== Content ==
			
I really, really REALLY want to roll Dominion but from what I have seen in starter zones the population just seems so dead and non-conversational.
 
How are you guys doing? Is it lively later on, I mean, the Exile starting zones are filled with chat and people helping out for group quests, hell even the advice channel seems dead on Dominion, is it really that bad for you guys?
 
What about the housing channel, any luck there? I really don't want to go Dominion and level up if it's just a barren wasteland....

It's fine. There are people *everywhere* on Dominion side. I farm Discoveries in Deradune, Ellevar and Auroria (levels 6-22 zones) all the time, at every hour, and there are always people out there.
 
Don't let pre-F2P noise bother you. Illium is packed, there are guilds a-plenty for every possible activity and Housing chat is almost always hopping.
 
Just because you don't hear anyone babbling in /zone doesn't mean there aren't people out there.
 
EDIT: That said, much like the Exiles, there are way, way more people on during prime time than say, mornings or mittle of the night. Also, I have noticed that the banter in /zone chat is much less chatty Dom-side. It's not that there aren't people or even people talking, it's just ... quieter.

			Ok, what about questing? Is it easy to get people for group quests?

Initially it was looking pretty crowded, but has slowed down considerably. It's possible that shade's eve chased some of them away from Illium- we'll see if any of them come back now that it's over.
 
If anything, I think it's a two-fold problem you are seeing- first, many people's perception of the factions makes them choose Exile first, becasue they view Dominion as the bad guys...second, many of the same players probably end up rolling Domi toons later, but when they do they don't need the advice as badly, so they chat less.
 
Personally, I really like being Dominion...and also, sometimes less crowds and random chatter is a good thing in games like this ;)

Department 13. It's in my sig. I'm heading out the door for home right now. I should be on by 4PM CST, give or take a few minutes.
 
Add "Lana Kaine" (that's me) to your Friends List. I'll send you an invite when I get to the house. :)

			I don't know if I'll be on then but I'll add you when I make my character. Can I ask a couple questions? Is the guild talkative and friendly? You may guess by now that conversation is my big thing...

			It's them damn bunnies fault! Chuas weren't cute enough! *glares at Wild Star devs*

Yes, exiles have more players, with more players, more people will talk.  and yeah, seems like more new players choose exile first (Hey, I did...)
 
Dominion is still hopping though, and it's still pretty easy to get things done.  I'll see LFM and zone chat erupt all the time during prime time, and people are very vocal about WB groups and what not. 
 
I guess overall people on dominion like to keep to themselves and their guilds mostly.  I can be pretty quiet at times, but if the right conversation pops up I'm happy to chat away.

			E-1 is fine, E-2 is a ghost town.  I play on E-2 anyway since I mostly solo and it's lag free though.

			Yeah, but right now it is also a bit easier to level. So people are moving on to other content faster and there aren't as many people hanging out in the starter areas as it was right after F2P launch.
