Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG?

Got this rumor from Wikipedia:
Quote:
On April 25th, 2007, a rumor came about that BioWare was secretly in development on a Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG. Stemming from the latest issue of EGM, the rumor contained little information to support the claim. However, investigation into the matter reveals that there is more to the rumor than EGM's single suggestion. In early 2006 BioWare opened an Austin branch to develop an unnamed MMORPG. This alone confirmed an inevitable BioWare MMO, but the choice of Richard Vogel as a leader of the project is what largely suggest that the currently unnamed MMO is set in the KOTOR universe. Vogel was one of the project leaders behind the sci-fi MMO Star Wars Galaxies. SWG was held down by being set in a universe where continuity prevented any true story development (such as seen in WoW) and SOE assuming creative control eventually caused the removal of the things that had kept SWG's hardcore fanbase playing among them the skill tree system, which allowed for more customizable characters and drastic changes to the game's combat and character profession selection.

SOE has been confirmed to have lost the Star Wars license, though there has been no confirmation that BioWare will be producing a KotOR MMORPG.

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Yeah but im pretty sure they will split this game, the demand for this game alone will easily blow DC out the water so having them the same is less reliable for ping etc... they will do US and EU im pretty sure of it.

i guess you didn't understand me... i have a bad grammer >.< (as in no grammer at all) i hope that there will be accsess to both NA/EU list with buying one copy of the game, as in it will come out in a global version and not a NA/EU oriented version.


No i believe they'll go the same route as WoW and region it. Makes tech support much easier for the company, As players play at different times etc...

My guess is France for the EU side and Montreal for the US side possibly we'll see

I suppose the servers for this game will split up between regions (America, Europe, Oceania), but this would be a great opportunity for many of us to get back online and play together.

Preferably we'd know up front which server we're all going to be on, so that when the game launches we can enjoy the levelling together.


not true, for example DC universe online client shares both servers from europe and North America from the last time i played it you can access both like it used to be in SWG (and lots of games combine their NA/EU servers under the same luncher such as City of Heroes for example).

I'd like to hear more of your thoughts concerning the combat, primarily the fluidity and group dynamics.


Seems Montee and Virty will be doing episodes of JA Radio again and I'm to be a guest to talk bout TOR shizzle, i'll make sure to get a recording of it from them for the people who miss it live and i'll update here when its going to eventually take place.
