Oh What a World Balmorra Announced

Today Sean announced to the world that we will be able to travel to Balmorra:

Due to escalating tensions on the devastated, war-torn world of Balmorra, both the Sith Empire, and the Galactic Republic are looking for new recruits to ship out Be sure to get caught up on the newest playable planet in the Star Wars: The Old Republic universe Find out more about the story and struggle of this manufacturing world famous for its battle-droids and weapons.

Access the HoloNet entry to read the story behind Balmorra's escalating tensions, as Republic-sponsored Balmorran Resistance forces strive to keep the planets resources out of Imperial hands. Dont forget to visit the Media page to see Balmorra brought to life in stunning screenshots, concepts, and wallpapers

The big thing is, this appears to be a world that both factions are fighting over, due to the fact that it makes battle droids. And for all you Morrowind players (I'm one of them) remember this Balmorra has two r's.

Great new planet announcement. I love how it's not like any of the previous worlds. Balmorra is war-torn and ravaged, a stark contrast to previous planet reveal Coruscant's sleek urban landscape and clean majesty(at least for its top levels).

Could this be the first PVP planet?
From the descriptions and the storyline surrounding this fascinating planet, this can be my biggest guess. Great update in any event. Hope to see everyone there!

Absolutely. It will be interesting to see how PvP objectives are implemented here, and how much PvE content there will be. Will this be a contested zone, like the Hellfire Peninsula, or is this more like Alterac Valley?
