WAR population heading towards equilibrium, poll suggests
Fish or cut bait? Boxers or briefs? Order or Destruction? It's those difficult choices that make life complicated. When it comes to MMOs, getting the balance of appeal right between player factions is one tricky task. According to Napox, as detailed over on thegreenskin.com, the population balance on Warhammer Online is now evening out, after an initial surge of favor for Destruction. This data comes from a career poll on warhammeralliance.com.
Napox's meticulously researched spreadsheets give a current estimate of 47% Order, 53% Destruction; the bad guys are still in front, but at least more people are signing up to play for the white-hats. Goblin Shaman is by far the most popular class, while the Elf White Lion is the least.

Polls such as this aren't the same as hard server data, of course, but they do give an interesting overview of player trends. The Destruction side in Warhammer Online does have obvious green-is-the-new-black appeal, and as The Greenskin notes, Chaos and Greenskins already have a legacy of tabletop wargaming popularity behind them. It's reassuring to see that some lawful-minded players are signing up to take a stand against such rampant hooliganism.
