Which character type is your main?

[Torp]

I have lately seen many people stating "50% of all players are archers", "50% of all plaeyrs are cav" and "the majority of players are 2H spammers", "Half the  players are polearm spammers" "everyone is using a shield " and so on.

Well, now i want to figure out how the playerbase of cRPG is spread out.

I have decided to divide this poll into Ranged, Infantry and melee, since the main question (imo), is how much cav and ranged tehre is, compared to infantry. Infantry is just one option, since infantry usual stick together and play the same way, making up the base army.

Please don't vote 'hybrid' unless you regularly (almost every round) use both options, or you change between 2 styles on map-to-map basis.
If you are on horse all the time except for a few city maps, vote cav, not hybrid.

Letting people vote what their man is, does not have to give a representative result about what the most played class is.

[MrShine]

I (and I'm guessing many others) change my class every generation, so I don't really have a 'type' that my main only plays.

[Kafein]

No one voted for HA, yet many people mainly play that, and I guess a reasonable part of the community has an HA alt.

Also don't forget that the part of infantry that visit the forum regulary is bigger than the part of archers that do the same. Whether is it because the forums are for whining or because a majority of known, old, trolling, leading and/or good players are infantry, I don't know.

[Astinus]

make it more detailed, give more options like 2handers, xbowmen, HA, lancer you know the shits

This has "real" data. Worth taking a look at if you haven't.

so many numbers

don't you devs have some kind of overview on how many mains have which proficiencies that we can see? would give us a better overview.

Also, to you guys who say this isnt accuarte; i know.
This is mostly so i have something to refer to when teling people they are wrong when they say that 60% of the plaeyrs on battle servers are cav or that 50% are ranged.

[Armbrust_Schtze]

this generation im fully longbow man (:

in groups of 2 or more they are very effective against non shielder knights and the upkeep is pretty small =D

next generation i will try fully built pikeman though..

[Penitent]

So far, the spread looks pretty balanced!

Infantry has the most...about twice that of either cav/hybrid or ranged.

# of cav/hybrid + # of ranged = Infantry.  Cool!

Anyone without anything useful to do feels like counting the different classes?

I'm one of the guys that yells that 50% of the player are archers. Now I know it isn't 50%, but I do feel like there has been an increase, also within the ranged group. I rarely see as much throwers or crossbowmen than archers in a server. I think a lot of these are new players or alts of veterans, so I don't think that this spread will be very representative of the class distribution. Although it is interesting data.

the only thing that btohers me, is that i dont really know wh ovoted inf/cav :p

i think some of them are mainly infantry who put 3 points in riding instead of IF and then ride on the plains?

[jspook]

I put inf/cav.  I have 5 in riding, and play about 50/50 with my courser/lance or my 2h

I am absolutely terribad at cav, but this is the first gen I have used it, and I am learning.  albiet very slowly.  its not as easy as it looks

[Seawied]

My MAIN is Infantry/ranged, but I have alts at level 30 for every single class listed 

[karasu]

Hybrid (inf/ranged).  *pukes on pure archers* 

[Ninja_Khorin]

Pure 2h.
