Warhammer balance is improving...

Initially I was worried about the order to destruction ratio. In just the second week destruction ruled most of the keeps and things looked bleak. But now 29 days in the zones are pretty evenly controlled. I play order on Vortex. Have you guys experienced the same things?

Nope, just the usual. Order gets sparks of grandeur on a rare occasion.
But sparks burn out very quickly.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)
It's more of a challenge for sure.
On my server the Order is way better at working together than Destro but it is 50/50 when it come's to holding keeps e.t.c i have just found that Destro side ppl think they are gods and just go runnign off and think they can solo a Scenario
nothing more frustrating than going into a Scenario and just seeing within the first few seconds it is going to be a disater and a waste of my time lol, i dont expect to win every time but i want groups that work as a team that is how you get things done in my world especially when it requires a team to do so.
Yeah also noticed that pretty much all servers have the same population designator, where at release Destruction was usually one level higher (before most servers were like High Destru, Med Order etc, where now it's High/High, Med/Med etc).
If you want people that work as a group then why do you join solo? I know that it's easier and more convenient to play the game alone and join the occasional group, but thats not how the game is designed. You don't join a soccer team casually and leave again just like that. Warhammer is not a convenient game, its a teamgame and is most fun (and probably ONLY fun) if played that way. Join a Guild (aka team) and play together with them all the time. THAT is how you are meant to play Warhammer and then you will see that it does work out. Right now you will probably rule everything because 90% of the people still think Warhammer can be played solo but in due time only the groups that work together will stay in the game and the challenge will go way up even for the organised players.
I'm afraid balance may be a long term issue with WAR. That being said, it's also an issue with WoW. You guys that have played WoW understand what I mean. Depending on which Battlegroup you belong to Horde or Alliance is dominant in different battlegrounds.
That always perplexed me. There seemed to be no real rhyme or reason to it. It could be the case with WAR as well, some servers may see Destruction as dominant, others with Order dominant and that could change as the game matures, strategies/tactics change, populations change, class mix changes, level of organized guild engagement.
A lot of different factors will come into play over the course of months that will affect server power balance, just like WoW.
