Thoughts on the new Expansion?

There have been a number of rumors as of late about a new expansion coming sometime in 2007, I am wondering what you all think it maybe? Personally, I think there maybe a large event of some sort as a representation of the Battle on Hoth, and then that leads into the release of the expansion which would have one or two planets, but I have not decided on the planets. I am also wondering if in the expansion they will use some of the new technology that is coming out in the release of the new LA games in 2007, but I don’t know if that would work or not, maybe not. But anyways tell me what you think it will be and what you are hopping it will be about for the new expansion. Bring it on down now.
Damn byotch dat aint no friggn moon fool, dat be a friggn space station byotch.

I don't know if Hoth will really work. I mean there was only one tiny reb base there and the rest of the planet is ice. If they just made it a total PVP planet maybe it would work.
hoth didn't just have a tiny reb base think of what luke went throw with the snow beast an the caves an the pro trodes... there could be alot more then what you think on that planet... what about tatoo an all those other planets if you watch the movies they don't talk about some of the citys that they got in the game
Hoth is worthless. Id like to see either Geonosis, Nal Hutta, or Ryloth. Actually any planet on the Outer Rim that isnt Hoth.

HOTH????
dont think so man the events are placed between new hope and empire strikes back
and that happens in empire strikes (duh) having a at st or at at wont make me cry though....
so actually we are in the battle of restuss thing mostly lol
so dont think we would get our dream of a expansion...
and coruscant can sound like a dream,like even nar shadda
and to think all the quests that could be on a planet like korriban (FOR THE SITH)
if they would have stuck with the pre-cu we all know there would be a expansion
but i hear there's a complete edition comming out...they give you a walker i think
(HAVENT YOU herad OF the supposed NEW SPECIES rumor ....i mean gungan's,jawas, wtf....
or even a jedi gamorrean)
im gonna shut up gets me more pissed off at nge....

Advacing the timeline to post Ep. 6 would at least do something to make the game more in line with the story. However, obviously SOE doesn't care whether the game conflicts with the movies or not. Not sure most of them have even watch the movies.
I'd like to see that too, but i think theyve said before that coruscant is impossible to to game engine limitations. Would be nice if they managed to make it work though.

I dont think Coruscant is possible in any SW game, at least not full scale. Battlefront 2 has Coruscant, but its only the Jedi Temple. There is just to much stuff to load and process, everybody would need a dual processor server motherboard that supports dual core, and 16 gigs of RAM to handle the whole city. They would have to split it in quadrants like Kashyykk......lots of quadrants, to be playable. But even then, imagine the server load.
Nal Hutta falls into this same impossibility, which sucks because its one of the planets I would love to see, and would add a limitless line of content for Smugglers, Bounty Hunters and Spy's.

Couple of things...Blazin, you fell out of character writing this post. Your sentences are too clearly written. Tsk. Stay on target, fella.
Advancing the timeline--they hinted at that last January then it went into limbo.
How does Restuss do anything to advance the timeline?
The hype during E3 about "changing the Galaxy forever" was more likely just the emphasis on the Galactic Civil War, something they are making good strides on accomplishing.
I would guess an expansion would be a planet not so familiar to people so they have leeway to tell the story their way.
well lok is not a known planet to any,lesser star wars fan...
and they did not invent a story...they should but that would just get me mad....
if it went on my line...ok lets dream for a while
a hutt faction...? yeah jabba the other stupid hutts....and they're nal hutta comes in? would be great to bounty hunter's, smuggler's and scum alike....
more ships......maybe they can let you be a droid such as IG-88...or hk-47....it would be akward but
jedi's running around all the time is akward already....so they should be creative...DAAAAMN

I have thought about the technical challenges of implementing Coruscant. I am thinking most people are concerned about the massive traffic in the skies in addition to numerous buildings and people. To handle the sky traffic I was thinking of making large scrolling "bulletin boards" with alpha transparency as opposed to using regular 3D objects. I wonder if that would bring it closer to being possible?
I'll play with this in a few months in my project and see if I can create a futuristic megalopolis that is believable. I'm gonna want one for my Sci-Fi game anyhow.
I realize I said I quit. I never said it was forever
Why hoth? arent there enough planets already where you walk thru the jungle/desert/swamp kilnig rats and snakes to find a cave to kill the big lizard living there for a sword?
AN urban setting with stuff to do would seem a little more Oh i dont know Sci-fi ...
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Hm, the animated TV series?
That's it! The fantastic new character generation system Expansion ... new cartoony look for your character, but don't consider this a pathetic attempt to emulate WoW, because it's definitely not that. Definitely.
Well that is because they have yet to move the timeline forward by about a year yet which they drastically need to do.

Duh.

You mean, they need to abandon the pretense that SWG is logically linked to any part of the SW timeline, which they drastically need to do.

I thought they pretty much made that clear after the "Cries of Alderaan" went down the tubes.
