Xerda Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I intend to play both sides till I decide what I want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuruChaz Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It all started when the "evil faction" was the side that was always underpopulated on MMO servers. Bioware needs to make sure the servers get as close to a 50/50 balance of faction as people load up on them...and they probably are trying to do that.

entropyrl Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I am playing sith for a couple reason , but main one is my friends are, but I am glad, I wanted to be sith as well. I am a boring 36 year old male, who follows all the laws, most of the rules, dont smoke, dont drink or do drugs. Pretty boring, so I guess I need to live on the edge in a computer game.... yay me.

Sweeet Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's more to do with the fact that bad guys are glorified within movies and television programs nowadays. You only have to catch a glimpse of EastEnders to see how bad it's got. That show is all about suffering and and yet people relish in it. It's a part of the human condition many people have evolved past, yet there are millions out there who still think this kind of behaviour is acceptable. Game's like this allow people to be bad and get away with it too, but it's mainly because people are under the delusion that being bad is "cool". I feel sorry for those people.

SacredStorm Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Friends are on the dark side so I will too. Although I will have a republic character for my personal use. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viareggio Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I laugh at anyone who claims that empire is evil... I personally feel more at place with the empire, than the republic(not jaded by the view the movies give us of the empire) "Then you are really lost" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxeX Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 My main will be Republic, because while the Empire's cookies are tempting, they don't have Miralukas But I'll be playing both sides thanks to alts anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seravie Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 People claiming sith aren't evil are as delusional as the sith themselves. Anyone who believes that the weak should die = evil = sith philosophy.While those on the jedi side have to protect the weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally feel more at place with the empire, than the republic(not jaded by the view the movies give us of the empire) Uhhh, this isn't the Empire from the movies, the one that quietly subsumed the fairly progressive republic. The Sith Empire we're discussing kills all republic forces when they conquer a world even if they surrender, then go on to massacre any of the population who do not swear allegiance to the Sith Empire and enslave most of the ones who do. Those slaves are considered a disposable labour source, with no rights whatsoever. Their blood and death fuels our Empire's war machine to keep conquering and subjugating more worlds. All force-sensitives in Empire space must be sent to Korriban for training and Sith indoctrination, despite the harshness and high mortality rate of said program, regardless of the individual's age, ability or psychological suitability for said training - for many this is basically a death sentence as they lack the strength in the force or the ruthlessness to survive there. If they refuse to go, or if their family refuse to let them be taken (in the case of young children) they are killed. In short, we are not nice people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorrick Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It has nothing to do with movies or how people think they or which side has this or that. An stating that it's more fun to be good then bad. Obviously that's not the case since you can be evil or good on either side. I personally believe it has to do with change in social nature in last 5 or so years. When star wars galaxies first came out and many other MMO's with it the "good" side was always largely favored. I mean this game has a serious amount of ex-SWG players(which is great). Maybe 2 years ago every MMO was about 2-1 in favor of the "good" side. Maybe because this is a new game for a lotta people they don't want to play the good guys again. Some people wanting a complete change is more relative. I also think that you can't really get a good view of how population of factions will be til about month in after release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we really are a race that will convert or kill every living being. Less of the holy half-dead thing, though - we'd rather revel in life.

That's like asking Gaddafi "Are elections better than having a tyrant leader for decades?" My point being, Yoda, who is a jedi, is not going to turn around and say "Dark Side is really fun mmmkay." Simply because he follows the light path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most people let their view of the empire be formed by the movies, by the empire represented in those movies...getting it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
