Classic days back.....

i have read up on it to some extent

did people live down there? yes..

was it common for the hero figures or even most of the average people in books to run around down there? nope(atleast not that i read)

besides, the biggest problem isn't the coding, its the graphics

i mean, we're talkin about bringin KOTOR walkin around in huge cities to SWG where you walk around on the open plains of planets and go wherever you please, not follow a catwalk or suffer an untimely demise to a drop so far you die before seeing the bottom do to sheer g-force

Do some more reading up on Han and you'll run across more of the lower levels. There are also cases where other "heros" ran into the underworld areas shortly after the fall of the Empire and the Rebellion took over the planet. I beleive some of the Xwing series also goes a little into the middle and a bit of the lower areas as well.

as for what can be found down there?

Consider this.....…several hundred meters below the south pole of Coruscant, the Ice Crypts held what are believed to be the remains of thirteen pre-Republic Zhell lords?

The Ice Crypts were a network of subterranean caves in the glaciers several hundred meters beneath the Hasamadhi Warehouse District, near the south pole of Coruscant.

Thirteen burial chambers lay at the end of the tunnel system, each containing a mummified corpse with weapons, armor, and trophies of war. Archaeologists believed them to be the remains of the chiefs of the thirteen nations of Zhell, who presumedly had fled there after their defeat at the hands of the Taungs in pre-Republic times. It was one of the only known artifacts of this time period.

While the crypts were open to the public in the time of the Galactic Republic, the Empire restricted them in an effort to suppress information on pre-Imperial civilizations. The temperature was maintained to keep the tunnels from melting, and tourists were prevented from entering the chambers themselves. Some curators claimed to have heard ghostly voices at night reciting the chant "korah mahtah."

Would make for an intersting quest don't you think?

More on the planet.... http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant

There are a bunch of creatures listed on that site and if after reading all the way to the end...you can't see how they can make that one amazing planet....you are nuts. :P Heck, EVERYTHING that makes SWG Star Wars can be rolled up on that one planet alone.

Wow, that's great news! Publish 13 is where we will be when it goes live.

The admin on the forums there said that the word form LA is that this will all come together and ready for the public in about a year. I owuldnt be surprised if its even sooner, but ehh...we have waited this long...what's another year?

Anyway...yeah...LA backing is a huge hurdle that they have jumped and will go a long way in insuring that SOE keeps their nose out of it and keeps their own legal hounds in the cages. This is great news!

i wouldn't put a time frame on it, it all depends on how much time the devs and any outside coders spend on it

the more they spend + faster they manage to RE the packets the faster it goes, but a huge bump in the road could slow things down in a hurry

but yea, hopefully by end of this year we will have more to do besides create a toon and walk around a void planet, its going to take a long while to iron out combat and then crafting though, i think swg was in dev for a min of 3 years, part of that was the beta, but still, that was a full team working on it 8+ hours a day
