If you can't decide what to do, you could always add a new tab to your chart. Label one tab "active characters" and another tab "all characters." Include the inactive characters in the latter tab.

-----------------------------

It makes sense that classes like Wizards, Clerics, and Warriors would do well at level 60 (they're important raiding classes) while solo-oriented classes would peter out somewhat. Druids, in particular, are often created for the purpose of serving as port mules and hence don't need to get to high levels to perform that role well. The hybrid classes tend to run out of gas in the mid 50's as the experience penalty crushes their will to level.

Hey, that's not a crazy idea. I'll check how I can implement this in a smart way considering I might not be updating the database every day until the end of time.

Are character names relevant though ? I don't want to create a tool so people can brag/rant/flame/troll, etc.

You're absolutely right. The names of the characters has no bearing on anything and can only be used for evil and drama-generating threads. It also compromises the anonymity of players who don't want to be bothered with requests for ports/rezzes, etc. while they're in-game.

Okay, I might as well do another round of updates then. Give me a week or so to get some data.

Made a first quick update, lots of new characters [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just noticed that I did not put %'s for the detailed reports, I added them.

47% of druids are wood elves! http://p1999pop.dmsimard.com/details/Classes/druid
15% of all level 60's are enchanters ! http://p1999pop.dmsimard.com/details/Levels/60
etc. etc.
