New Player got general questions

[thehay95]

Hello.

Not sure if this is the appropiate section to post this.
So, i havent played warhammer since its original launch back then. At that time i was playing a squig herder mainly.

I got really hyped when i found out that Return of Reckoning exists.

So my questions are,

Which faction has less players?
On the factions, are tanks in demand? I was thinking about going for Ironbreaker or Black Orc first.
My plan is to go for the faction which has demand, and has less population.
Im a native german, but i dont really care for joining a german guild, either is fine with me.

For now these two questions are my main concern before starting out.

Population fluctuates depending on time zone, and what month it is. Overall fairly balanced between the two.

Order usually lacks good defensive tanks, sometimes healers. Definitely do not need more ranged dps. Destro usually has a lack of ranged dps, sometimes tanks, but they have plenty of melee most times.

Overall IB or BO would be a fine choice for you to start with on either faction. Welcome to RoR.

Wenn du vor hast eine Tankklasse zu spielen, nimm Order. Tanks sind meistens recht rar dort. Wenn du allerdings gerne zergst nimm Destr. Die sind in der Prime Time meist in "größeren" Mengen unterwegs. Was aber auch wiederum eine Herausforderung sein kann

Viel Spaß

No matter which side you pick you will be outnumbered plenty and will outnumber your enemy plenty. If you log into either side and ask in general chat they will probably tell you they are the underdog. Play the one you like more. Good tanks are always in demand.
