During my stream on Friday I said over and over what the event would look like. All I can say is I'm happy I don't play on weekends and missing most of it.

Nice Destro themed event you guys got going here ...
Still getting kills on Order but having to work for it a bit harder than, apparently, most of the server.

Bah, sadly the graph links are not static. TL;DR is destro was running about a +9% population advantage over last 48 hours which has calmed down to "just" 7% as of this writing. Long term advantage is about 2% as a point of reference. As always with kill events, the results are predictable in that folks flood their mains on the first day and then, sometimes, flood to their alts.
Overall the lakes were pretty balanced. I ran a lot Friday/Saturday on both sides and overall it felt pretty even. Des had quite an advantage before LOTD with the Freebootaz event, but then Order crushed LOTD so fairly equal.
I wasn't around on Sunday to see how things looked.
As far as RoR events go, this one was fine.
Calling it a 'destro themed event' is quite an overstatement.

Sunday was about what I thought it would be. Things swung back slightly to Order but nowhere near what the Destro crush was on Friday/Saturday. I actually got to play a little bit of AAO on Destro (briefly).
At the end of the day its just some light-hearted poking at the devs (with data) to remind them that kill events all end up the same with one side or the other getting stacked. If the events are longer they tend to "even out" by the stacks swapping but kill events just exacerbate the zerg tendencies.
