Theyre progression servers. That means they open with the classic set and
each expansion only opens when they are triggered by the players. So no
beastlords/berserkers till the expansion they were added in gets opened.

I figure that on the progression servers, haste, slow, CC and mana regen
spells are far more important than normal servers. For that matter, most
buffs/debuffs are - kind of the way it *should* be.

Doesn't seem to match what I've seen, which is far more SK than
warriors, although admittedly the Paladin thing does fall in line as
less popular than either..

I've also seen far fewer druids than shaman, but it could simply be thta
the druids are all off soloing somewhere.

Other than this, the numbers are more or less in line with my observations.

For one thing, there's no KEI, or other long duration mana regen buff;
this means if you want mana regen, its going to have to be reapplied
every half hour or so; you either group an enchanter or you bring along
an enchanter bot, or you drink a lot of clarity potions.

KEI and Temp and their ilk were a massive blow to the desirability of
clerics and enchanters; on the progression servers, they simply don't exist.

Holy cow! Good call. Filtering out just the level 1's made a significant
difference. Hard to believe that half of all the characters shown on
EQPlayers are level 1.

Combine

Cleric - 4370
Druid - 4330
Warrior - 4270
Necromancer - 4170
Magician - 3870
Shaman - 3690
Enchanter - 3210
Monk - 2730
Shadowknight - 2610
Wizard - 2570
Bard - 2550
Paladin - 2310
Ranger - 2310
Rogue - 1890
44880

Sleeper

Necromancer - 4110
Druid - 3930
Cleric - 3830
Warrior - 3730
Magician - 3610
Shaman - 3470
Enchanter - 3210
Monk - 2730
Shadowknight - 2450
Bard - 2430
Wizard - 2430
Rogue - 1790
Ranger - 1950
Paladin - 1910
41580

I've since found out, however, that this database is not completely
accurate. There is evidently an option the player can set to prevent
their data from being included in the EQPlayers rankings and, possibly,
query results. Aside from that, I have seen claims of other various
inaccuracies that may or may not be directly related to that as well.

Can you exclude all the level 1 toons?

I created toons on those servers to reserve names, but probably will
never play them.

Aye, there is. I opted out of that feature on the day it appeared,
for all of my alts. There's a button in "options" to opt out/in.

Although we can assume that the option is spread equally through the
classes.

Maybe they dont have long term plans of playing there.
