Hey everyone, I was just thinking, what kind of planets can each class go to? Are there planets that a certain class is not allowed to set foot on, or what? Now, the people who went to PAX East, or at least have seen videos, SW:TOR held a little meeting on space combat, which for me was very interesting to watch, especially the first look at the galaxy map!

As everyone knows (or should know...heh), there is going to be space combat, personal ships, and the ability to go from planet to planet. But where has Bioware drawn the line? Is a Bounty Hunter allowed to visit Tython? Can the Jedi Knight go to Dromund Kass? These are the questions that many people, myself included want to know.

Everyone wants to experience all of the planets that Bioware has worked so hard to make, but most want to stick to a faction and not have to play on the other side just to experience what Bioware made.

So, what is Bioware doing or what have they done for this situation?

 * People have personal Ships to transport them to certain planets
 * Your galaxy map is divided into regions that simulate Republic space vs. Empire space
 * We have seen republic classes engaging in PvP on the planet Korriban
 * Classes should be able to visit all planets
 * Every planet has a PvP area
 * Even if the planet is not a part of the main story line, there will be quests for your characters benefit
 * All origin worlds are accessible to all classes.
 * No planets are restricted to one class or another.

With all of the hype that swtor is getting, I would expect them to allow every class to visit all planets. But, then you have to take into consideration that a person would have to breach space defenses, and maybe even pay off a guard to let you through certain areas.

Bioware has done a lot of work on this game, and we can only hope that they allow this to happen. And I bet that this will happen, it is exactly why they have the possible release date from March 31st to the end of the fiscal year. They don't want to rush their developers, and that is enough time for them to be able to create this scenario, and do everything else that they plan to do.
