Hello there!
I'm going to roll my very first character in just about 1 hour. I haven't decided upon going republic or empire. If it matters I've decided on the server Bloodworthy.
I get the feeling that more morally obliged people rather choose to play republic over empire, that is, the really nice people tend to roll republic. I realize everyone isn't the same and there are a bunch of different reasons for choosing side (friends/guilds/looks/story/etc.). Is the whole idea not applicable in reality or is this something that is noticeable in-game? If so, could you give me a rough estimate of how much?
The whole Goody-goody thing is a big deal for me since (yea wow) I played wow on the server burning legion... I did good, got into the best raiding guild there. Did hardcore PvE and topped DPS in my group. But hell, that server was so *********** messed up community-wise (as alliance). I then rerolled on another server, Outland (and as a horde), it was like night and day. Awesome community, they talked and helped out, didn't bash people who were new, but rather helped them become good. I loved that mentality.
Any answer is love, man even if it's just a one-sided experience. Any info is better then no info . Oh, and sorry about grammatical errors and whatnot, english is not my main-language.
TL;DR
Does the republic tend to have a better community then the Empire? (Helps out and so on). If so, how?
