNOW play women, it's probably even less balanced than it looks. 

Kenway

Pretty shocked alchemist is bottom of the barrel there

Tecton

Those numbers are all existing players (including dormant people), so the fact that the class is new(ish) will mean it's lower.

Sarflus

I wonder what's the most common race for priests.

Atavian!

Xaden

Given that an eighth of all classes are knight I'm kinda amazed that troll is so low down on the list.

Shirszae

I sort of wonder how different the list would look if only taking into account non-dormant players. Though I am unsure if that is possible

I've always thought achaea was like 50% siren chicks..... but sampling bias right?

Nazihk

Hashan appears to be like 90% Siren, I am finding.

Can we get like Achaea plenty of fish/grindr?

Maybe Plenty of Septaceans and Crossing Swords for Fun?

Isn't there that one dating clan that kind of does that?

Szanthax

God I hope not.. after nyc I've been kind of freaked by how much people know about each other...

Given that player activity is tracked in a good number of ways, I'm sure its possible.

Anedhel

I wonder what the active percentage of Paladins is, there must be lots of dormant ones :O 

Tecton

Aerek

I liked the total breakdown better. It looked like there were fewer Alchemists that way.

Austere

I miss the full charts that showed which class had which race mixes. I always rather enjoyed finding out I was an oddball(sadly I'm not now) 

Xaden

Well, that's 16.2% of people who can fuck off.
