Class counts by /who!
 

Because I was curious and figured everyone else would be too! Just got on and did some /who all count's for all the classes and got these results. Note it picked up 2078 results when the website was reporting a little under 2400 on (I didnt check at exact same time so lets round) -- I assume the missed #'s are anon people and the like, so this is not 100% accurate even as a snapshot but probably a fair representation of 7:20pm est on night one!

Druid 293 - 14.1%
Enchanter 263 - 12.7%
Shaman 216 - 10.4 %
Cleric 214 - 10.3%
Necro 198 - 9.5%
Mage 191 - 9.2%
Monk 114 - 5.5%
Bard 105 - 5.1%
Warrior 104 - 5%
SK 89 - 4.3%
Rogue 88 - 4.2%
Wiz 82 - 3.9%
Paladin 68 - 3.3%
Ranger 53 - 2.6%

Are you going enchanter again? Seems like no cycle target would be tough on a controller for enc

Count finds anon and roleplay people I think. The missing people at on login screen.

Only 1/4 of characters are melee. Lol.

glad to see my PSAs worked.

I thought druid would be a good choice. I havent played the game since 2005 I think and only played paladin (aside from some alts) for those 4-5 years. Didnt really want to play a melee or tank class and being a healer/versatile character who could accumulate money from ports/PL sounded nice while also possibly soloing a bit cause I dont know how often I will play.

Stuck at work now and starting to think maybe I made the wrong choice. I dont want to play the class that is so overpopulated.

If Druid is what u wanna play then play it! Don't let the class distribution change your mind. I've made that mistake so I'm speaking from experience!

The absolute worst thing is realizing u don't really wanna play a class anymore when you've already sunk 100 hours into that toon

Would love to be a fly on the wall when the first Enchanter hits 29 and goes to buy his spells.

i think burn-out is going to happen regardless of which class you play.

Nice. I haven't rolled my character yet due to busy work schedule and wedding party prep, but definitely going ranger!

Undoubtedly, always does. We will be in classic for over a year before kunark drops. People will rush 50, get their guises / many manastones and peace out until then.
