While the "pretty" races - Elves primarily - naturally gathered the highest amount of players, the so called "ugly" races actually aren't as unpopular as one might think. In fact, the "small" races ironically are the least popular in WoW, whereas the Lalafell are miles and bounds more popular than the FFXIV "Elves" and the Roegadyn. And that's even if you ignore JP for a second because the distribution only marginally differs between the regions.

It's quite interesting actually that Elves, which are one of THE most popular fantasy races across the world ever, are one of the least popular races in this game. Honestly? I think that's execution more than fantasy at fault.
