Any planet will be fine as long as it has more than 2 people at peak times :P

The sandbox features you're so fond of were not successful, and served as the source for much of the criticism leveled at SWG; they turned away a lot of potential players, and are generally cited as the primary reason that SWG didn't rise to prominence instead of WoW. You may want them, but Sandbox features could only harm SWTOR. Besides, the game is literally incapable of supporting them.

In the general 1.2-Legacy news storm it got buried, as it's probably some time before it sees actual implementation, but it does mean they have it functioning internally at this point.

No Themepark MMORPG has equalled WoW either, it's a strawman argument to suggest sandbox features cannot be popular because X example didn't have as many subs as WoW - nothing has (Western anyway).
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too? Goretzu's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving "Entitled" approaches 1

The only Dev comment I've seen on space is "in the next 6 months a couple of new missions" (pharaphrased badly).

None. One of the biggest mistakes they made when developing this game was adding too many planets with small, multi-instanced zones on each one.. and no universal chat/lfg channels. they need to make the planets they have more alive before adding more planets.

You may want them, but Sandbox features could only harm SWTOR. Besides, the game is literally incapable of supporting them. How do you know TOR wouldn't be able to support it? Why not have aspects from different MMO's put into one? I don't see how adding a little sandbox flare to a predominantly "themepark" style game can be harmful in any way. That just means they can appeal to more of a broader audience. If people don't like it, they don't have to participate. Just like space combat. I'm not looking for nostalgia. I'm looking for an opportunity for me, and my guild to express themselves by utilizing a time sink in a game we already love to play.
