It really boils down to what you, as a person, enjoy. I started an IA because I read on the forums the story was interesting. I'm picking light and dark side choices based on how I feel about the particular situation, so right now I am more light than dark. I am not really getting in to the IA story as much as I did with my smugglers story, but I am also only on Balmorra and it's been okay so far. Out of the SW and JK story lines, I think the SW is more interesting but I didn't really dig playing either class that much. Between BH and Trooper, I like the trooper better. I just enjoy playing that class more as well as the story. SI and JC, I really like the SI a lot more than the JC, the JC just seemed more boring to me. Also, Khem Val is really cool. So my ranks, based on my personal preferences in terms of class and story are as follows: Smuggler Trooper IA SI BH SW/JK (feel about the same with these) JC Also, I really just enjoy playing republic side more than imperial side. NPCs are just so mean on the imperial side , sometimes I just want to hug a Sith and tell them that it will be okay.

I pretty much agree with you. I also enjoy the interactions you can have with your companions...*ahem* especially Corso. I wish they got a bit more dialogue once you hit higher levels but I'm sure they will probably include more with eventual patches and what not. I am also excited about what the legacy system will bring.

I am having the same issue with Whitebeam run, once I hit the higher level planets there were consistently fewer and fewer people. I am on Hoth right now stuck with four 4 person heroics and no one to do them with, even on Saturday when I played for 4 hours straight there were never more than 5 people there, none of whom wanted to do heroics. Balmorra was even worse and thank god there are no heroics on Quesh because I would have been SOL.... So now at level 40 I am bored, it's super lonely on this server and it makes me a sad panda, and re-rolling is a PITA especially after having invested so much of my time into this character. However, if transfers are not going to be available for months to come then I might as well, it's just a bit of a bummer.

I agree completely. I would love to transfer to a higher population server, I am stuck trying to finish three 4 person heroics on Balmorra because it seems like there are only ever 14 people on that planet at a time and none of them want to do heroics lol...and I am a healer even.

I love having Corso as a companion, it feels a little like I am actually playing with someone else but without any back talk . Sad I know, but all my friends chose empire and I really like the Jedi and smugglers.

When do you get the first romance dialogue? Is it based on the amount of affection you have with him or where you are in the class quest line, or level?
