The guys and gals at MMO-Champion have once again been analyzing some data. This time, the question was asked of how many characters individual players have reached level 100, or in other words: How much is twinked in World of Warcraft? To better understand the numbers, they checked whether a character had reached the maximum level for game versions 5.4, 6.0, and 6.1.
As expected: Number of twinks is rising
It’s no great surprise that the number of twinks per player increases over time. Nearly half of all players (52%) have only one character at maximum level. One in four (24.4%) has exactly 2 characters and nearly one in nine (11.7%) exactly 3. Higher than expected are the 0.7% of players who have leveled 9 or more characters to level 100.
Especially compared to 6.0, the number of players who have tortured more than one character through Draenor is increasing. The new heirloom system, along with the lack of “fresh” content, are certainly two important reasons.
Of course, these numbers are still far from the end state of “Mists of Pandaria,” where 5% of all players had leveled more than 9 characters to level 90. So far, Warlords of Draenor is still quite young and has not yet had a drought period like back in the “Siege of Orgrimmar.” Anyone who wants to see all the numbers in detail should take a look at our sources.
And the endurance award goes to…
One particularly eager player has now brought over 195 different characters to level 100. This means not only that he could probably complete every single quest in his sleep, but also that he has registered at least 4 games concurrently on his account. On a single WoW account, you can only create a maximum of 50 characters.
So I’ll directly ask in the round: How many characters have you brought to level 100 so far? I’m currently at 3 – how much are you twinking?
