Which races and classes are the most popular?

I'm putting this in suggestions, because with ODA and Erin trying to get feedback on class suggestions, it might be an idea to see what is being played and what isn't, to discover perhaps why certain classes/races are doing better, how the other classes/races could be made more appealing and possible ideas about what needs prioritizing or not.

I had to make the survey on survey monkey, because forum polls only allow 10 choices.

Classes Champion of Torm, Purple Dragon Knight and Harper Scout aren't included because they're technically not a viable class on this server.

This is mostly for active characters, but if you have a retired character you played a long time with on this server and you feel is important, add them in.

This is the link to take the survey

This is to see the results

This is a good general indicator. Some may like to play other characters but maybe this world does not support it.

Ack, I forgot gnomes! (Because they're meant to be super rare I guess but still >.< )


Class wise, we seem pretty mixed so far, but blackguard and palemaster notably lacking (because I can at least think of a few monk and paladins, and Dwarven Defender is obviously going to be rare due to it's race restrictions.)

Race wise, Half-orc is notably unloved. RP wise, that's not too strange, considering they should be rather low in number anyway. We do seem to have a lot of lycanthropes though, (currently 3/19 chars= 16%, which isn't a huge amount, but might be a bit unusually high).

Also, need to fix the survey's weighting system so it doesn't consider 3 '1 characters' to just equal 1. >.>

Edit: Apparently survey monkey can only show weighted averages, and not total averages. Which is annoying, but we can still add up the total ourselves, which is currently:
