    If you are talking about stats mini maxers do AD because they have the best stamina AND magicka races (also ZOS does show favoritism to AD) EP has health a dead attribute in the current meta... if you are not looking at stats or you have the any race any alliance upgrade neither they are both the same unless you have friends in one faction you might as well toss a coin.

    Are the zones nicer for EP? I want a really cool alliance, so it's really difficult for me D:. And yep I have the any alliance upgrade.

    Ok I'm kidding and nobody will understand that unless you PvP on EU PC. Anyway... I am mostly DC so I can offer more objective advice.

    It depends mostly on Aesthetics. I personally prefer the EP quest zones both in terms of storyline and environment. Your choice of alliance also affects the style of alliance armours you get from Imperial City (although you can buy and wear armour of opposing alliances). EP's dragon themed armour is the best by far, followed by DC and AD. I spent a ridiculous amount of gold buying EP-style gear when IC first released lol.

    Play as a pact, they have better zones and faction quest story. You got more satisfaction from cruching blueberries and bananas in pvp. That's why they form the green alliances cause they can't take us pactman on by themselves.

    Well, you could support the beautiful, gracious and wise Queen Ayrenn in her quest to forge an era of peace and prosperity for all citizens of Tamriel; or you could throw your lot in with a drunken barbarian who just wants everyone to get off his lawn.

    Seems like an easy choice to me ;)

    We pactman fight as one hence the name Ebonheart Pact, don't worry we are more than capable fighting bananas and blueberries on by ourselves.

    Where's the fun in joining the green alliances if I may ask?

    Because you "pactmen" often have more players then both alliances combined. so we dont really have a choice but to make this "green alliance" i rarely see

    It also depends on the system. EP has the most by far on XB1, but im also seeing more AD too because alot of EP and DC switching to them. not sure why, but im pretty sure they have the most players overall.

    AD

    Robot queen anyday over Amalexia, Slaves, and some incompetent drunken fool that needs you to do everything for him.

    Also, AD has Razum-dar. Raz is by far the most complete character I've seen so far (halfway through Caldwell Gold) and sticks along for the entire Alliance questline. I've always felt AD's characters were better written between Ayrenn, Raz & the Green Lady.
