djwhitfield Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (Adults only convosation) Hello everyone. Before I being I just want everyone to know that I am here for polite, contructive convosation. I know there is bound to be the immature people who think there ace and gonna start posting aload of insults and stupidly childish messages. Therefore I will ignore them if it happens. Anyway I just wanted to say I am a Republic Vanguard Trooper at level 47 at this moment in time. I also have some Sith characters on another servers too. I love both the factions. But what I played of the Empire the servers were very lively and people were all over, very nice thing to see. However on my Republic character I played 47 levels and ALL of the places I have been to have been dead. During peek times my server says "Very Heavy" or "Full". I desided to expeniment and created a Empire character on the same server and all the Empire places were packed full of players. I came to the concultion that everyone just wants to play as the Empire and the server population on all the servers are mostly the Empire. I do understand the game is young and that there still needs to be more players joining the server and creating characters. But do you think theres anyway what so ever do try even out the Ratio of players for each side? Because I do feel lonely playing as the Republic at the moment. In the Republic Fleet there are usually 100 people in peek time, and in Empire Fleet there are usually 300 + another 2 Instances full. I hope everyone else who plays Republic also understands my concern. Thank you for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZinLae Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This was a discussion several times in the past. But it was pure speculation then. It was highly anticipated that, at launch, the game would be Empire heavy. People are just excited about it that's all. I know I am. The story of the Republic has always been openly around us so people are exploring the other side. It's really nothing to worry about though. As time goes on the factions will balance out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As time goes on the factions will balance out I never on the forums, so I never seen pervious discussions of this topic. I really do hope what you say is true. I guess am just a little worryed thats all because I am hoping this game will grow to be on the same scale as WoW someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocNessMonster Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Keep in mind that most of this game is about story. Many now Empire players will eventually roll a Republic to experience another story in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpsStranger Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It really does need to be addressed, but there's no easy way to do it. I had offered a constructive solution here. It's the only realistic option, but I think it would be viewed as unfair favoritism. Read and see what you think. Bump it while you're there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkanon Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Noticing the same thing on my server. High Empire, low Republic. All i have to say is: Republic enjoy your instant pvp que's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where i think you went wrong. I don't know how your server is and this might be the case in there, but making assumption based on only one server does not make it so in ALL the other servers. I too have read that we are actually quite well balanced at the moment so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got characters made for both factions but I've been enjoying my time with the Empire atm. Things should start to level out just a bit between late January and late February. That should give some people time to play through and decide if they wanna continue playing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthlessboy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've checked over a dozen servers and the trend holds (at least for PvP servers.) Might be and tbh i haven't made any research myself, but i have read from many unofficial but reliable sources that we should be quite balanced. Ofcourse it just might be the overall population and the pvp servers might be unbalanced. Maybe pve has more republic than empire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briljin Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Keep in mind that most of this game is about story. Many now Empire players will eventually roll a Republic to experience another story in game. And you don't think that Republic players won't re-roll Empire for the same reason? Sorry but hoping that down the road the players will attain a balanced faction is going to leave you with nothing but total failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathaia Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Noticing the same thing on my server. High Empire, low Republic. All i have to say is: Republic enjoy your instant pvp que's! ...and not having to play Huttball all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graburr Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sorry but hoping that down the road the players will attain a balanced faction is going to leave you with nothing but total failure. yeah, 2 faction games have always been unbalanced, and especially pvp servers are usually "evil" side heavy.
