Half of all Paladins in Forever are Undead

After the first week of World of Warcraft: Forever, 51% of all Paladins are Undead. That makes Undead the most played race, ahead of Humans and, at a distance, Night Elves. Figures of over three million characters show it.

Undead lead

The new combination of Undead and Paladin is a big part of the reason. Undead were left with one of the weaker sets of racials after the beta, and still no race is more popular. The story behind the Forsaken Paladin was made together with the team of Warcraft III: Forsaken Kingdom, says Aggrend in episode 7 of the podcast. How it starts is in our post about Unbowed.

The average character is level 21

The figures count characters from level 10. The average character is level 21, and the curve drops fast from around level 30. So most players are taking their time, and you are not alone if your leveling feels slow. Tips to go faster are in our experience guide.

Forever is the most popular surname

Surnames are new in Forever, and players have fun with them. The most popular one, by a wide margin, is simply Forever.
