Yep, I wouldn’t be overly surprised by that.

Last year we had 185 new heroes + 86 costumes after 154 hero + 45 costumes in 2022.
So having 200 new heroes and 100 new costumes is very relalistic.
In few years time Staff should add “Hero of the Day” instead of “Hero of the month” to keep the numbers rising at the expected rate

From your approximation, how many heroes will E&P have at the end of 2024 ?

He says one new hero every 30 hours… Should be about 293 new heroes in a year… But not sure if the 30 hours is the all-time average, or recent average rate of release
Edit - I see now that 1 hero/30 hours was the rate for 2023. If 2024 increases the rate just a bit, we’ll have 300 new heroes this year

I started a new graph for 2024 and based on the first three data points (1. HotM + Super-Elemental, 2. S4 costumes, 3. Goblins + Season of Love) the pace increased further to 1 new hero/costume every about 28h.
That would mean we would see 316 new museum entries in 2024, for a total of 1273.
But having witnessed the pace in 2023, I believe it will be even more.

After the most recent releases we stand at 967 in total.

We are still looking like hitting the 1000 sometime in March.
Also looks like we’re in need of some Holy Heroes / Costumes.

Here the newest graph of hero/costume release for 2024. Up to now, we saw 14 new in 11 days.
Estimate release rate is 1 per ~20h! So the pace increased drastically from when I started on 24th October last year, where it was “only” 1 per ~33h.
Prediction of #1000 then was 1st April, now is about 8th February!

Fun fact: Norman who was released yesterday is by my account hero number 700
Bear in mind I do not count 1* and 2*, and I have a separate count for costumes (who with C. Thoth-Amun are up to 241)
Still looking forward to hero number 777; called Jackpot and who has a Very Slow special called “luck of the draw”, with 25% chance to instantly wipe out all enemies

If you are also leaving out Trainer Heroes then I get 701, crazy numbers 
I have 242 costumes after Thoth-Amun.

I would not put it past them, to just release the same hero but in 5 different elements 
one design, 5 new heroes!

Costumes can change the class of the Hero so why not have a costume which changes element. We could end up with Heroes having 9 (or more) costumes

So I started looking for which hero I was missing.
I found I only had 96 blue legendary heroes.
But looking through Nynavea’s excellent overview in The Ravens Cave and comparing to my only list I did not find anything missing
Mystery…

I’ve checked through my data.
I have Norman as ICE but he’s actually FIRE.
So 96 would appear to be correct.

I heard from Line @Nynaeve_alMeara stopped playing so not sure she still updates her cave.
Either way, you should have a look at my data vault, retrieve the latest hero CSV files and sort by the museum column. You should be able to quickly find who you miss.
I will update it in a bit to include the new hero released today.

Thank you both @Elioty33 and @Oxide
Back to the drawing board to find the missing hero.
I found the missing costume one, which was C2 Elena.
I also found that Tremor is listed twice @PlayForFun
He is listed as a launch both in May 2023 and when he was actually released, which was July 2023. I dont know if this affects your count, but it should still be fixed? (Sorry to add to your workload)

I will look at this later (hopefully today), when I will update the OP with the list of new heroes.
