Why are all the planets so linear?

Also, people, I would like to point out an anoying thing.

Whatever the way you think about it, WOW is much less linear than TOR.

In TOR, you are basically forced to go on every single planet, and in the same order despite permutations
.

soooo 4 of the 17 planets are nice wide open areas?? and no i havnt been on any of the ones you listed but even still all the planets should have some exploration, not just corridors or lil small areas. That is one of the biggest problems with the game.

In WOW, leveling in dungeons is quite possible. AND there is at the very least a choice of zones to go. If you start from the scratch, you can level on Kalimdor or Azeroth. You can perfectly well do Elwynn then Westfall, or Elwynn then Redridge. The only instance of a zone you are positively forced to do are starting zones in BC and MOP. And even there, after those zones, you have choise (Zangar or Terrokar ?) (Four Winds or Kassarang ?)

Having the choice between two zones make a game LOOKs way less linear.

LOL, seriously are you retarded. WoW is big time Linear as many other modern MMO's but the difference is at least when I start a new character I have 7 different stories to play which make it much less linear than WoW the 2nd, 3rd time and so on around.

This game has a lot to explore and half the people that come play are not even aware of DATACRONS/LORE OBJECTS but great Troll post.

Freaking hilarious and get real dude.

No man, the planets get exponentially more expansive as you level through them.

Tatooine, Alderaan, and Hoth are absolutely huge.

What's stopping you?

If you think Tatooine or Alderaan are "absolutely huge" you would explode if you ever saw the Karanas of Norrath. When planets can fit inside territories or towns of other games, "huge" is not an apt word for any zone.
