Right now, we are planning to build two versions of this instance – one with an Imperial win condition and one with a Rebel win condition. The challenge is building two completely different instances that have unique experiences and events based on which side you are playing.

It would be much easier if it were a planet requiring 80+ entry quests. That way, you wouldn't have noobs running around trying to fight, and they get killed in half a second. Well, at least for the Empire :P

The Hoth instance would probably be enough for me to activate my account for a month..

Its so stupid, I don't understand why they don't just advance the frickin' timeline of the game. I mean its not like they have continuity to worry about. Hundreds of Jedi runnin' around, iconic characters are in atleast 3 places at once, ships/armor from the Clone Wars are used practically just as much as GCW era ships and armor, etc, etc, etc.
