How this is measured
These figures count character appearances in raid logs uploaded to Warcraft Logs (opens in a new tab) 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.
