Racial Distribution

Next, we’ll be analyzing the percentages for racial distribution, as well as the most popular sizes and genders for each race.
Hume males still top the rankings this year; however, Tarutaru males are hot on their heels. If the popularity of the diminutive Windurstians continues to rise, we may see a new race in the number one position this time next year. In an interesting comparison, Tarutaru females continue to come in at a humble sixth.
The only change we see in the rankings this time around is the previously fourth-ranked Elvaan males giving way to Hume females, jumping up from fifth position.
Gender continues to be fairly balanced, with gender distribution coming in at 54.2% for males, and 45.76% for females.

Small character models occupy the majority for five out of eight races--a trend unchanged from last year’s census. One notable change is the size distribution of Elvaan males, with the larger character model overtaking the previously popular medium size. It appears that players still prefer to choose the larger sizes for Elvaan males and Galka.
