Does this show players online right now?

No. WoWCensus samples characters seen using community in-game /who observations. One player may have many characters, and scans cover different windows. A census cannot accurately show concurrent online subscribers. The dataset's observation date, not our page-load time, indicates how fresh a statistic is.

Data source: WoWCensus Realm Viewer. Also compare Classic Armory's census. Source accessibility and third-party dataset coverage may change.

Which ruleset should you choose?

Choose a region and ruleset compatible with your friends, faction and preferred gameplay. PvE and PvP differ in world combat rules; RP and RP-PvP are community-focused options. A sampled faction ratio should not override the current in-game ruleset restrictions.
