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.

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%

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.

    As an orc female, all I can say is - It rocks to be a minority.

    I would ATI fanboy all over this if I was proud of my ATI card. Sure it's powerful, but OpenGL games (like spiral knights) are broken and CCC fails to run both before and after reformatting my drive.Don't go ATI.

    Lol @ NVIDIA again. I am a bit shocked at the results of gender ratio.

    I think every female char looks dumb (except BE, Draenei)

    So because you aren't able to properly install the drivers others shouldn't pick ATI/AMD.

    That's decided then. Next time I'm making a female Orc.

    Only 27% of Goblins are female? /boggle
    And only 25% of Trolls are female? Real shame.

    I knew I made the right choice when my race changed my blood elf female to a Tauren female. /sexy moo

    I feel like an endangered species now being a female orc warlock.

    My only conclusion is that the WoW community likes to play male characters and/or characters with resembling males. The proof lies within the draenei; which female race got a limb bulging our from the middle of her body- the draenei's.So conclusion; Wow players like to know there is some bulgy limb bouncing around under that armor, all sweaty.. its not gay, its just a fact.

    Not really that surprising, aside perhaps from draenei. I didn't think there would be that many males...

    Nice job though; I always did wonder.

    Drop and drop rates..... loooooooong story. My guild killed Majordomo and Ragna 5 times and ONLY 1 pala token dropped. Yet the mount manage to drop on our last kill on ragna. Each tier same stuff. Most wanted token (Pala/priest/warlock) which almost all the time are half of raid in guilds are not dropping equaly to others. Gettin sick of tokens for warriors/rogue/dk etc going for offspec when half of raid dont have 4th tier set bonus cause it does not drop. They should drop equally.
