    Thats the single best reason IMO :)

    This reason is the best, I agree.

    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.

    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.

    "you are like the world revenge on sarcasm, you know that?"

    One of those great lines from The Secret World

    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.

    You've made my day ))))) I want to shoot lightning at the devs every time I can't choose the PvP battleground and is forced to play Huttball (often against my guildmates, as we are one of the largest guilds on the server, which makes the whole idea of PvP guild comedious).

    actually, if you never played an Imperial Agent in SWTOR, you missed the story ;)

    Not true, my female agent banged the guy who accused her of not being who she was pretending to be (the red flame) just to shut him up. My male agent just shot him, he's saving himself for Kaliyo.

    One fairly good reason not to roll Republic is rather too many so called 'mirrored' skill actually favour the Imperials. It's mostly down to different animations and some appear to be out and ot bugs (shorter cooldowns for example). Perhaps not that big a deal ...unless you are a PvPer I suppose.

    The only reason it takes that short a time is because you rushed to the top. My main toon is only level 36. I play 4 hours or more a night. All my other toons are level 1. So here's a idea, play the game and get over it. Stop trying to get to cap as fast as possible.

    Keep telling yourself that. Maybe some day it will be true. Right now? Not a chance. Right now, it's all in your head.

    Good sides win? You mean the terrorist? Why do games always portray terrorist as good side? And mass media as evil?
