Adventure, Excitement... A Jedi craves not these things.

Gamers, on the other hand...

My main is an Agent. Empire is interesting, because they aren't necessarily villains, just people trying to bring order to a filthy galaxy. :P

Sith is another matter, and I'm not sure what appeals to people there. They seem silly to me-- like Snidely Whiplash. Just evil for evil's sake, even when it isn't practical.

You do realize that the agent you play is just a lap dog to these sith lords who are evil for evils sake? They are your rulers that can do whatever they want without repercussions.

Honestly the guild chose empire. It doesn't appeal that much to me, although I enjoyed my light side agent's story a whole lot. I never really enjoyed being the bad guy.

So good PvPers want to team with other good PvPers for the... challenge?... of taking on people they presume are poor PvPers?

How sporting of you! It takes guts to join the overdog.

Id be a bad guy in real life but my wife would whoop my a**.

Yay for pixelated replacements for galaxywide(or at least 3 or 4 house) homicidal rampages fueled by narcisism and vani.......

Should probably stop there.........

I don't feel like being a good guy makes for a good story, I don't know. I tried playing some repubs but I just can't do it for more than a couple of hours.

I have Republic characters. But I do have an Imperial Agent alt. Why? Because I heard the story is really good!

That is it, otherwise I would be straight Republic.

Bounty Hunter gets a Jawa companion.

That's all the reason you need.

Interestingly, my friends and I consider this the best reason to join Empire. We went Republic purely due to pop balance issues, but still.

*sigh* Honestly, I would've had a good time being Empire as well, but somebody has to make sure this is still a two-sided conflict.
