WarcraftRealms . com WarcraftRealms . com is a fansite that specializes in providing facts , historical data , and trends in the population of the " World of Warcraft " realms and their players ' class es , race s , and guild s — and how these change over time . These contributions are player submitted and gathered with the use of various Addon s . This data can be viewed by server ( realm ) , faction , class , race , guild , or even level . It is also regularly maintained and updated with new and improved features and data analysis . Rollie is the owner and developer of the CensusPlus UI Mod , which is an extension of the original mod by Ian Pieragostini . WarcraftRealms . com is privately owned and has no ties to the gold / account / item selling enterprise sites whose ads were necessary to pay for the servers . As of June 13 , 2008 , the site has officially gone gold free . Data collection and upload . Data is collected by the Warcraft CensusPlus UI mod , which can be downloaded here . The mod essentially crawls the / who data of people online when you take the census . Additional Battleground related data is collected by the Killing Fields mod , a feature only available for US realms . After you have taken a Census from within the game , the data is saved to your UI variables folder . You must upload this file to the website for processing . Once the file has been uploaded , it is placed in a queue to be processed and the data is added to the database for display ! Uses of the data . WarcraftRealms . com does offer a variety of game based data . Realm data , both in the US and EU servers , are reflected in the form of realm conception dates , timezone , type ( PvP / PvE / RP / etc ) , faction population , faction ratios , and total realm population . Additionally , it has the ability for guilds to enter their guild progression , links to their website , and [ recently added ] image album . One of the common form of using the website is via the Character History which guilds use to gauge an applicant ' s playing styles through comparison of how quickly they leveled or seeing how loyal the player is by checking their previous guild history . Once signed up to the website , a player can claim their character and hide their history , in which the message " The owner of this character has requested that the history be hidden " will be displayed . Additionally , the profile can display a biography , user submitted images , and recent battlegrounds ( via the Killing Fields mod ) . The Character History does have a comment box in which people can leave messages in regards the player character . These comments can be deleted by the owner once the character has been claimed . Another form of use of the character data is in the form of signature , most commonly used on message boards . These can be made first by claiming your character and then choosing from a wide selection of fonts , font sizes , colors , display options , and even backgrounds . Additional customization can be made by using MySigSpace . com , a site run by the same administrator , Rollie , that enables the user to take artistic control of their signature .
