lol

i'm still on the fence but may go templar since I'm pretty sure they will be the underdogs on most servers

Dragon.

The Templars have the rich history and lore. That's what draws me to them. I tend to like kicking it Old School.

Split on the vote here is seeming around what I expect.  About 40-50% Illuminati, rest of us split between other two.  Just hope it gets closer to 33/33/33 than I expect.

Dragon... I was born on the year of the dragon.

I played the weekend beta for the first time and I saw mostly Templars when I played, followed by Dragon, then Illuminati.

My first thought was to go Templars -- so I didn't play one in beta -- but I don't want to play in an overwhelming majority. Of course, a couple days observation during beta play doesn't mean much.  My observations don't match the results of this survey so far.

I initially chose Dragon in the darkdaysarecoming forums, but I saw quite a few characters based on Anime in the beta.  I really don't think that fits in the game, but it's their choice, not mine.  I just know I won't fit in with the Dragon.

Going Templar here, I like their lore and history. Can't wait for this weekend!!!!!

Templars.   it's in my blood.

Templar for me as i am irl most close in line wth that mentality overall. Yet i lvoe that really the population of each faction really will have such a small degree of influence on much f the game, as in pvp you can group outside yoru faction,  and in most pvp i am guessing we will see alot of work to keep the sides pretty balanced in population allowences in the warzones or such. I mean right now it looks like warzones will allow for a 75 on 75 on 75 fight, which any server should be able to muster, and this will most likely rise or fall based on server faction pop densities (i hope.). The Bgs are well bgs so insuring that the sides are within a small degree of difference in numbers is normal for most mmos with them.

From the devs on the official forums the population is very close all within 1-5% of each other, which looks nicely balanced.

Templar.

Skill-deck outfits look the best, imo.

I'm undecided :( I've been a dragon for 5-6 months on the forums and a dragon throughout the secret War... I planned to roll Dragon at launch so I rolled Tepms in beta... Now I... I... Ilike the temps!

This is good to hear of the projected, as well as the present forum population levels, but as even wow shows knowing how the pop will pane out is not easy. The forums might show a 1-5% difference now, and then the launch hits and we see that number stay true for two fo the tree, but the third gets a huge population difference compared to the others (i am thinking 10@ or so.). So till launch i would rather not base much off forum numbers, or beta as people never play what they normally are going to in launch in beta and such.

I enjoyed the Illuminati the most I believe, which I played most of last weekend.  Got enough of the Templars during the first beta event.  I followed the Grifter deck but only got two 'turrets'.  They were fun though :D

I would only actually switch to lummies for the BH deck, the outfit looks sweet. That said I know I can make my own Templar BH deck just wonder what that outfit will turn out to be.
