Pathfinder Class Popularity Visualization

[deinol]

For no particular reason I created a page to visualize the popularity of classes based on user profiles here at Paizo.

I didn't include the APG classes because the iconics pics in the community use package doesn't include them yet. I added the poor magus, but he probably won't see more action until Ultimate Magic comes out.

Enjoy.

Here is my raw data, for those that are curious. I found it interesting that Summoner is the only APG class that rivals the 4 main core classes, but that could be because people have been using that word for other things (like a wizard specialist.)

I don't if it is ironic, coincidental, unfortunate, or appropriate.

Hm. Cleric, fighter, wizard, and rogue. Nice to see the most popular classes lines up so well with the traditional party. Surprised to see monks over barbarians, though.

It's because Monks are cooler than Barbarians :P

A lot of the times you'll have to look at aliases that people create. Most play-by-post games use aliases for character sheets and in-character posting.
