Herald class statistics - Phoenix Freeshard

Hi,
are there statistics on class distribution available anywhere, e.g. which classes are played most/least on each realm. I ask this, because i really like to play on the underdog realm and underdog class :-)

If these statistics are not available - any hints on least played realm/class combination?
Thanks, Zuluhead

You can check in game by typing /server info

Player per realm
EU mornings usually hib dominated
EU evenings usually mid dominated

Classes
Least played classes generally are melee characters in alb and hib except reaver (the TWF effect)

Hi again,
after writing my original question, i decided to do some digging and wrote a script to automatically retrieve the information available at the herald and doing some analysis on it. This is the result (only characters who are in a guild were considered):

Albion:

Class		#Chars
Armswoman	36
Armsman		91
Sorcerer	110
Sorceress	114
Paladin		129
Mercenary	130
Reaver		169
Friar		203
Scout		204
Infiltrator	241
Wizard		280
Cabalist	291
Theurgist	300
Minstrel	310
Necromancer	341
Cleric		414
Total		3363

Hibernia:

Class		#Chars
Heroine		35
Champion	79
Valewalker	88
Hero		90
Enchanter	120
Blademaster	125
Enchantress	130
Warden		133
Nightshade	164
Ranger		168
Eldritch	192
Mentalist	228
Bard		241
Druid		295
Animist		419
Total		2507

Midgard:

Class		#Chars
Berserker	158
Hunter		174
Savage		195
Warrior		204
Thane		225
Shadowblade	240
Runemaster	264
Spiritmaster	287
Bonedancer	331
Healer		389
Skald		412
Shaman		445
Total		3324

So, if my data are correct, i think i will roll a Hib Enchanter, as i prefer something magical :-)

I dunno, you have enchanter and enchantress separated into two different spots when it is really the same class but different sexes.
Same goes for sorc, arms and hero.

Your data is wrong. Enchanter + Enchantress makes a figure of 258 together.
So, your list for Hib looks like this:

Champion 79
Valewalker 88
Hero 125
Blademaster 125
Warden 133
Nightshade 164
Ranger 168
Eldritch 192
Mentalist 228
Bard 241
Enchanter 258
Druid 295
Animist 419
Total 2507

So Enchanter is most common caster class after Animist in Hibernia.

If you want play most seldom class, it is definitely not a enchanter.
And if you want support an underpopulated realm, I would choose Albion. They showing higher figures then Hibs do, but Albs are traditionally less present in RvR.

That depends entirely on timezone; US primetime, as a Mid, we see maybe 10 Hibs in three hours, while Albs are everywhere.

I argued for us going to Hib, but alas, we went Alb...

I mean, his data isn't wrong, you just gotta add the two.

Cleric is the most played class in Albion?

Mon 22 Jul 2019 5:00 PM by Sixin2082

That is an amusing thing to have to account for.

Though, I am curious to see a breakdown of gender by class now. If only to see if the Warrior also has the same 1:3 ratio that arms and heros have.

Then they should be nerfed!
