To OP: I just hope you are a fellow Republic player, and not just one more of the mass of Empire players who just realized that rolling the 'FOTM faction' will result in huttball and nothing else for you when it comes to WZs. Anakin/Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Boba Fett (the so called bad guys) have been always more interesting, popular, 'kewl' than any of the Republic side, especially with younger populations. Just look how many DarhtWhatever you can find on this forum. Some people might consider the jedi code/Republic 'code of conduct' as too restricting for playing as they want (damn, I am too old to play games at all and felt bad while trying to play a dark sided jedi only during beta:() whereas the bad guys can do what they want ... (ofc you can do it as Republic too). Sith inquisitor animations beat consular ones, BH looks cooler than Trooper (imo only ofc), but I'll stick to Republic as I didn't wanted to be limited to huttball alone when it comes to WZs, nor did I want to being unable to see anythnig because the areas are overcrowded. Ofc I plan to play at least all for classes on Empire side too, however, just for the story part and not planning to stick to them at all once done with it.
