			just wondering if I should waste my time playing dominion? Is there enough players to do dungeons? Before f2p I tried it and it was impossible to get a dungeon queue to pop at low level. Is it still the same?	
----
			
no matter what faction you will most likely not get any low level queue pops.  Unless you form your group yourself the old fashioned way.  while the dominions are the lower pop faction, at max level there is nothing impacted by this.  queues pop for dungeons and bgs regularly, adventures not so much but that has nothing to do with population.  I have been on dominion since launch and while there are fewer players it has not had an impact on what content i could play.
 
or you could make an exile toon and a dommie toon and see for yourself.

Like foul wind said, it's hard to get lowlvl queues of any kind to pop these days.
Otherwise, dominion got chuas, might be worth giving it a try because of that?=)
I like being a dominion and playing chua :P However I do cheat and have an aurin alt, and I plan to level her up as well :P
So roll on one side, or roll on both sides... but you know... chuas :D

Yea, Dominion being the underdog is mostly going to affect your chances of getting a good fit for guilds and stuff. Which isn't to say you can't find one on Dom side, but Exile probably has like, twice the number.
 
If you're a person who likes high pop realms, go Exile cause that's as close as you'll get to one. If you're a person who doesn't care or likes the smaller fish bowl, go Dominion.

			yes join dominion! exile scum will be eradicated!

On Entity there's essentially no difference in terms of getting content done between Exiles and Dom. Exiles have a slight pop advantage but Dom shows up to everything, runs dungeons (vets) frequently, etc. etc. etc. 
 
At least, I've never had a problem since F2P with any content I've wanted to do, and can pretty much always hop on the WB train, knock out contracts, do world events, etc.

I play both factions on Entity, there is a difference but you will not be "wasting" your time if you choose one or the other.
 
There is more population on Exile, and the progression is quicker: I see raid groups advertising Avatus (second tier raid end boss) daily.  I could not believe my eyes when I saw this - seriously I freaked out.  Dominion is behind the curve there, but getting a group to clear GA (first tier raid) is very common.  Either side, you'll see raids aplenty if you want.  There are top-tier progression guilds wanting players on both sides, if raiding is what you want to do.
 
As for dungeons: I am leveling a Granok warrior and despite the higher population on Exile, you will still be waiting a long time for queue pops while leveling.  At max level it will pop faster for Exiles, but both sides you can still get your dungeons done.
 
The big thing: Join a friendly guild, make friends, and either side will work for you!  I have met wonderful people on both sides, and hope you have the same luck!
 
And play what you like best :)

I honestly like the dominion-only housing decor and aesthetics better than exile.  And I prefer the music.  And I generally like the races more.  The capital is well laid out with very few "mazes" if at all.  The Drusera portal, the Enigma chamber and the museum are all pretty close together near to the zone portals.  
 
If you get sucked into housing, try to at least make an alt up to 14 on your non-main side so you can visit the other side's houses.  The housing community is really a neutral faction all of our own :)

			Thanks for the responses. I have a 50 exile and am now gonna try a dominion Staker, I wish chua could be stalkers :(. Also is there any way i can transfer money or items between factions and is there a paid option to switch factions, if I wanted to move my 50 exile to Dom.?

			Good to know my imperial warrior isn't going to be so alone when reaching 50.

To answer your questions, Linaphor:
 
- You can transfer some items fairly easily, so long as you can post them on the AH. Work with a friend via skype/voicechat/whatever and coordinate so that they list something (for like 1c) and you purchase it immediately. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for the CX. :\ Because lame. Theoretically you could transfer money just by listing something for a very high price and then buying it on the character with the funds, but you'll have to eat the AH cut.
- There's currently no paid faction transfer option.

Dominion is less populated but we can still get things going.  Lots of guilds to choose from still and lots of friendly people. 
 
Also we're cuter :>	
----
			
With my experience with the Dominion side, I will say no.
 
But the things (up to level 25) is worth seeing so I say go for it if you want to see a different perspective.	
----
			I'd love to run up some Dominion characters but while there's an unnecessary faction wall I wont be doing that!	
----
			Even if there were no other Dominion players, the faction is still worth playing, because female draken are the best character option in the game.

Step 1) Play Dominion
Step 2) More people play Dominion
Step 3) Population rises, nobody remembers why people wouldn't play dominion in the first place

			Thayd is more alive than Illium, it may look better and orderly but it does make it less realistic.
