Curse

Can you choose Canthan as you faction of choice? I didn't see it in my hero window, so I'm assuming not. Did anyone see an area specifically devouted to Canthan in the FPE (eg. just as the Jade Sea is Luxon and the Petrified Forest is Kurzick)?

One thing I'm noticing with this thread (I started it), is that people are tending to stereotype one side or the other. Personally I'm leaning toward Kurzick, but not because I think Luxons are evil (or hippies as someone previously noted), but rather I like the atmosphere of the Kurzick areas better. I'm not religous (I believe in a god, but not in worshiping him), and I'm definetly not a Goth. Maybe after a while of playing, the Kurzick 'wow' factor will die out, and I will play Luxon for a while. Regardless, people need to take a chill pill, just relax and enjoy the game. I actually saw in the House Of ??? (Kurzick home town) people getting into heated debates over which side is 'better', which always ended in 'u nuubs dont know anything'. (and that was just the first weekend!). People need to realize that Anet designed this game so that both sides were 'balanced' (yea there might be equality issues, but give them a break, it was the first weekend, and I'm sure everything will be fixed). If you want to get into the game through role-playing and take to a side and swear by it/ against the other for whatever reason, that is totally cool, but remember that once your done playing, its only a game, and whichever side a person chooses does not really indicate his or her personality in the real life. Have fun!

Sadly, the only thing stopping me from choosing a side anymore is I like the visuals in both sides. The locales and the armor.

I will stick with the Luxons. I haven't done there quests, due to cell phone problems and not enough time, but I will be on there side.

how does guild allegiance work? If your guids goes kurzick but you wanna go luxon, what happens?

It's all an illusion

My friends, guild and I switches both sides fighting, keeping score and counting the wins
There's almost no difference between either side, the only thing that happens is that 1 side will gain an advantage of say +10 wins for a few hours, then it bounces back to the other side
Of course it'll seem like 1 side is better if you're only 1 person

Besides all you need to do to switch sides is lower your faction
In fact I don't see how sides even matter

it was said that your guild's faction side and individual player side will be separate. meaning that even if your
leader picked Luxon, you could still get Kurzick pts and have access to their npcs(armor/merchant.etc.)

the factions pts are account based.
the importance of allegiance would be more towards who "controls and gets access" to territory/outposts/towns/etc.

On topic: From FPE, I enjoyed both sides. Changed my mind from "going Kurzick all the way". So, I will start Luxon to see the new things (that werent included during the FPE) and still end with the Kurzick side. xD.

My guild is Kurzick, so I am Kurzick. Kurzick has cooler armor anyway.

However, I am not on good terms with Kurzick right now because I did that "Destroy the Kurzicks" quest. >.>;;;

Like those stupid turtles are gonna save you, freakin pirates. You just wait till us Kurzicks come storming across the Jade Sea. Nice and slow and gloomy like, of course. With our awesome hats. Kurzick NPC hats > anything Luxons have to offer.

Luxon, I had no choice really. It was my idea to join a Aus/NZ guild... didn't think about what side they were until after i joined... *sigh* I'm going to take my rage on some Kurzichs now...
