Alderaan

If you're not familiar with our first planet, it was the adopted home of Princess Leia Organa and eventually destroyed by the first Death Star. In the Old Republic era, Alderaan was a key location for anyone partaking in early hyperspace exploration. On top of that, the world is one of the founding members of the Old Republic itself.

The government and people of Alderaan did everything in their power to uphold a balance with all that surrounded them and for a good reason: Calling this world beautiful would be a massive understatement. There are no oceans on the planet, but instead a snaking system of seas, lakes and rivers. This makes most of the planet a lush wonderland, perfect for exploration and plenty of zone variety all in one place. Another bonus to Alderaan was its highly cultivated culture, philosophy and education, which would likely mean a strong Jedi presence.

There's no conclusive reason to exclude such a locale. It can serve several gameplay purposes and would manifest breathtaking moments for players. Every MMO I love has a place of constant return and Alderaan would be one of them, without a doubt.
