Mizarus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Basicly from what i have seen on several servers is that there is an Alarming number of players on the empire, i did a couple of /who's and got some really disturbinb numbers. on most servers the numbers of the Sith Inquistor players are higher then of all Jedi Classes combined. Roll repubilc guys, i want good competitive World PvP that dosent require BW to scale people atributes on those zones to make it up for it PS: you can be EVIL as an Jedi (this seems to be why people roll empire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I'll be a bad Jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novantco Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Bioware should of hyped the hell out of the Republic to help with this tbh. It was blatantly obvious that the Empire was going to outnumber them. I've already got a an Empire Guild that I'm waiting to play with (In the server queue atm) so sorry not rolling a Jedi.

Ashkael Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 In every faction based MMO ever, there has always been a strong initial influx of players to the "evil" side. Things even out after the first month, and eventually the "evil" side becomes terribly underpopulated compared to the overwhelming zerg on the "good" side. This has happened in Warhammer, Aion, and WoW, just to name a few. (Although blood elves in WoW threw everything out of whack.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning > Telepathy. YES, you CAN be an "Evil" Jedi... however, you are still on the side of the Republic. ALSO, Numbers aren't everything in PVP.. I've seen Shadows/Assassins take on multiple players at a time. Coordinate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think that the mature guys go Sith, and the kids go Republic. It's a self supporting spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a self supporting spiral. I also support/believe this theory to be true. Just think. As kids, what are we taught? Good triumphs over evil. So of course kids first instincts will be to roll Republic to be "Good" since they are depicted as the victors in the movies and that's what they can relate to.

Rabbitofdoom Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It might be also that a number of gaming communities for aldut or 16+ players decided to chose empire. My old wow guild 21+ is empire. My old rift guild 18+ same. Community i have chosen for my TOR gaming is 16+ and empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarmless Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Don't worry - I'm looking forward to rolling a harmless, goodie-two-shoes Jedi girl scout. Hopefully there's a few like-minded people out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So of course kids first instincts will be to roll Republic to be "Good" since they are depicted as the victors in the movies and that's what they can relate to. If the kids we are talking about are no older than eight, sure. However as any parent can tell you, a child approaching pre-teen and long after will always, always choose the 'evil' option whenever it is presented to them. As such the most immature minds will flood the 'evil' faction any time it is available to them. So you have the kids going Empire, the emo's going Empire, the early 20's kids still trying to be 'individuals' by all choosing Empire, and every jack-*** on the internet going Empire as well. Just based on the population of jack-***'s on the interwebs, that gives a notable numerical advantage of the Empire alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinRMcSinR Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 ANY game where you have multiple warring factions (Horde and Alliance, Elyos and Asmodian, etc) you will have servers that are unbalanced towards one faction. Deal with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
