I ignored my predictions, yet it turned out the same. (For my server anyway)
Republic has the community, but stink at PvP. The people I want to play with are there, but the class I want to play as is in the Empire.
The Empire have no community, nobody talks to anyone else, general chat is quiet most of the day. The class I want to play is here, but the people I want to play are in the Republic.
Sucks to be me.
