Actually on DC it's pretty even at this point. Destro is in a bit of an upswing but there's always rvr to be had in all tiers. Some buggyness but the game still has a lot of potential and the upcoming DAoC style rvr dungeon looks to be pretty kick ass.

On Monolith:

Destro was dominating for a long time

Order seemed to dominate for like a month - 6 weeks

and for the last week destro has been pushing aldorf every night

that is to say, it appears to be pretty well balanced

Arkarius

Who are you on monolith?

That's b/c most of Lethargic came back, especially their leadership. When I left Destruction was still dominating to the point of utter boredom then there was another round of server transfers and Order netted a few large guilds and they dominated. This spurred enough interest from the old Monolith regulars to check things out, hence why things are back on track.

What guild are you in and how long have you been on Monolith? Order or Destruction?

We had two order guilds in the transfer come over btw. That's it.

When we first transferred destro was nowhere to be seen, hiding in fucking caves or some shit. They got their 200 man+ zerg back and as you know, in warhammer, numbers > all.

Wasn't just one guild that came back for destro, it was a large number of different guilds.

Destro, Rising Phoenix, and I haven't had much time to play lately because I'm studying for the CPA exam


I've been on the server since feb, maybe?

Nurta

Ahh I left around Feb myself :D I still troll WHA forums though, the RvR there was always better than in the game anyway.

My character level 40 swordmaster rr 46.

Class balance for good or bad seems to not have changed. Personally thought I never saw it as that bad and it seems alright now. Casters and to a lesser extent ranged dps though are dominant. It's not that they're more powerful classes its just that it's easier to hit with ranged attacks and blind aoe in the lag.

Client performance hasn't changed. Still the same horrible fps even on beefy systems and unexplained cient crashes.

The lag is MUCH worse. The server is so slow to update player positions that open field RvR is all but pointless and you'll see very little fighting away from keeps. Keep fights are mildly decent becuase their is less player movement the server does a better job of updating.

RvR is much more active at all tiers. There is almost always some RvR going on in tiers 2, 3 and 4. From early afternoon until late at night. This is the result of several improvements. One being alot more rvr quests. Its even easier to get xp and gold doing rvr now. In all tiers they added some gear rewards for getting influence in rvr combat. Thought it can take quite awhile to grind out that influence, but the gear blows almost anything else you'll find.

PvE hasn't changed, quest rewards suck as they always did. But PvE is entirely dead. With the better rewards for RvR and the lower population. I never saw anyone questing or doing PQ's in any tier on any of my alts. Even scenarios are less popular becuase the rewards are better in RvR.

Overall its mostly the same game only with fewer people, better RvR rewards and more active RvR zones. A great game imo and I enjoy it as much now as I did originally. Except for the crippling lag and that is the sole reason I'm leaving again.
