Population data from the Live Letter

I'm very surprised about the tank/healer %

As a whm my queue time shot up to 20+minutes after 30. And every tank I know is instant queue all the way to 50.

So I suppose the statistics are leaving out VERY important information on the server. The overwhelming number of healers that actually do instances compared to the overwhelming number of newb tanks that seem to think the game consists of FATE zerging so they don't actually do dungeons.

That could be due to the fact that 30+ scholars are also allowed to queue as a healer.

Seems like most players on non legacy realms are quitting.

Interesting about how many players are female and male, almost even with JP. One thing I noticed was how many people are stuck at 15. Is this because of the story quest and having to progress by dungeon group? I know once I had hit 15 and realized I was going to be forced to dungeon I lost interest in progressing the story and focused on testing other classes to 15. It sucks not having a retainer because you have to party up. Oh well. Interesting data.

Well, it's male/female characters. If you don't know that.

That's cause most people probably get some class to 15 as the requirement for their job and then abandon it. (like I pretty much dumped my CNJ and THM at 15/26 once I got all the skills I needed for scholar.) Also with crafting, again, I wanted the level 15 culinarian cross skill so I got culinarian to 15 and now it's just sitting and rotting away (except when I do my GC dailies for seals ;3)

and thats why the average lvl is so low , add that lots of ppl open a class and never touch it (so its lvl 1 )

They're not "stuck" - this is simply due to the unlocking job requirments - you unlock jobs by reaching lvl 15 on the secondary class for each given job.

Healer / Tank / DPS / Other ??????

Wtf does the 'other' mean? DoH and DoL ? There's no true support classes, and I'm pretty sure they are talking about DoW/DoM role distribution.

I don't remember where I read it but it means players that were gathering/crafting at the time of the snapshot.

What I'd love to see, is the split between people from EU and NA on EU/NA block. If it's 50-50, then maybe SE, you should give us our own datacenter. Ya know, like every single MMO out there does, and stop selling us your fake EU servers from Canada.
