faster PvP queue times

but a lot of people dislike PvP

.....paradox

Well your number one reason flops like a dead mackeral.  Spaceflight is a joke in this game and without it, Hans is a one legged dork.  

While I enjoyed SWTOR I have one reason "NOT" to play at all. SOPA

Until EA removes their support even indirectly from SOPA I won't subscribe.

Queue generic unfounded hate response #7827-G

Anyways...on my server the sides are actually pretty even.  Maybe even slighted towards Republic.  It is a RP server, probably why.  I have found that I actually enjoy the Republic stories a bit more for some odd reason.  I had been planning forever to play a Sith, but for one reason or another enjoy the other sides stories more.  The Smuggler story is pretty kick ass too.

LOL, HANS!!

I have three characters: a jedi knight (my main), a trooper, and an imperial agent. I'll admit that even as the agent I find myself habitually straying towards the ligher side during quests and dialogue (I made up a rough rp story of him being brainwashed as a child after a horrible accident to work for the empire which is why he's also a cyborg) but I also occasionally let my darker nature take over so he's probably more neutral than good.

Thats the single best reason IMO :)

This reason is the best, I agree.

This :D

Haha at the Hans remark, is that Hans Olo?

Uhm i never wanted to be han solo i always wanted to be held by han solo LOL it just took a few years for me to come out. This aside, it just reinforces what the naysayers have said about this game when they have an obvious imbalance with it. It's the same on other mmo's that have only two factions (yes yes i know the lore) and it's happening again unfortunately.

You don't have to listen to people talk about how hot Vett is non stop.

Oh joy, the Smuggler means playing through hamfisted Hamburger Helper writing.

except after 8pm (bedtime), then its mostly huttball.

Here's a good reason(tutorial spoiler)

If you play a Jedi knight u can break the Jedi Code and bang the Matron and she will give u a medal for a job well done:)))

BTW, for all class from both side only the bad boy Jedi knight seems to get sex in the tutorial.

Fem Agent gets an option to seduce a guy on Hutta to keep her identity secret, or she can just kill him.

Main reason for playing Imp for me, better storylines. Only the smuggler measures up on pub side.

The Republic are the good guys? Then how come when I was playing a Trooper in beta, every time I made a decision to side with the Republic, rather than some random raggedy-ass stranger, I got dark side points?

Haven't played any of the Republic lines yet, but you may want to consider the difference between lawful (adhere to society rules) and good (adhere to own moral compass).

I prefer playing the good guy and the underdog so it is fine for me. But the Imperial Agent is pretty awesome :)

Reason Number Six has to be the fact that you are not part of the zerg.

Reason Number Seven is that the designers like Empire more and play the Empire.

    Actually, if you look at what Xasapis said, it is very true.  For instance, taking stolen medicine away from children and returning it to the republic for the "troops" may be the lawful thing to do, but it is probably not the moral thing to do. 

Finally my interest in KoTOR is being peeked a bit.

the real reason's

1)they pay me

2) they pay me

3) they pay me

4) they pay me\

5) the check cleared.
