damn zerglings all over the place, i hate how most of you picked destro its soo unbalanced compared to order, i dont understand why but i think order fascinates me the most, which made me pick it (shadow warrior) but the thing is its like everyone is soo used to wow, ooooo horde/destro is going to capture sieges and win rvr scenarios all the time so im going to pick it that side....seriously though i dont find it fun when order gets the snot kicked out most of the time, majority is destro like win  marjority of the time...no competition for them, but if people started rerolling order i would say this game would be soo much better...which may someday happen, but it will be soo much better, LESS PEOPLE IN PQS THINK ABOUT THAT, more playing time in rvr scenarios do to LESS PEOPLE trying to join,(even though i guess its pretty fast for destro i heard) but seriously some of you need to start thinking of playing order cause in my opinion order is a very very very very fun side to play i think order classes are more fun to play with than destro,i got bored of them....but please what disappoints me is that no1 plays order..and its just all unbalanced,when i was lvl 11 i could see atleast one full party in open rvr for destro, but when it comes to order i see 2 people most wandering around by themselves, and then 2 waiting for the next scenario at camps...please think about rerolling ORDER!

 

 

MY QUESTION IS : is do you know any servers that are evenlt populated amoungst both sides, and winning scenarios is arounda  50 50?

look at the server list...gives you an idea of how many per side. Volkmar is very even, with order owning most of t2 and t3, but expect to wait in queue at times

 The sides should balance out more as additional casual gamers join in on the game. Scenarios are even-sided, instanced matchups, so unless your side is poor at playing the game, instanced RvR is unffected by any population imbalance. I play on Burlok (EU) which is close enough to being even, although Destruction at present still do have a few more players, but not that many.

Iron Rock so far seems pretty even atleast when I play. The keeps seem to turn alot back and forth and during prime time hours I rarely lose a scenario. During off peak hours my win percentage goes down alot though maybe 40% win 60% lose. There are alot of times we let Destro get close just so they will keep joining up and not quit. 

\ The RVR lakes are kinda different as Desto does have the numbers if they use em but it really seems to just make up for skill as we have won several times with a 3 Destro to 1 order ratio before. There have been times when they have brought so many that you couldnt even move in the keeps though. I look at it this way if they own all the keeps it means I always have something to attack which means more options. If they own all the keeps they have nothing to do but wait until we feel like attacking one. Also the instant ques for scenarios are great also for order so I dont mind that they have more numbers.

Playing- Lotro

As much as I wanted to play Destruction, I saw the way the wind was blowing and opted for Order.

Can't complain having a blast, and generally holding our own at T1 on Axebite.

Got to say on Karag Dron it's not a problem. In fact when I now log into an alt and go back to any T1 or T2 area there's a big blue bar in the top right. Order are deffinately getting ahead in numbers now.

DaoC, EQ2, DnL, WoW, GW, SWG, AC, Tibia, WAR - atm: EvE and LotRO

This thread, while being a simple whine-thread, shows that sides are breaking even on many servers now.

I think many people thought they would join the underdogs with destruction but then realized that they chose the popular side. I myself have two chars on two servers, one order and one destruction, and I can't say one side wins more or plays better.

May contain nuts.

It could be a lot worse - I get the feeling that if they hadn't axed the Orc Choppa then the bias towards Destruction would be even greater. The problem could get exponentially worse if this trend continues: people will get tired of being steamrollered as Order and either leave or roll Destruction. The number of Destruction players will then grow to a point where there is simply no competition and people will start becoming bored if there is no challenge.

As the cirlce of light increases, so does the circumference of darkness around it

karak eight peaks has fairly even sides, mostly becasue the servers are always full =p

as for scens, the actual population doesn't matter simply becasue there's always 12 vs 12. Neverheless, on KEP, i've won 22 Tor Anroc's in a row with my guild

If they hadn't removed KOTBS then order would have seen many more players
