Well, well, well, BioWare is back here to hit us up with yet ANOTHER planet, making the current total number of planets now at sixteen. Perhaps this is where they will stop? I doubt it. It's another ice planet, so I guess we're seeing more than one or a certain type of environment. Not really all that much to say about it, although it was featured in Star Wars: Empire at War, and possesses quite a number of crystals used by Jedi for their lightsabers. Perhaps this will be a treasure trove for Jedi and Sith wanting to augment their lightsabers to more powerful levels?

Last thing to note, is of course, the little end note each planet always seems to have. This time, it goes along the lines of this: "Republic leaders and members of the Jedi Council have begun to question whether they might have surrendered a resource of far greater value than anyone ever imagined…". It seems that every planet has some little secret or important thing for either the Republic or Sith Empire that you'll know doubt have to explore.

Well, that's it from me. Check it out yourself:

Agreed. ^

Ilum seems much darker and more like my type of planet than Hoth. Hoth is too bright and shiny for me.

Also 16 really does seem like enough. I had concerns before, but if there are any more planets im going to seriously start to doubt the quality of planets we will be getting.

Definitely agree the planet is more interesting than Hoth, I think the Republic may be in need of a smuggler to get some of those crystals of the planet Cool

Off topic.
Ehm....you know the planets name sound the same as a danish snoppish department store, alot like Harolds.

On topic.
INterresting planet indeed. As well the crystalled can be used for the sith classes and not only the repuclic, it could be a major hotspot for smuggling and trading...Every man for it self and hightest price wins over moral and ethics

Wow another planet!

I'm wondering if some of those 16 planets are smaller than others. I'm just kinda doubting those are all vast sprawling free rpaming places.

WoW doesnt have planets though... im not really sure if you can compare them.

Also, I don't think that Bioware had a development team for every planet. That means that they've likely had one team shuffling to many different planets in the 5 or however many years they've been working. Im worried that they havent spent enough time on each planet, yet since the quality I've seen so far looks good for the most part, I naturally worry about the scale.

There's a fine line between having a planet that's just right with size, and one that's TOO big. You don't want to be roaming for hours just killing mobs in an effort just to do a single quest. Unless the planet is going to be action packed and fun most of the time, you don't want something that's too massive. Remember, though, BioWare have been working on SW:TOR for six years. That's ample time to make numerous fairly large planets. I have faith in them. BioWare games have always had nice environments, which are generally just the right size.

Well reading the infomation it does say small planet so guessing it should be smaller then others. I expect it will be like Typho says it will be as much useful content as they can fit in.

But for me it makes sense that on plaents like Tatooine and Hoth I would expect there to be large distances between settlements, but its not up to us, lets hope Bioware get the right balance.
