Kurzick or Luxon?
I Might Avenge U
Which would you choose to be on your first run through, cause I'm having a bit of trouble choosing which path to go at first, although eventually I will do both...
Marty Silverblade
Luxon first. Kurzicks are emo and you can't see half the time. Besides. Luxons are usually winning so I'd stay with them. Alternatively, if you want new armor, you can see which one you like more, and get it there.
Elementer Masta
This is completely opinion based. The above comment is crap. I would go with Kurzick first, simply because my guild is Kurzick, and in my experience, The Eternal Grove is easier than the Luxon mission equivalent Gyala Hatchery.
HawkofStorms
Hehe, ignore Marty. It doesn't really matter. Both sides win ABs 50/50 and you seem to be worried about going through the plotline, so this is my advice...
You can do either side (though Kurzicks seems to have slightly more people, so if you need to PUG the first missions through you might have a faster time finding a group on the Kurzick side). On the other hand, Gayla Hatchery mission on the Luxon side is easier then Eternal Grove, the Kurzick equivalent.
So they both have their strengths and weakness.

I would say luxon. he missions are easier just because gala hatchery you basically dont have to do any work.

The luxons and kurzicks only have 2 differences.
As a luxon you yell "LOLZ DIE KURSUCKS!!"
and as a kurzick you yell "LOL SUXONS!!!"
Other then that there are really no differences

Hmm, So what I'm starting to see is:
Go for whichever side you want... it doesn't really matter?
Here's a few factors I thought of:
1) Guild
2) Seeing as i never really see friend of the luxons, would be cool to get 1st teir...
3) Kurzick Elite Mish is kinda hard to pass up since Ima Ranger currently...
4) i find Kurzick AB some of the most fun I've ever had, even though I lost ALOT...

Again lemme say I'm eventually gonna do both for protector of cantha

You can always be in kurzick guild and ask for a invite from a luxon guild. That way, you can complete luxon mission for the protector of cantha and vice versa.
Kurzick is much harder to find PuG. Most of the time, the towns are empty.

You don't really have to make a choice. Whatever side you have more faction with at the time is what side who's merchants you can talk to and whose armor you can craft. That's it. You can go back and forth anytime to do quests/missions (ie, once you reach Gayla with 10000 luxon faction, you can spend that faction and then get more Kurzick faction and then play Gayla whenever you want).
Water Angel
luxon missions are much easier too.
galy hatchery is a cake to hench or hero in compare to eternal grove.
so if you look for the easiest/fastest way go luxon.

well... since you are almost decided to go Luxon...
go Luxon because we kurzicks need more luxons to make AB...
last time i heard there was a 30:1 ratio of kurzicks to luxons... don't know if its true...

Well, this is my opinion, and just how I feel.
I am currently in a Luxon guild, but I wanna be in a Kurzick one, and if you read about Kurzick culture you will find their are very organized forest dwelling people, they believe in tradition, law, and obviously have strong faith in the Gods (Who doesnt in these times). Which is what I believe in in life, law, order, tradition, and so on.
I am not fully advocating Kurzicks here, the fact the Kurzicks believe in having classes and houses for order and so on, you give one man almost too much power, and makes plenty of room for plenty of corruption. While when you look at the Luxon side, you see sea baren people, who roam the sea and transfer goods, good strong hard working people, who in all actuality almost have no true classes or leaders, they may have captains and generals, but no Godly figures for them to bow before other than the turtles, which is due to faith, they still believe in the five Gods though. So I see the Luxons as free men, men without law, you can be a Luxon and seen as a free man, that is why I call Kurzicks dogs, obeying their masters like good little pets, while as Luxons can be seen as pigs due to their rugged lifestyle. So thats just my opinion, I have found a home in the Luxon ways, as I myself take this dang game far too seriously, lol.

Personally, I would go with the Kurzicks first. Mainly because they give you more than enough quests to earn you the 10k faction you need (and as a result, you can get to Eternal Grove quite quickly). The Luxons don't give you enough quests to get all the faction you need, so it will take a bit of grinding to get the remaining coupla thousand faction points you need to take the Gyala Hatchery route.

(I'm Luxon, did both sides). The only hard part of the mission that I've ever found was the warrior boss, and dust trap/throw dirt kinda takes care of that. As for Gyala: gogo splinter barrage....

Haha,
I do plan to end up on Kurzicks, Meerly because of Fort Aspenwood. That Ab is SO fun playing Kurzicks... Never tried it on Luxon though.
i guess it would make more sense to do Luxon 1st.. Doesn't really matter though...
That's interesting, So you would enjoy playing Kurzicks just for the Roleplaying side of it? makes sense, although some of those Kurzick Missions are a B****
I more meant that the only Green items that Urgoz drops are all bows, so even if I do the mission to the end, there is a good chance that if I do
get a drop, it is very beneficial to me. Pretty good situation seeing as Trapping also works well in The Deep...

its kinda up to you, i myself are luxon cuz i think they have the coolest armor, and i find both place quite easy to get around..
the jade sea is a bit easier tho, also for chestruns, luxon is fast, kurzick is prefered cuz of the drops of gothic stuff

I was called a Kurzdick once. o-o
I chose Kurz's because imo the armor looks much better. When I went over to the Luxon area, I found alot of the area's empty, and it was rather hard to find good groups. There's a ton of people with the Kurzicks.

Kurzick. Forget the emo/goth remarks some people make. It's just because they cannot think of a better reason.
I find forests more interesting than what is possibly a giant frozen pistachio-flavored icepop. Plus Kurzicks have some German ties to culture and naming!
The whole pirate idea is cool, but not with the Luxons. They don't look like pirates, they look like...well...THINGS!
I also agree Kurzicks have more quests and are a lot more cultured. Luxons basically are like...
Bob: Me smash yeti head off.
Joe: Me smash yeti arm off.
Tom: Me smash yeti head AND arm off!
Suxons: OOOOOOH!!! *start cheering for Tom like a bunch of crazy gorillas*
Kurzicks also seem to have more people, which is helpful if you are anti-henching or are guildless/have a small guild.

Just go look around a bit and join the group you like. For me this is Kurzick. I also like the beautiful Gothic area and outposts, but the nature in the Northern Luxon area's is nice as well.
I also did all the Luxon missions and mapped all the area later on.

Go with Luxon's, personally they are alot nicer i first went with the Luxons then tried the Kurz side and everyone was so mean to me the entire time. I got no help or nothing the entire time I was on the Kurz side. The Luxons helped me through everything.
The choice is yours but i've had better luck/drops/ and hospitaltiy on the Luxon side.

Luxon side is much easier.
Kurzicks have closed in areas with Dredge popups that absolutely own henchies.
Luxon is much more open and easy to manage aggro

Ally with either side only affects which side you play for AB. I finish the kurzick side when factions came out first to get 15k kurzick armor but my guild was allied with luxons.
You only need 10,000 factions points for each side. 1-3 hours at Ft. Aspenwood will accomplish this....
Currently Kurzicks rule......
Wrath of m0o
I went with the Luxon side first, and i think alot of people go to Luxon because they think the name sounds better, thats why i chose Luxon. I later switched to Kurzick. They have the better elite farming area -Urgoz-
Plus there have been sightings of Drizzt Do'Urden roaming with a pack of Ewoks and Drow Elves in the Echovald Forrest. I havent seen him yet, but i have a guildy that aperantly had an encounter. Both sides are fun, but if you really want to be cool, go with Drizzt, it sure beats being a Turtle-Hugger.

When you talk to Jamei in Maatu Keep choose anyside, finish the quest, come back and talk to her and finish the other quest and now you got access to bothsides.

As far as what side to go first. Its up to you if you want more of a challenge first go Kurz if you dont go Lux. I say this cause Lux mission Gyala has a back way that makes masters almost 100%(unless team is full of noobs which does happen) See thats how bad luxons are they need a back way to get masters on a mission
j/k(kind of)
zling
start as a kurzick, easier to get the essential 10k factions as the quests alone give more than enough.
later switch to luxon, do some AB, jade arena or whatever to get the remaining factions after you finished all the quests in cavalon and move on from there...
than pick whichever you liked more
