Majority Race
Swifigames
✭✭✭
This is a shot in the dark...but here it goes. Do we know what race is in the majority?
By (active) players, what race is the most popular, which is the least popular, and every race in-between...is there any chance that this data is obtainable and can we put percentages on each individual race much like a poll would be done here on the forums. But not just a poll, a definitive, no BS hard statistics chart that shows a top to bottom active usage percentage for each of the playable races in ESO.
I gather this information may only be known by the ESO team and it's data collection methods...I just wonder the most popular race, least, and in-between. But I'd prefer a total user count in the assessment and not just some random poll where not every user would be included.
If it's been done, can be done, I'd like to know.
Many, many thanks.

✭✭✭I think its fairly spread out, min maxers are not the majority, but I do think the min maxers do tip the scales in favor of high elves, they do make excellent magicka DPS, which is what I would think most people that DPS play. Khajiit also has a huge follow and so does Nords cause, you know Skyrim, but lots of people also love Dunmer. Again I think its fairly spread but you never know unless you have the data.3 -

✭Well I know Orcs have got to be the least popular, female especially. Hardly see any of them.
As for most popular, seems like Bosmer for female and Altmer for male. Redguards seem to be the only race you can have a dark skinned or black character in, so naturally they'd be pretty high up there. The cats also have a strong presence. ~Pibb0 -

I would think that Bretons and Imperials are at the top and beast races at the bottom.
Reason being that I'm assuming that most players are human.
That is my assumption. I cannot prove it.

✭✭✭✭✭I'm sure ZOS are capable of getting this kind of data. I'm also pretty sure they're not going to share it because if they were they'd have done it already - for example on the game's anniversary or at the various times they've announced the number of players.
I think the nearest you'll ever be able to get is a forum poll. But that may not be accurate because there's certain types of people who are more likely to post on a forum and they may not be representative of the whole playerbase. For example I bet there's a higher percentage of min-maxers amongst the forum population than the game as a whole because an important part of that playstyle is knowing what other people are doing.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭✭✭✭✭I would guess Dunmer. Most people's first TES game was Morrowind. "Dark/evil" races are also usually the most popular in games.0 -
Argah✭✭✭✭You would think Khajit since there is no dog race and most people like cats or dogs, if we had Dhojit it would be a toss up.3
