I wrote down 10th most experienced players' totals from each race (from bat.org
"known races" tables). Hypothesis behind this comparison is that more
popular race attracts more players and while individual highbies might
sometimes reinc to 'weak' races, top 10 players of the race gives better
picture how popular and 'in tune' the race is.
There are still some caveats, the list includes inactive players gone for years
(races might have been tuned since) and wizard test characters. Anyways:
Not qualified to do much commentary but no surprise that best rebirth races
dominate the list as top players gravitate to them. On the other hand some
rebirth races place poorly. Races popular with lowbie/midbie tanks don't do as
well here as one might expect as the highbies would rather choose unique assets
of the Draconian, Barso or Titan.
I'm surprised to see Ent placed so high despite all the talk that the race
'doesn't work'. Otoh I would have expected Brownie to be much higher. No
surprise to anyone that Cromagnon sucks, a model example of a race overtuned to
uselessness.
