Blood Elf's the most used race on World of Warcraft?

According to the Census+, the human race is the most popular being first with 19%, followed with night and blood elves at 16% and then comes dranei, tauren and undead at 10%, the rest is.. the rest. So your statement, that the blood elves are the most popular is kinda innaccurate, as the census plus is based on actual data recieved by scanning the realms.

I think you are probably close as I see many during the game. I've wondered what the statistics are on the whole game itself and found this link rather interesting. It's shows a graph of the game demographics by a person that used a meta crawler on the WoW Armory site here is the link http://www.lsmason.com/blog/2007/05/06/crawling-the-world-of-warcraft-armory/

If that is indeed the case, the reason for that would be because Blood Elves look cool in stature. Being the only appealing class in the Horde faction makes it the most chosen one. And since they're with the Horde, it's like they are the most appealing badboys/girls in the game.

I play almost everyday and the last time I saw the census and discussions about which race was used more the Blood Elves were now second and the Humans were first with the gnomes gaining. I play all the characters with each one having a different class and different professions. I think the blood elves are cool because of the way they look and the graphics for there area are great but then again I really enjoy the whole game and playing all characters. Happy Mylotting.

When I played, I was on a PvP server and I played alliance. When out hunting I would usually leave horde alone and go about my business. The exception was if that horde was a blood elf, they were always "kill on sight". Much like night elves are for many horde players. Blood elves seemed to attract the most immature kind of person to play them, usually having names like Sephirothlawl or gokubloodelf.

I mostly like the horde cause they are way cooler, but i think the Blood Elfs is much used bcuz of their silencing racial spell something which also regenerates mana is you are a pala or priest or mage. I am a troll priest, i like to heal and trolls are just COOL!

on my server, 60% of the hordes are BEs, not to mentioned girl players love to use BEs. And those perverts often roll horde if they know horde's fraction has more girls. Resulting in the entire BE and horde population to increase like crazy.
