So they released information about the new SWG expansion. While a new planet is cool, it doesn't really seem like Kashyyyk to me. Especially after playing KOTR. The screenshots just look plain and empty. I remember back in the day, the Devs said they couldn't do certain things because it would hurt peoples render times and overall playing quality if they had a lot of detail. For example, having Coruscant. But then I go to places in WoW and think the devs on SWG are smoking crack. Feralas looks a lot more like Endor than Endor does in SWG.

I don't think there are as many Wookie lovers out there that will go back to SWG because of this. Would it really be that hard for them to make an expansion that is just Coruscant, just split it up into sectors like they do the planets?

Maybe some good things will come out of this expansion. Then again, probably not. Just more bugs.

i wanna be those lil ewok(sp) thinigies.. theyre cute.. sorta like fuzzy gnomes.

this is because SWG went overboard on the graphic engine. also, they use random scrolling terrain on the planets to make it easier on the servers.

there can be a small hill and a tree at 1000 1000 on Naboo one day and then not be there after the next server reset. they just add Cities, POIs and static trees, mountains etc. (the collidable kind) and everything else is random generated on reset.

coruscant would not be possible with this system because there is no terrain. its all city and all collidable buildings, so they would have to build an entire 15000x15000 planet from scratch and that would actually require effort.
