Is this like a star trek style game, lots of instancing and rails? Or more open like SWG?

The last one they showed was a PvP demo... although I admit I am disappointed there has been no hint of anything to do with open world PvP other than it will be there. I hope it's not just PvP enabled with no objectives.
Star Wars without open world pvp (pvp server option) would immediately define which side of the fence I'm on with this game. I really hope they have something to it here.. and maybe something a little different as well.
As far as what can be done in Open PvP, there does seem to be terminals which give you objectives like kill 5 jedi opponents or something similar you can do for rewards, Not sure thats everything to it but thats one aspect beyond just. turn PvP on kill people get experience.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
The ease with which predictions are made on these forums: Fratman: "I'm saying Spring 2012 at the earliest [for TOR release]. Anyone still clinging to 2011 is deluding themself at this point."
Thats ok, I'm playing STO at the moment, and quite enjoying the stories. I'd prefer it to be more open, but its still quite playable - so if SWTOR actually IS like this then I dont think it will be too bad.

From everything we've seen / hears so far it seems to be yet another lobby instancing railed mmorpg for yer casual first-time-mmorpg player.

Hardly. What the public has been shown doesn't indicate anything of the sort.
Damn this NDA.
i cant wait to hear about world pvp stuff. if they announce a pvp planet with objectives, i'll be cheering heh
