| 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. |

New technologies to be used by Bioware's MMO
Thanks to Warcry _______________ 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#??" |

This is not directly related to KOTOR mmo new but means the failures of SWG and how KOTOR mmo can be better if they dont follow the same mistakes.

After listening to the Force-Cast and the story on the next Darth Bane book I did a quick search of James Ohlen who worked on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and found *THIS*, which I thought was interesting and somewhat of a coincidence. _______________ *CLICKEH->Never risk the Fett Man|*Download my Saber here.

I'd like to believe this but we've all seen this before, "A guy on a forum Im on has a buddie who's aunt sells muffins in the cafeteria at Pandemic and she told him, blah blah blah..."
I hope something solid comes out soon. Ooh that last bit sounds like a medical problem.  _______________ *CLICKEH->Never risk the Fett Man|*Download my Saber here.

KOTOR 3 information  , I believe the information is alittle off and instead it will be the MMO, but KOTOR 3 would work also

I think with all the hype that will be the 08 mass media release of "The Force Unleashed" game, books, comics and toys, there wont be much room for anything else. So from a marketing standpoint I don't think it will be any time soon that we see a KoToR MMO. It would not make good business sense to compete with yourself. _______________ *CLICKEH->Never risk the Fett Man|*Download my Saber here.

I read it somewhere(I believe MMORPG.COM) that LucasArts forces SOE to change Galaxies, I hear it will be much more like before (around The Jump to Light Speed expansion) and they will drop many new features.
So SOE did not loose the rights, LA forces them to revive the game in one way or the other. _______________ Proud owner of Malak's 50th and special 300th, Alex D'Kana's 3600th and 4000th, Laziana's 200th and [Jawa][Obi-Wan][SW]'s 1300th comment. |

Quote: I just hope that whoever does make the next KOTOR game that Lucasarts actually let's them finish the game this time.
I know right! I was pissed with KOTOR II. I had to start over at an autosave spot because I got stuck in an area that glitched out. Not to mention the entire game's graphics were out of wack on my pc. I hope a new game can redeem that one.  _______________ RIP MOM 06/29/58-07/31/08 Married to Koyi Donita 4/30/11 |

Yeah from what I hear they really screwed up KOTOR II, lets hope they can make it right with giving us KOTOR III MMORPG. I think if they had have released KOTOR as an MMO instead of changing Galaxies it would have made people a lot happier. _______________ *CLICKEH->Never risk the Fett Man|*Download my Saber here.

Wishful thinking that Bioware would "directly" be involved with another KOTOR (online or not). Yet, the improbable has happened and developers always try to stir the public away from the truth. Possible? Sure. Probable? Not really. I'm keeping my eye on mass effect for the time being, anyways. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Comment made in March
About 2/3 of the way down. Quote: How about I prove you wrong by saying that we are not working on KotOR 3 and have no plans to start? It may be a rumor or w hope or w wish or whatever, but we are not currently working on KotOR 3 and we have no plans to work on KotPR 3 at this (or any afaik) time. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

As long as SOE doesn't get its hands on it, it sounds like a good idea. |
