So, Coruscant has been revealed as a playable world. Ingame Footage in the video found here.
Enjoy people. Personally, i think it looks really neat the way Coruscant is designed so far.
Thanks to the guys from the Darth Hater blog, who were there and brought us this video!

Nice, thx for hooking that up. Had to one up SOE I guess
WTF......I can't play it.....it says I either don't have java installed or i have an older version....neither are true.
Hype nerds, yesh. I thought one dude was Dane Cook for a min. thx for the link
I love how they answered all those questions that many have claimed to know the answers of here......like they have a backseat in the development of the game...
Will there be player housing.........check!
Will there be and AH, economy, crafting and such.....check!
Will their be PvP........check!
Will there be social features we would expect in a fully featured MMOs......check!
Basically any feature you'd expect to be in a triple A MMO will be in the game...... nuff said!
Let round two of the speculations begin........
"Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas."
Great stuff
March on! - Lets Invade Pekopon
Ok now that was huge! Sign me up, I wanna play!
They did not say this.
They did not say this.
True they didn't say that but I do expect a type of housing, namely a small personal instance to call your own.
Why do I expect this?
When the announcement was made by Lucasarts that Bioware had KOTOR in the works some early ingame pics where released, a few of those pics where of an apartment.
Yeah but none of that crap makes this a MMO
/sarcasm
Seriously that was amazing. That's the kinda Coruscant I expect to see in a SW MMO.

I agree.. I just wish I could've seen more....
They did not say this.
They did not say this but there was a picture on the site of interior of 3 or 4 house looking buildings. No one has really asked if they will do it yet, at least from what I've seen (at pax and such, not on the forums).
Thanks for the video. That looked great, glad to see Coruscant in game.
"If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike"
First, the fact that we've seen concept art for apartment interiors does not conclusively mean that there *will* be housing. They would have to design house interiors any way if players will ever get to walk into them for anything, no? After all we *do* see many interiors in MMOs without housing.
On the other hand.... About two weeks ago, SWTOR-Station reported that they'd caught a "slip" on the demo showing in GamesCom which indicated there would indeed be housing (they said they heard a list of features which surprisingly included, yes, housing - which made them stare each other in disbelief).
Now, to me, that would not make it a given, but at least a higher probability than I'd assumed.
Oh, and Coruscant looks beautiful. I hope we can roam freely in those amazing city vistas...
Thanks for posting this link, always good to have some kind of update on this game. Looking forward to playing it even more as new stuff is released, whether it be a lot of info or just a bit, either way i like the way this game is looking so far.
It looks like I'll be hitting loading screens every 30 seconds and if thats the case like Age of Conan then I wont be playing. I hope they make zoning a seamless transition.
On the plus side, the devs confirm there will be PVP, raiding, an economy and raiding.
On the negative side, they act like shills talking to rubes.
...And Coruscant does look like a limited access themepark rather than an open landscape.
Still, it's going to be interesting seeing what they come up with. I wish they would start talking about possible beta and release dates.
Coruscant IS a frikking planet-wide city. What did you expect to see? Wide open plains and grazing dewbacks? o.O
There is no such thing as a lot of open space on this planet. It's in the lore. Except maybe a huge parking lot. -.-
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
That looked pretty sweet.
See you in the dream..
The Fires from heaven, now as cold as ice. A rapid ascension tolls a heavy price.

I don't think that was what storyless ment. Open landscape in this setting equals free roamability and not being restricted to X locations. I don't think he was refering to any kind of "grass" landscape.
OP: thanks for the link
From the game engine website
Utilizing a room visualization system, an area can contain an unlimited number of rooms. Rooms can in turn be set to render or not render adjacent rooms, greatly saving on render times and costs.
Transitional pieces can then be utilized to allow large scale texture bank swaps as a player exits one area and enters another. This powerful and flexible system delivers stellar performance and the appearance of a seamless world.

Ok, I never expected Courscant to be in the game at launch, but that is pretty awesome.
2nd PAX Demo shows Trooper Gameplay, /Dance, and Death System
Today’s last and final demonstration of the PAX Star Wars: The Old Republic demo shows off trooper gameplay footage. Oh also – /dance confirmed in this demo! We also got to see a little glimpse of the death/respawn system in the demo when the person demoing the game died. We are hoping to have the gameplay demo video up today if everything goes well with the bandwidth at PAX. More to come later.

omg cooruscant is in the game everything with TOR is going to be great cuz coruscant is now in TOR omg yes!!!
oh wait I'm sorry a planet doesn't make the game the game makes the game and from what I saw meh it looks boring laggy and without a good system behind the game i and many others will not be playing the game
why not show off something useful like mass pvp or come out and say the players are right and make jedi unlockable and go with a profession system.
this game is going to fail so hard i'll be laughing when people ask in 3 years when TOR comes out "why does it suck so bad?"
Why are you such a negative person? I don't remember any game demonstrating mass PvP in early demonstrations, UNLESS it was a full pvp game (fury for example). And you keep bitching about unlockable Jedi, I seriously think you played Jedi Pre-cu in SWG. Then it was opened to everybody and you're still butt hurt over it. You know alpha classes ruin MMOs right? Anyways, see you in "3 years", I'm sure I'll be enjoying myself while you are still seeking out ways to ruin peoples fun because you fail to have any of your own.
