Make new Jedi choose a faction at character creation and they stick to this faction. This would balance the sides by roughly making them equal in size instead of forcing Jedi to all start out as rebels.
This would not make factions roughly equal in size. The faction bias on some servers is evidence of this.
When it comes to the added number of imperial Jedi being forced into playing rebels until they get apprentice it does. Currently 90% of the Jedi in the game are Rebels this is because of 2 reasons.
1. All Jedi are forced to start out as rebels even though their main was imperial.
2. Light Jedi is considerably more powerful than dark Jedi.
But, seeing as existing characters will become force-sensitive in addition to their old professions (by all indications in this thread), it's a moot point. Faction will be preserved.

Nope if you read the statement Jedi still wont be able to choose faction until the Knight tree. Therefore the point is still valid.

It would figure that you all start changing things when i have just started holo grinding 
in any case to all of you who are complaining let me say I understand but remember this:
1. When in the past has SOE or the dev teams for any games including Everquest EVER realy listened to players about there concerns .....granted sometimes they do but usualy its too late by then (like problems in EQ now).
2. Have you ever wrote SOE or DEV teams? they usualy send you a general email they send out to everyone and you rarely get a personal response back.
I guess what im saying is they we are going to have to ride the wave of this change even though many are confused and dont like these changes...just as many of us did with EQ (we can only hope thsi does not become an EQ let down).
I myself am like you and hate riding the wave of change but we have to look at it like this....do we realy have a choice? Sure we could all cancel our accts but the point is they are going to do this weather we like it or not.
If it is a huge mistake we can all sit back and yell at the top of our lugs WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!
oh wait they wont even lisen to us then either.
Oh well i guess I will just ride the wave and try and have fun wich is what the game was ment for...just hope i dont drown
Have fun everyone and I will see you somewhere out there

Yo Dudes how the hell can you lot say the jedi revamp its gona ruin the game i tell you wot ruins the game you holo grinders useing 3rd party programs and game exploits you dont deserve to be jedi and players who do find its to hard and complicated at this time the new revamp is gona be awasome so stop crying! and THUNDERHEART is doing his best so stop geting out your pram and just chill out! keep up the good work THUNDERHEART...!
I hate to sound bitter.. but play this game for a few months first. Thunderheart does have a hard job, they really need like 10 thunderhearts. But he is losing is popularity quick with us by not posting the truth.. or the lack of posts overall. He is scared to post now.. he was in an email with someone and stated he didnt like to post because it would get flamed. If he cant take flames from people then he does not need to be in the position he is in. If he cant post what he feels or what we feel.... then I am afraid he needs to find another hat to wear. He is the "Assistant Community Manager". You should be able to communicate effectively to be in this position. Thats just my opinion. If anyone wants a link to the thread where he said he was scrared I can post it.
