neither Warhammer or WoW pvp/rvr w/e you want to call it compare with DAoC.. that's simply the best design ever made.. and the population numbers are climbing there.. the same as Warhammer's numbers are declining. Tier 4 just blows.

If you look at the server populations, it has been declining since launch.

At least on Dark Crag it's still very alive. Hell, one guild on our server alone has 1500+ members (since max guild size is 500, it's actually 4 sub guilds lol). Fights are also very common. The other day at one of the keeps we had a 209 destro vs 133 order battle, and that's not something thats rare, especially on the weekends.

Roll destro on Dark Crag, Order needs more cannon fodder (but in reality, Destro outnumbers Order, I just enjoy facing down server-downing zergs).
