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. |

True story...now stop being whiners cause each of you complaining, saying its going to be terrible are gonna be on my server killing stuff with me, loving every second of it =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.

Well we should keep in mind that Bioware's developing it, and any accomplished gamer knows that Bioware knows what they're doing.

indeed. why is kotor special? storyline , choices you make in the storyline, companions, dialogs. neither of those can be accomplished in a mmo. well atleast not to the kotor level. I can name mmo's that contain those aspects in them, and with polish they can be made to KOTOR level. Stop judging the game. No information at all has been released. We know it is going have an mmo COMPONENT. Meaning that there will be singleplayer too. well i just look at the past thats all. like i said earlier... unless its something totally unexpected, nextgen, whatever - its goin to fail. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Besides, blizzard showed that you can make a successful MMORPG even out of a purely RTS-oriented gaming series. well the lore is very strong in both warcraft and star wars, but the thing is... its not the lore itself that makes kotor... a kotor lol its the things i mentioned before. now it looks as if game is called kotor only because its best seller. why couldnt it be... 'starwars galaxies 2' ? _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Well, i guess it's pretty safe to say that there'll be a kotor mmo instead of a normal sequel. To me, this is of course very bad news and a major disappointment, since i was cheering for a legendary sp experience instead.

If its being made by EA i hope it doesnt turn out crap, im just saying this because EA has ruined many good games, the most known Command & Conquer for example. This comment was edited by Rick Shan on Jul 18 2008 10:11am. |

Don't think it'll be too long till we get an anouncement on this mystery MM0G project. It seems likely that whether it treads all over the KotOR series or not (i'm choosing to believe the latter), it will be replacing SWG which is still a rapidly sinking ship by all accounts. _______________ 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?

I am trying to look for the article that I saw it but another reason why they have yet to confirm or deny the Bioware/LucasArt MMO is Lucasart's license with SOE on SWG. There may be a clause in there regarding not annoucing a sequel and/or next gen star wars mmo. If I remember correctly their contract ends in 2009. Like I said I will try to find the article that says this but until then another rumor in the neverending pool of hopes and dreams. Also here is a fun site I found meant to gather information regarding the kotor mmo.

I find it interesting that it's been over a week now since the former Lucasarts employee's spilled the beans and there has been no official statement denying it from LA. _______________ *CLICKEH->Never risk the Fett Man|*Download my Saber here.

I can't see whats new there. We already know Bioware (owned by EA) are producing an MMO for LucasArts. We just don't know what it will be. Signs seem to suggest KotOR but we'll see. _______________ 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?
