Yes I cheated a little. Since WarcraftRealms.com is down and I only had noted the first appearance for some of my older characters some years ago already, the newer the character, the less exact I can put the date. But I have my list of who was max level in which expansion, that helped a lot, even before looking at individual blog posts, but those only go back to 2009

Also I put all the non-primary characters per class (and faction) in brackets, so there should exactly be 26, but unless I miscounted I forgot exactly one.

So some useless stats:

  • Horde characters (main server) created between 2005 and 2018
  • Alliance characters (main server) created between ~2008 and 2025
  • Most server transfers per char: 3
  • Most servers any one character has been: 2 (don’t ask, the NE Warrior went Aggramar -> Tichondrius -> Agg -> Tic)
  • Characters with 2 server transfers: 1 (Aggramar -> somewhere -> Aggramar)
  • Characters with 1 server transfer: around 8, all Alliance and Hellscream -> Tichondrius

Unfortunately I couldn’t say I’ve played my Horde toons actively for the last couple years, just bringing some (or most) to the level cap each expansion, or I guess I’d have to celebrate the 20th birthday for some of them this month. Kinda shocking.
