Cool! Interesting figures here, especially the disparity between the most popular race (everyone's just wrong) and the most popular alliance (again, everyone's wrong :P )
Unless the majority of old mary-playing elf-lovers have the Explorer's/Adventurer's Pack, how can both those facts be accurate?

The majority probably do have the any-alliance thing. It comes prebundled in just about every ESO deal these days. High Elf is just too good to pass up for some mage classes.

I count for two High Elves... blame it on Edana :P
I want to meet the guy who had the highest unpaid bounty, did he manage to kill a guard or something?

I hadn't thought about the optimisation thing. Makes sense now, for a minute my eyes were deceiving me and I assumed it was telling me they were players' favourites: People actually like Altmer?! Preposterous! But they make good casters so that's all that matters.
As for EP, I tried. I tried getting EP'd. I even made two EPs so I could experience an EP DP, but it was a slog. Only Naryu kept the dream alive... :p That said, meeting Almalexia was great. Jorunn was cool, too. Shadowfen was genuinely interesting and unique, Skyrim felt pretty spiritual, Dunmer are still among the best... Huh. Maybe I misjudged them :D

I like the "idea" of the Ebonheart Pact better than any other Alliance. DC is too garden-variety medieval fantasy (with a lot of Necromancy haha), and their king seems like a insecure weakling. AD is great for lore hounding and enjoying interesting lands, but their Alliance is solely focused around Queen Ayren. EP is about "us" - as fragile as that is. I like the concept of the Alliance hanging by a thread, but where we will act as one when it counts even though we all hate each other. As far as questing, I do get a little "Skyrim fatigue" when questing around Eastmarch and The Rift, but Morrowind and Vvardenfell is sufficiently alien for my tastes. Plus, I HATE the way Skyrim portrays most Nords in this game. But, overall, I like EP as an Alliance.
