Guardian, because my wife said so! She was tired of, to quote her, 'tribal crap' and wanted to play on the 'good' side. I know, but FOR THE HORD err GUARDIANS!
Guardians being the good guys is a common misconception, there is no good or bad just different ideologies.
guardians are religious & believe the gods will save them & believe the defiants are heretics.
Defiants put there faith in their technology & science & having an open mind towards that sort of thing.
Im rolling Defiant because I dont like the whole guardian holier than thou vibe I get from them, & I would always put my money on science any day (dont wana have a science vs religion discussion, would rather poke my eyes out with blunt pencil, just saying is all).
I know what you are getting at, they are just different sides. Each with their own appeal and disgust. My wife said they are the 'good' side and I say yes dear, it is your turn to choose the faction (<-- well trained husband and this was not worth turning into a debate)
Definitely the Guardians. I love the Guardian zones and lore. Also, man, you Defiants couldn't PVP yourselves out of a wet paper bag during the past beta :P

...all that built up rage from whipped husbands holding wives' handbags in the mall...oh yeah, Guardians FTW.
I liked the lore as well, the Boar Spear story on the Rift site was good. Shows that not all ascended guardians were brought back because of their virtue...wait, where did I hear that? hmmm
I'm excited about the game and it looks like the community will be great...thanks for the replies!
My choice has nothing to do with the religious beliefs or politics of each side.
I simply prefer the Defiant areas. Freemarch is so much nicer than that ugly fairy forest.
Yes. I prefer the landscape in the Defiant areas I've seen so far. The only thing that makes me hesitate is I've read that a lot more people are expected to play the Defiant side leading to an unbalanced population. I've played both sides with various characters in beta and it does seem that it's been a lot quicker to join a warfront from the Guardian side than Defiant. I only joined a few warfronts last weekend while playing a Guardian cleric but it was available virtually instanty each time, even in the morning and middle of the night.
So, I'll probably roll a Guardian first but then try a Defiant alt later.
Guardian. Because I want my gaming experince to flow effortlessly and with the lower pop I will have less quest mongering and faster PVP queue times.
Plus I can tell the difference between reality and a fantasy computer game and don't feel those who are choosing guardians are siding with the 'christians/muslims/buddist/and other type of religion'.

For the whipped husbands and boyfriends!
Haha fair enough! I prefer the guardian main city, starting area, & mounts tbh
Guardian for me. I am frequently playing those "monster" type of characters, and this time I'd thought I would switch it up and play a boring old "human" type character. Plus, for some reason I just wasn't liking the defiant starter area or the next area (sorry don't remember the name, its parallel to silverwood). I kind of view Guardian as the "bad" side for some reason or another lol.
Defiant initially because that's what my Guild has decided on.
Anyone know whether there will be restrictions as to what factions you can play... if you already have a character on a server? (Aion for example, you could only have one character faction type per server).
If there are none, I will probably eventually have both Guardian and Defiant.

Guardia because I like to play on the less populated side. That being said defiant is by far the better side to start on.

Once you go Star Trek Prostitue you never go back.
Just make sure you get the right "blue" or "green" for the hair.

Guardian. I prefer the storyline/lore of the Guardians.
Guardian simply because my guild is rolling Guardian. I will have a Defiant, though, to explore their zones and storyline(s).
Dwarf powah !
Guardian, because i really like the somewhat fairytale atmosphere in their villages.
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
ill roll Defiant, to feel the power when ganking christians... erm guardians
Both sides.
Defiant.
All Defiant heretics shall be PURGED with Holy Fire; no heathen shall escape!
Err.. yeah... I'll be a Guardian for sure.
Flithy Defiants with their evil constructions.

I'm going to make a character on both sides, and the side I like the story most of and get more online friends I'd probably stick with.
-I want a Platformer MMO
Leaning towards Defiant.
However I am going to spend the next beta on Guardian side in order to better decide (and test things I haven't yet).
So I won't be sure until afterwards.
Exactly why I'm rolling Guardian as well.
A Requiem For Argos, now available at e-book retailers.

Both, because I don't see the point in not experiencing the quests and dungeons on both sides.
Defiant initially because that's what my Guild has decided on.

You can play the other sides Dungeon.
Anyway Guardian for me.
I think Defiant will be overcrowded but my dungu guild won't listen. They insist on rolling Defiant. I hate this but I have no choice Defiant I guess.
