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

Yeah this is an awesome clip, though we should remember this is only a cinematic and not actual gameplay but if the game is half as good as this we're in for a real treat. _______________ *CLICKEH->Never risk the Fett Man|*Download my Saber here.

Wow, that 3min cinematic was better than all 3 prequels together. I was kinda on the fence about this game but I really hope for the best. _______________ "We keep odd hours...." ----------------------- They Live, We Sleep |

Quote: Looks like we won't be seeing this till 2010.
i agree, probably after C5 next fallish. But they are supposingly planning on showing alot of the game at E3 this year. _______________ 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#??" |

*Warning possible KOTOR2 Spoilers*
well we have to assume the player are all knights, not masters, and given what we've seen in the KOTOR timeperiod specific said by Atton. "Jedi are not all that hard to kill" he goes into a big speech of how he goes about killing them. But if Atton knew best believe the sith knew and the Republic trained its soldiers to know the weakness of the jedi which is basically the weakness of the sith. I'm making alot of assumptions here but yea...lore wise it can work. _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker.

i wonder how they are going to handle the class balance.
in star wars even the best trooper had pretty much no chance of killing a good jedi. in game terms that would be extremely unfair and no one would play gunners (bounty hunters is a different thing tho). while balancing this would be fair for mmo, but it would destroy star wars feel. what could they possibly do? _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Finally an MMO I can get into. I'm really excited for its release.
Quote: ofcourse the most realistic and starwarsish thing would be your death, permanent loss of body parts (that would actually rock lol) and things like that. while death wouldnt be right in a game i hope some consequences would be as overwhelming as that.

hmmm i wonder how they will make that 'no way back' thing work. i mean if you do some choices and just get different quests or paths... well its gonna be interesting and all, but to make it really matter you should be extremely punished if you screw up or get a path that would reflect it.
ofcourse the most realistic and starwarsish thing would be your death, permanent loss of body parts (that would actually rock lol) and things like that. while death wouldnt be right in a game i hope some consequences would be as overwhelming as that. but i guess it wont be like that, because if lets say you become halfrobot like darth vader, you obviously get some serious drawbacks that cant be changed, respeced etc. which means if in pvp your opponent is some kind of antirobotics expert you would be screwed no matter what. which definitely leads into countless whining threads in forums and in the end devs would allow 'respecing'. it doesnt even matter if advantages of being a halfrobot would be extreme - if there is imbalance they would still fix it. my point is that i dont want those choices to be storyline/quest/whatever only. they should have real impact on the character. the problem is - that might not happen since its a mmo. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Quote: well if they want to show the system itself... id rather hear a little technical stuff.
like what factors really matter. i think its about time they give us some real info instead of saying 'this is the biggest project with the biggest world we ever created' over and over again lol While I agree they have stated their goals several times they have only been officially announced for a short time. That was the 'first' video doc so give them some time and we'll see the other details start to emerge. I'm impressed with what i'm seeing so far, especially as its a way off yet. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?
