PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE POSTING THERE ARE ALOT OF POSTS FROM PEOPLE WHO DID NOT READ THE ENTIRE POST.The title of this thread has been modified to reflect the findings of this ongoing investigation.

Update 10/10/09: a new "working" link was foung today http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/space-combat credit to Sunyata. My only curiosity on this find is why both Space and Space-Combat work , it is possible one of them will not be used.

UPDATE 8/2/09: It apears as though this post may have made its way up the food chain. PvP , Combat , Characters , Equipment and Enemies now display the Page Cannot Be Found Error. Story Guild Proffessions and Space still take you to a blank screen without the error. It is possible that the remaining four working links are infact the remaining four hidden holonet menus

Original Post
As with any pre release game we have all had our fair share of speculations, and there COULD be a perfectly reasonable explanation that would prove me wrong...but because they make sense i doubt im wrong. If you encounter any other words that do not generate the error please post and ill refine my OP as needed. I know some people dont like to post in large threads but if you have any input or additions please post , i will read and review every post with an objective veiw including anything that may prove me wrong.

So i was doing some digging today and found something interesting...if you go to the Holonet http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/ and type in any random word after you will get a page that says the requested page cannot be found
But i found 4 words that did not give me that error. Combat , PvP , Professions , and Space. Story ,Characters ,Guild ,Equipment and Enemies were also found to work.

These five links take you to a blank screen but do not conatin the "requested page cannot be found" error

These five links started giving the "requested page cannot be found" error sometime after midnight 8/2/09

I tried with class and planet tabs but no matter what you put in you get a blank visual matrix screen. This method seems to only show Root Menu Items , Sub-Menu items will always apear with that catagorys visual frames but empty, meaning ANY word you insert will open to a blank planet or class screen unless there is uploaded content under that heading. examples:
http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classes/cheeseburger
http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/pl...lanethollywood

The knowledge that these features are part of the game is not new news by any means, just thought id share my find.

*** NOTICE*** Please keep this thread ON TOPIC. All Trolling posts will be flagged.If you personaly or this thread have been Flamed in any way please DO NOT retaliate , just ignore them and the post will be removed in due time

Awesome news. At least there is some sort of confirmed profession in the game. Unless the page later reads "There will be no professions in the game."

Given that it doesn't say "Requested page not found" on the OP's pages, I'm inclined to think this may be right.

Good finding OP, but I've confirmed what's stated above so there might be some things that will work no matter what you type...
I intentionally don't have a "ASCII lightsaber" signature....
