When i made my guild last month, PVP, East coast, there was about 7200 empire guilds VS 4400 alliance guilds...
Light side of the force
Dark side of the force
Don`t care -> Chosing the contrary to what census will reveal
I'm guessing Empire will outnumber Republic by as much as 2:1.
I would rather play an Empire character who does good deeds instead of a Republic character who does bad deeds.
Just saying:

It's not going to be that fair of an assessment working on those numbers. A great many people are waiting for guilds, and a HUGE number of guilds on the site will not be guilds because they only have 1 or 2 people in them, and they don't meet the 4 preorder criteria.

My God, what a horrible creation. People seeing what they want? Thank God they tried to shy away from that. I know it pisses me off when I'm in an heroic raid, yet in the back of my head all I can think is 'some casual player is playing a heroic dungeon and not wiping.' -Vodkarn

- I wonder if it's near the Injured Cliffs? Or the Limping Hills? Massive-Head-Trauma-Bay? No? Just me? *sigh* Forget I said anything.
Honestly the fact that you can't use force lightning on the light side is the only reason I'll play empire but still choose the "light side path". When it comes down to the choice of shooting lightning bolts or throwing rocks the choice is clear.
Also if you ever watch videos of the Beta you almost always see people picking the dark side choices in conversations. I honestly expect a huge population of empire over republic.

Making a Shadow anyway, might make an imperial of some sort if enough of my friends want our playgroup to be empire.
In these kinds of games, I pretty much design the character with a personality in mind and just choose the story based on that. My Inquisitor is a complete snarky dickhead. Not just an asshole, a super condescending, callous, sarcastic SOB, so I can assume he'll be racking up dark side points like crazy. As for my other characters, we'll have to see.
BTW didn't vote in the poll as it's confusing (and probably already has skewed results due to people not understanding the options).

Just look at the signatures in this poll. How many people have Empire signatures compared to Republic? That should give you an idea of the balance.
False logic. That would be trying to construct an entire games worth of players from a very small percentage of players on a non-SWTOR focused webpage. Hell even based on the main SWTOR site it would be fairly impossible to gauge due to even those polls containing barely 10% of the population. I believe it'll balance out over the entire game. Some servers will probably have a slight advantage on one side or the other, but I think with Bioware's plans on assigning premade guilds to certain servers it should be decently balanced.

Knock it off guys.
Also, there are polls about this already, both faction and alignment, so I'm closing this.
