East coast servers are going to be pretty dominantly sith populated in terms of PVP.

It's also worth keeping in mind that this only applies to world pvp and that things like battlegrounds or arenas (to use a WoW analogy) will be a strict x vs x ratio. Questing, gathering, exploring, and RPing might become a challenge at times but the pvp focuses will be the same all over.

This might even play into the Republic's favor since a larger pool of players means a better likely hood of facing fewer people who know what they are doing and a constant struggle to perform minor task may speed up the learning process for the Republic side.

Yeah im all to familiar with the WoW model of both world pvp and battleground pvp. hopefully we won't have the WoW model of world pvp and from the sounds of it unlikely.

yes battleground pvp (which was the only pvp that granted rewards until arenas became the dominant pvp) are more FPS esque maps that require small squad based strategies, but World PVP will be where players tend to have our RP based battles, towns (while not our main planets like coruscant, im sure sith will try to invade or take over smaller quest areas similar to the crossroads) and other areas of interest will be fought over.

there has been many requests for RPPVP servers on the forums, the old SWG starsider community actually did not form any guilds until this was confirmed (as well as the low number of enemies and allies) to ensure they picked a server to meet their needs. (starsider community consists of a sizable number of guilds though the numbers are probably small in comparison) there is a pretty high demand by RP guilds to have an RPPVP server.
