Star Wars: The Old Republic [KOTOR MMO]

Screw an MMO. The other KOTORS were awesome because of their incredible story and how into it you could get. An MMO is, less engaging.

Maybe the MMO is KOTOR 3, like guildwars. It might have a decent storyline like Guildwars etc.

SO bascially a combat based MMO

that would be the lamest thing to ever happen to kotor

I would prefer KOTOR 3, but meh. If they do this game right, I'll get it.

KotOR would suck as MMO. Your interaction with the world and characters will not even remotely be the same. It just will not work like previous KotOR. If it turns out that KotOR 3 will be a MMO, I will get very disappointed. What I like the most with KotOR was the various depths of each path, be it good or evil, and the interaction with different characters.

It is impossible to get the same touch.

I don't want it to be KOTOR 3, just because you can't have as engaging story in an MMO, but an MMO in the KOTOR time frame sounds interesting.

It would be better than a skill based MMO, I don't want my Jedi/Sith to increase his smithing level ¬_¬

Bioware just made the confirmation:

The wait is finally over! The first details of EA and BioWare's long-kept secret MMO project, Star Wars: The Old Republic were revealed moments ago at a press conference is still underway in San Francisco.

SWTOR is based on the Knights of the Old Republic universe from BioWare's Xbox and PC creations. The Old Republic is a "story-driven MMO," and Bioware jokes that The Old Republic is KOTOR 3,4,5 and beyond.

The Old Republic is BioWare's first take into the MMORPG world. BioWare said that each player in the upcoming MMO will have their own unique story, where again, consequences will be faced whether the player chooses to walk the path of light or delve into the dark side.

BioWare's Greg Zeschuk said during the press event that companion characters in The Old Republic would play a significant role. Much like the support characters in the past KOTOR titles, whether the players decides to become a Sith Lord or a Jedi Knight, companion characters will change according to the player's decisions.

Players can embark on their new Star Wars journey through the Sith Empire or the Galactic Republic, each supporting multiple sub-classes with unique storylines. Game art director Jeff Dobson said that his team focused on making each character in the game iconic to promote each class further to players. So, creating our very own Han Solo and Boba Fett could be very possible indeed.

Stay tuned for more updates about the game.

We'll see how this one will go...

Imo, it's great news. Sure a KotOR III woul dbe great to get down the line, to finish the Revan and Exile story-arcs, but this is the ultimate setting for an MMO, so I welcome thos with open arms.

Wow! This game excites me in ways no woman ever has...

I'm VERY excited about this. I just hope it doesn't become a failure down the line like Star Wars: Galaxies did. Wait, it's not Sony, so it can't, right? RIGHT??!!

Wait. Didn't Star Wars Galaxies suck?

To coin a phrase...I have a very bad feeling about this..

As long as it's a quality mmorpg then i have no problem with this. Because, im sure, if the game does well there will be new single player KOTOR games or even just offering single player quests would be fine enough.

They did say somewhere (possibly IOGN article) that most of the game shall be soloable.

I admit to be among the few that really like the game in the early days. But the bugs and glitches were annoying. For me Galaxies went down the tube with the addition of Jedis. Too many damn ligthsabers kill it for me.

A lot of Jedi in ANH era is just silly, but in this Old Republic area we expect to see a substantial amount of Jedi/Sith.

Yeah, I liked SWG early on also. The housing aspect and the crafting and searching for minerals were the best part of the game. But that was before the dark times...
