There are numerous factors and issues coming into this. I've not been playing for long here, just a bit over 3 months, but something is just wrong.
Order is in general just really deflated right now - especially compared to the time right after the Morale bomb nerf when we were bristling with energy, winning some cities, pushing IC almost daily. None of that anymore. If you're tracking the number of players in the t4 bracket, solid 53-57% of any given time are Destro, the 43-47% order. And out of the Order only a tiny fraction does oRvR anymore, certianly in "the prime time". Yesterday when we had nearly 400 Destro pushing forts around 00:00 CEST, we could barely muster a 240 of Order in oRvR. And that is pitiful considering at the same time, there were 980ish players online in the t4 bracket and only 53% of them were Destro. At this point aside from some guilds and PUG warband leaders who try to whip up people into activity, Order is not even trying. Now imagine if one or two of the last few popular PUG WB leaders leave...
Now why is the question?
Is it interest as far as the faction itself goes? The classes and general balance? Nerfing of some classes that were promised reworks back to the lowest tier? Available WB compositions? Much higher number of geared players due to months of succesful city farming before the morale nerf? Order just being generally much more fragmented with smaller guilds, much smaller pool of geared players? IDK.
I suspect it's a bit of everything but it's certainly an issue that is getting worse again.
