Stats - Character Gender Ratios
News has been slow and we've been looking at building random stats to keep you interested! We're still working on the juicy stuff but let's start with character gender ratios!

You might think that Female Dwarves are player's least favorite female model, but you would be mistaken! Female Orcs take the lead by a few percent margin in our poll of Level 85 characters.

Race Male Female
Human 66.48% 33.52%
Orc 89.34% 10.66%
Dwarf 86.72% 13.28%
Night Elf 56.2% 43.8%
Undead 77.4% 22.6%
Tauren 85.82% 14.18%
Gnome 69.43% 30.57%
Troll 74.24% 25.76%
Goblin 72.44% 27.56%
Blood Elf 55.05% 44.95%
Draenei 47.73% 52.27%
Worgen 80% 20%

Good things really do come to those who wait, or at least, exercise persistence and patience.

I should add that, unlike the olden days, you aren't leaving empty handed from any boss encounter, and you can spend the Valor Points you're obtaining to acquire even more powerful gear. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)


We Want Your Comics!
We’ve spent 8 years adding awesome community comics to our Comics section, but we’re far from finished. We’re looking for the best new World of Warcraft comics to become front page news on our site, and we’d love to have your help, whether you’re a seasoned contributor or a first-time cartoonist. If you’d like to have your comic displayed on our website, submit it here. (Blue Tracker / Official Blog)

API - HTML scraping no longer allowed
This is important to anyone who is still scraping the new Armory HTML, as it will break anything that relies on doing so.

If you are currently in the process of porting over to the API and have not requested a key yet, please do so. We do not want to interrupt service for community sites that are following that path.

Unless you're making 1000s of requests a day, its unlikely you'll get caught up in this. This is highly unlikely to apply to blue tracker sites (Assuming they are doing it sensibly), or personal guild sites.

NVIDIA Drivers
A quick note for those of you that keep your drivers up to date. There are some significant bugs in the 280.26 drivers that were recently released, including a bug that makes cards run warm. Avoid upgrading until a fixed driver is released.

    Eh... horns yes, hooves not really. It's more of the fact that they have epic curves.

    in fact the Nvidia driver problem only happen to people who still have old 512 mb video card who dont have direct 10 x or 11...because they dont care about direct x9 now. A good advice for old card users, get the driver patch 266.58, it is the more stable.

    The Draenei ratio is less a matter of the ladyfolk being particularly sexy than the simple fact that the males look absolutely DOOFY. I would be very interested in seeing further breakdowns based on class. I don't see many other femme tauren DKs or warriors; I imagine most of them are shamans and especially druids. Ditto orcs and shamans.

    Woo, thanks for the heads up on the nVidia driver bug. I just now got the notification that a new driver came out -- I'll wait till the next version arrives.

    This just can't be right. I mean, sure, I can believe the rest of the parse, but not this one.

    You use the word poll in your descriptor of the graph. So, is this in fact a poll and not data pulled from data-mining? My point - This information may not reflect the actual distribution of gender among races.

    One day, all the female draenei did /waggle at the same time. This was more than Azeroth could endure, and thus began the Cataclysm. True story.
