Just as promised recently, Dulfy has some statistical data on US know which PvP server to , how many people are on your PvP server or what the server balance is between factions on your server then this data will help you out.
From Dulfy:
Thereare only 44 PVP/RP-PVP servers so the data collection took a bit shorter, butit got delayed by a day cuz I didn’t know typing “fleet” and”the fleet” in the who list window give different results – I wastyping in “the fleet” after typing in all the warzones – “thepit, the civil war, the voidstar etc” – this gave much lower numbers (atfirst I thought it was cuz the players on PvP servers are less “lazy”and don’t sit around on the fleet as much hehe). I had to erase all the dataand start over.
7planets and 3 warzones + fleet were used. Warzone data is a bit weird sometimesas people enter/exit warzones constantly and the 30secs-1 minute time I need toswitch characters can cause some odd (uneven) ratios. But as suspected -Imperial players play alot more Huttball (the pit) than Republic players.
Sadly,it does seem that there is a higher Imperial/Republic ratio on PVP servers – acombined ratio of 1.84 comparedto 1.22 for PVE servers.
Ijust want to emphasize it again that this is cross-sectional/(snapsnot in time)population data and it is a representation of theactual population data. This is what anyone who wanted to go around serversmaking connections to Bioware.
