I don't know whether anyone else takes even a passing interest in what is happening on the other servers but I've just had a quick look at each of them. Going by relics held (which is normally a decent indicator) it seems that, unsuprisingly, one realm is either totally dominant or one realm is completely dominated. For instance :
Now I know the situation is fluid (on Prydwen Midgard was down to only one relic only a month ago) but the general trend seems a reasonably accurate one. On three servers one realm is in total dominance (holds all the relics), on four servers one realm is highly dominant (holds 4 or 5 relics) and on the remaining two there is at least one realm out in front (holding 3 relics).
The thing is although one realm is generally "winning" at some point there always seems to be a badly losing realm or realms. If you look at the servers there are only two where all realms hold at least one relic, most of the time one or both of the lesser realms is totally squeezed out in RvR.
I for one will be very interested to see the stats when someone finally pulls their finger out at GOA and gives us the XML. It would be nice to see whether the "winning" realms have any population size advantage over the others (I'm not talking absolute population because all those lower levels don't add up to much in terms of overall power), particularly within the 45-50 crowd.
It is interesting to note from the US servers that Midgard went into early dominance on them (because of a percieved or real advantage in terms of better classes causing a lot of powergamers to start/reroll there). This was followed by a short resurgance of Hibernia due to favourable patching and fixing of some classes and finally Albion went into the lead in a lot of places because despite having the largest population for the most part it took many, many months for a lot of the ordinary players in that realm to level up to a point where they are any use.
Code:
Prydwen - Midgard: 6 relics
Stonehenge - Midgard: 6 relics
Avalon - Albion: 6 relics
Orcanie - Hibernia: 5 relics, Albion: 1 relic
Logres - Midgard: 4 relics, Hibernia: 2 relics
Excalibur - Albion: 4 relics, Hibernia: 2 relics
Lyonesse - Albion: 4 relics, Midgard: 1 relic, Hibernia: 1 relic
Ys - Midgard: 3 relics, Albion: 3 relics
Broceliande - Midgard: 3 relics, Albion: 2 relics, Hibernia: 1 relicNow I know the situation is fluid (on Prydwen Midgard was down to only one relic only a month ago) but the general trend seems a reasonably accurate one.
