Dreadicus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) 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.) Ahem, that didn't happen in WoW for years actually.. (Unless Alliance = Evil!) I was there on day 1, playing my undead warrior in PVP Lightning's Strike. That whole 0-60 was the toughest MMO lvling I ever did. Jerking around to see what's behind me, is now part of my MO in any MMO I play.. (Watch out, solo undead warrior leveling - quick 5 man party wipe him, camp his corpse, and talk &*&*$%$ Alliance players!) Guess now, Empire=Alliance? (Lawl!)

Roxefeller Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 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. I don't see what being an "individual" has anything to do with this... because in this situation, if one wanted to express their "individuality" they would choose Republic because clearly.. that's NOT what everyone else is doing.

ChuckThePug Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Same ole issue every MMO. The kids rush to the scary bad guy faction. Horde Destruction Villians Nothing new. Luckily I enjoy playing as the underdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazorous 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) From the sounds of it, you're playing for the Empire. So you are contributing to the "fiasco". Your blatant hypocritical opinions matter as much as the crap I flush every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renissara Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Don't worry I'm very very bad at PvP. If anything I'm probably dragging the Empire down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matte_Black Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I can maybe lend some credibility to Republic players if, they are getting overwhelmed but, the Imps are on some pretty weak ground. If you don't like your situation (especially if you are in the dominant side) be part of your own fix instead of whining over the problem you are part of. The premise seems to be that "Other players should fix it so I can have what I want.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhit Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Ahem, that didn't happen in WoW for years actually.. (Unless Alliance = Evil!) If you follow the Warcraft Lore--the Alliance are the bad guys. Greedy and bent on destruction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentential Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Look on the bright side those of us who had to deal with a 3 day queue can now laugh at empire who is going to be in queue a hell of a lot longer for warzones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmace Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 ALSO, Numbers aren't everything in PVP.. I've seen Shadows/Assassins take on multiple players at a time. Coordinate. Well it's not just that, it's that open world pvp in this game is a joke, so having one sides faction skewed doesn't matter. The main problem for the empire side I'm sure we'll be seeing on alot of servers is longer que times for warfronts however with the ratio being way off, with almost instant ques for republic.

Ghaiana Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) As I remember Star Wars from the 70's I could do only one thing and that was roll Empire. They are the real heroes. Edited December 15, 2011 by Ghaiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevinUp Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Going to play a Sith Inquisitor because of lightning period. Otherwise I would play Republic. They need to make the good guys cooler. This. Cooler spells. Cooler classes. Cooler ships. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarmless Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I do think, though, that the propensity for playing the "bad guy" faction arises from a desire to be alternative and to break the norms. People who play videogames are edgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waywardpaladin Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 @TheHarmless, for me it is more the Jedi Code is morally reprehensible to me. Enslaving species to the will of some bacteria living in your body, forgoing attachments and denying romantic love, taking children from their parents so they won't care 'too much about them.' The Sith code, at least the short version, doesn't necessitate you being evil and kicking puppies. You be true to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has happened in Warhammer, Aion, and WoW, just to name a few. (Although blood elves in WoW threw everything out of whack.) that never happened in Warhammer. What happened was that Mythic nerfed the hell out of destro and buffed Order likewise to try and "entice" people to play order. even today you can ask any veteran WAR player that is maining an order char and he will tell you the same "dude, I hate this side, but I prefer to play the OP side than the cool looking side" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
