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. This post was edited by Kenyon on Mar 23 2011 05:48pm. |

Kit Fisto and General Grievous are also my favorite characters of them all. May the force forever be with you. -Silya Beeodess |

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. _______________ If you add me to MSN, tell me who you are

Quote: 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). _______________ Blue! blue stance for ever!!! oh ye : owner of dash's "GOM!!11!! it's purple'" *1800* comment!!! owner of Wicek 3333rd "cool guys use Yellow sabers" post. Kyle Katarn is the new jedi order BattleMaster... meaning he is better then Luke in saber fighting! HA TAKE THAT SKYWALKER FAN's! |

Foxy is good, got some better places tho =P _______________ 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#??" |

There's a new guild page on the swtor website. Anyone think a TJA guild will be a good idea? http://www.swtor.com/guilds/18182/jedi-academy Although, I can't join it. Got a scroll bug on the website for me. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

Quote: I was able to get my hands on the Taral V Flashpoint both Friday and Sunday mornings of the event. Friday playing the Smuggler Scoundrel in the healing roll, Sunday playing the Trooper Vanguard in the tanking roll. If requested I'll do a full run down. By far my favorite part of the weekend was the amount of 1on1 time i had with a variety of dev's, they shared information about everything from game mechanics to personal stories of how they got into the industry, what made them want to do game design as well as technical questions like the tools they used.
Very nice JP! Sounds like an amazing experience. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts concerning the combat, primarily the fluidity and group dynamics. Sounds like SWTOR will be coming out after July 1st from recent news (See darthhater.com for details). _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

I have so many friends here from all across the world, as well as from other online communities, that I want to play TOR with.  |

Quote: Looks like we wont wee this till the second half of next year.
During a speech at the Credit Suisse 2010 Technology Conference, Electronic Arts CFO Eric Brown announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released at some point during EA's 2012 fiscal year. This means that we now have official confirmation that the upcoming MMO will not be available prior to April 2011. The Old Republic Release Date Update We already had a tentative release set for Spring 2011, which starts in the end of March. Not much of a change at all imo, just clear confirmation that it will come sometime after April 1st. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |
