    As far as the player base it seems so. There were a lot more players fighting for the Samurai and Viking than the knights. From an in game story stand point The Knights are the largest faction, followed by the Viking, with the Samurai, being the smallest of the three. More importantly your faction choice doesn't limit your character options. You can play as any character you want regardless of who you're fighting for. So you can still play the giant tank samurai if you fought for the vikings or knights.

    Most importantly I think Knights are the only faction who actually has cookies. Why else would the viking be raiding them and the Samurai settling near em?

    Don't think the Shoguki is in the open beta.

    But I'm on the fence fought for the Samurai in the last 3 tests. But considering going Viking for the open beta.

    Ah i thought all classes were available..Regardless this game is very new to me. Looking forward to starting it up tomorrow at 9am.est. Every faction and class seems fun, so it will be hard to choose.I usually go with the underdogs.

    Well here is the basics going on by the story from what the lead derringer said massive natural disaster Vikings are forced to leave their home, knights colonize their home after they leave (Not sure what the knights had to deal with) Samurai need to find new land to live on due to the water level rising in their homeland. Find the same land where the knights are. Vikings return home to find the Knights have taken it.

    So personally I would say the Samurai are the worse off due to they are essentially no mads or I guess Ronin?

    Practice mode has gotten a lot better since the first tech test. Just do the basic and advance and everything else is trial by fire in multiplayer.
