Raid population over time

1 of 25 weeks had far fewer reporting realms than a nearby collected week — a movement there can be collection coverage, not the market.

Rated arena is not tracked on this edition, so the combined figure is the raid figure.

How this is measured

These figures count character appearances in raid logs uploaded to Warcraft Logs (s’ouvre dans un nouvel onglet) each weekly raid lockout, split by faction and grouped by connected realm. Each character is counted once per week, so a player with several raiding characters appears once for each of them.

Unknown counts characters we saw raiding whose faction the source did not publish — Warcraft Logs reports a faction only for ranked characters, a raid with both factions present leaves the rest unmarked, and an unrecognised faction value is counted here rather than guessed. They are included in the total.

It is a weekly measure of raiding engagement — a useful proxy for how active a realm is, but not a true census of every player. Realms without uploaded logs in a given week show no data for that week.
