Current Population by Career?

Hi all. Enjoying the game whenever I can!

I had recently rolled a RP out of curiousity and have liked it so far, but it got me wondering what the overall breakdown of player career choice is.
I remember the Loremaster of Sotek video showcasing the breakdown and thought it was really interesting at the time: https://www.youtube.com/live/OBZP_BtrA_ ... awQK&t=716

So, I'm just curious on if there's been regular updates to this chart (or if there is some location where the devs are regularly sharing this info. If there is, then sorry!). My hope is that a current version could help lead to discussion around potential career improvements elsewhere.

One of the community members made this. It feeds off the GraphQL API the devs set up for things like the killboard.

I tend to filter off of the Order or Destro careers RR60+ and look at the 30 or 90 day graphs b/c that represents people who are doing more than just being class tourists but ymmv.

The presentation is pretty bad, just threw it together like a year ago, I have the data though, looking to rebuild it somewhere in the future. :P

Sorc being below (almost the same) popularity as Magus, is kinda shocking to me.
The disk mount is a deal-breaker for some, but while we are still somewhat in a proc viable meta for warbanding this kinda shows either that 2026 is way more puggish, or that destro just dont do much organized comps any more. And 2-2-2 is enough to lable yourself organized these days.

Cant wait to see what the Ranged patch might do, or not do.

BG still, as always, the most unpopular class. Thank goodness we're nerfed again and again, and one day we'll be nerfed enough to become popular, because no one's wanted to play op BG past 10 years

I believe this claim is spot on. On rare ocassions when i was orvring for like past 2 years i havent found anything organised anyhow resembling being serious. Its just pughammer at the moment it seems. Nothing of mandatory preset 24men with geared toons, proper comps, synergies etc like it was back in a day when campaign matters. At the very very best one may encounter old organised guilds run ~12-18men semi-optimised mostly for fun who gathers once in a blue moon. Not even mentioning times (conq era) when it was serious af and full of real struggle in orvr.
