Alderaan has officially been announced as the 7th planet for Star Wars: The Old Republic. As Sean posted today:
Ever wonder what happened on Alderaan before the Death Star reduced it to an asteroid field? Now you can see it for yourself We are excited to announce Alderaan - a planet famed for its natural beauty - as the next playable planet in The Old Republic For thousands of years this planet has been a shining example of peace and diplomacy, but now a bloody civil war threatens the legacy, and the very future of Alderaan.

/noob shame
Don't forget to check out the video, a lot of folks miss those on the Holonet pages. It's the little icon that looks like a mountain.
when they released The Force Unleashed on pc, i just couldnt play it, even though i have Dual Core, with nvidia 8600 and 2gb of Ram. but i did play Dragon Age at maximum detail with no worries. but i think i would be able to upgrade when the game comes out. it seems a shame not to experience it :P
How many planets will this game get?! Totally awesome.
I honestly hope that merchants in this game take a bigger role then in World of Warcraft. In WoW the vendors are just people who repair your things, but no one ever buys anything from them. I think if u need something repaired in ToR then go to someone who specializes in repairing, but if you go to a merchant, it should be to BUY and sell items.
As for the lore revolving around the planet, it's just brilliant.
I had absolutly no ideea that the Organa family was so old, and from such a timeline, they were involved with the politics of the galaxy. I forsee a nice political battle here, similar to the Orzammar situation in Dragon Age: Origins.
Also, the Killiks have been confirmed. For those who are not familiar with them, I suggest looking at the ''Dark Nest'' trilogy to find out more. I don't personally like insects, but their colonies are great to look at :D.
The bridge screenshot was my favourite. Left me in awe.
When I first set foot on Coruscant, the first thing i'm gonna do is fall off the tallest building. But when i'm on Alderaan, i'm just gonna sit on an Organa castle balcony and look at the mountains :)
Good news indeed. Looks great in the Screens.
