I'd pay double to play on a server with no stupid names (I value immersion and your idiotically named avatars are ruinging it) and immediate removal of immature players (lots of room for interpretation here but anyone who does your momma jokes (or lack thereof) in general chat, or has an e-seizure f-bombing everyone, and so on)
If removal of brats was possible, the empire would suddenly have even less players than the republic.
Hard mode: Play Republic
Nightmare mode: Play Republic on a pvp server
Are you man enough for the challenge ? Aunt Satele wants YOU.
Republic. No kids allowed.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Well thats a lie I actually get faster queue times on my Empire characters. Sure it might be Huttball but thats still PvP and its better than sitting around crafting in Fleet and waiting for queues to pop.

Every day the number of Republic in Fleet dwindles down on my server. Used to be 200 in Fleet when I started now hardly over 100. People are rerolling in droves because finding raiding guilds is impossible hell even finding normal FP groups is near impossible. Theres never mats, schematics, or a good supply of gear/mods on the GTN and stuff that sells like hotcakes on Empire side never sells at all on Republic cause theres no one to buy it. Also I go to Imperial Fleet and its full of chat for people forming groups of all levels even EV groups. Then go to Republic Fleet and /Crickets.

Is BioWare ever going to fix this crap or is this game intended to be a single faction game?
my guild / real life friends went republic. i got a JK to lv 32 and i just couldnt take it anymore. I played a SI to lv 20 and the story was way better the game over all was more fun. i dunno, as of now i canceled my sub and waiting for it to tick down.

Your right Empire is way better.

The only reason to go republic is cause of trooper assault cannon .

Well it did work for me , no matter how bad the republic story line is , even more so the green rewards near the end to rub it in ..

The assault cannon make me smile , now give armor mods, cause the freaking gear is ugly like hell !!

Helmet columni that looks like a paper mask ?
Seriously !!!

All those small stuff don't help the republic cause , if assault cannon was available to the bounty hunter , i would go back in no time !!

Honestly, one thing completely sold me on never returning to the Republic. While I ended up not playing a sorc, I realized that the sorc:

...wears dark robes and slings lightning.

The sage?

Dressed like a homeless bum who throws GARBAGE at people.

So now, all I see are dirty transients flinging trash and other unmentionable things at my juggernaut.

I totaly agree OP.

started 3 classes in the republic before going to the empire :

- Jedi consular untill level 17 : Oh man is this story boring as hell. Politics anyone? No thanks. Story might get a kick after a while but the beginning is just way to slow.

- Trooper untill level 12 : /salute ? get used it in this story. I understand that they are soldiers, but man they are just to many stereotypes there. We've seen this stuff in many other games. Not very interesting.

- Jedi Knight level 25 : Probably the only good storyline. But that was about it.


On empire side :

- Got a BH to level 50 : Not going to spoil, but i LOVED the story for this class. And man the BH those things in style.

- Assassin level 20 : Want to learn more about ancient sith legends? Explore tombs? Discover the sith origins? This is the bus to take.

- Sith warrior level 12 : haven't played much but so far , i like it better than the JK so...


And of course, there is the end-game gear: My Jedi knight looking dressed in a yellow samurai costume from the power rangers series. Seriously?

Republic is really not that cool.

Agreed 100%, Republic population needs something done about it. There are hardly 30 people on in the Fleet Station at prime time on Kathol Rift... It's very sad.
