Hey guys!
I'm new here and since I wanted to know the distribution of classes for both factions and couldn't find any exact data I quickly made my own census which Im sharing with you here :)
Note:(I used the who command for each class between level 51-60, no class was above 50 for any faction so it should be accurate,also I think it measures the more active players if you only take those near or at maxlevel. It took me about 10 minutes between 20:15-20:25 I started with Horde, there may be minor fluctuations due to that)
Horde:
Warlock:10
Priest:15
Mage:16
Rogue:18
Druid:21
Hunter:24
Paladin:27
Warrior:30
Shaman:31
All:192
Alliance:
Shaman:8
Mage:10
Warlock:11
Druid:11
Rogue:14
Priest:15
Hunter:24
Warrior:30
Paladin:40
All:163
Tl;DR Alliance needs shamans

Quick Census I did manually

Unfortunately, the staff are the only ones who can do a proper census by extracting data from the database (if it works as I think it does).
CensusPlus or any kind of counting script won't work as they rely on SendWho(), a command with a pretty big cooldown on Warmane.

That looks about what most people have guessed. Ty for sharing ;)

Warriors and Paladins alone make up damn near 50% of alliance. Yep, seems about right.

Hmm, Census actually seems to work just fine:

Thank you for that Edifice, now people can finally shut up about how many Paladins they keep seeing :D

How is that a concensus of Lorderon.. hes posting numbers of 16,000 people and more.. lorderons only has 6000 players on it doesnt it?

Member
He counts all characters that has been made?

Characters active in the past week I'd guess.
It's also a census, not consesus. Two different words with very different meanings.
Tweaked the code for census+ to make sure it works with Warmane's limitations on spam control and came up with this results yesterday after 3-4 scans (each lasted about one or two hours)
14% Warriors
13% Hunters
11% Shamans
10% Paladins
10% Mages
10% Priests
10% Rogues
8% Warlocks
8% Druids
So, at least horde-side, the top 3 most played races are Warriors, Hunters and Shamans... Strange, really. Would expect Shamans to be a lot below say Paladins and Mages...

56% humans. That's just depressing.

More like shows how people wanna minmax by rolling humans :) Spirit + PVP trinket and Rep racial :)

I think a lot of them are just Namesave toons.
Like I play 2 toons and the rest are just Namesaves and they are all human

Quit trying to sugarcoat it. BTW. Shamans can be 3, different races while paladins can only be one. That may have something to do with it. How accurate are your results anyways.
