Star Wars Dark Side numbers

[zootner]

I was just looking over some of the better sites out there for this game like TORHead.com and Darthhater.com to research stuff for my IA build, and I came across some numbers that really stood out.

The Dark Side Imperial players are outnumbering the Republic by 3-1 on almost all the servers. Did we pick the wrong side? If there is one thing I hate, it's being aligned with the noob 733t D00d masses. That's why we were evil in EQ and I played Horde in WoW. Those were the outnumbered, better players.

I thought all of the kiddie slapdicks would want to be a Jedi... but now I think they all want to be Boba Fett and Darth Maul. If that's the case we may be making Han Solo and Leia alts faster than you think.

I'm not surprised by this.

In "our" movies, it was cool to be good. Han, Luke, Leia, etc.

In those other movies, Darth Maul and his light saber staff was the cool thing.

Personally, I don't have any particular strong feeling about which side to play and will just go with the flow.

I agree. I am definitely not opposed to switching sides. I actually got to play around with a couple of the republic classes and enjoyed them, with one exception being the jedi consular. All the dark and light side options on that build were so goody-goody it made me want to puke. But other than that they were pretty enjoyable.

I think Hael is right. "Our movies", yep, Luke and Han was the shit. I'm going to make a Han then... and I want a goddamned wookie for a side kick... And the Millenium Falcon.... my precious!

Why weren't Wookies added as a playable race? I totally would have rolled a wookie!
