Return of Reckoning

Hello. Played the game at launch, was just shown that this exists and just have a few questions.

What's the population balance right now? As in number of current ONLINE players. I don't have a faction preference for warhammer fantasy as i find all the races likeable so i tend to lean toward whichever side is less popular.

I haven't played in a long, long time. Are the factions better balanced? I remember Order being more favorable when it came to class match ups, like bright mage vs sorceress, zealot vs rune priest, magus vs engineer.

Thanks ahead of time. Just trying to get some info before i pick a side.

Edit: I should also note that although it says on this website that Order is under represented, when i installed this morning it said destruction needed players. So that's what i'm trying to clarify.

You can see how many people are online on each side on the armory page. As I'm writing this it's 51% order, 49% destro, but when one side is zerging it can be as much as 40/60.

I also just realized you have 20 character slots and can play both sides. So i'll just tool around and see what i like.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah I get that message all of the time. Sometimes for destro, sometimes for order. But from what I've seen there's quite a fair distribution of Destro to Order players. Though I tend to only play destro, I still have an Order char I jump on every now and then.
