For this analysis, 13.79 million characters on US realms and 13.21 million characters on EU realms were recorded. The data were collected by using Blizzard's Battle.net API.
Realm Pop: "To get the list of characters for a realm, first we record all the characters who posted to the auction house. Then we fetch and record their guild rosters. This should cover the majority of characters on a realm". The figures that do not total to hundred percent are most likely due to rounding of the individual components.
