| 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. |

Penny Arcade's Gab "preview" of SWTOR _______________ 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#??" |

Quote: Y'know, I really hate to say it but I'm torn when it comes to this game.
On the one hand you've got these awesome CG trailers with all kinds of action, excitement, thrills, and drama. Then, there's the actual game, which looks like it's the most boring thing to ever have the Star Wars name attached to it. I'll probably still wind up spending money on it, but I'm afraid I'll regret it. I love every Bioware game I've played and I have faith in them, but I'm burned out on the gameplay you see in "traditional" MMO's. If you enjoyed KOTOR at all then the gameplay in TOR is even faster paced. If you were expecting something in the realm of the JK series speed you gotta remember this is a KOTOR series game and is an RPG first, while it does hold to the MMO familiar combat style the intensity feels much faster and the level of fun is amplified by the fact you are almost always fighting multiple mobs. Add to that the fact that every single ability has its own unique animation and combat doesn't feel as repeative as it does in standard MMO's. Basically if you've played it you won't feel like you do, and as someone who been in an early beta then more recently played it at PAX east, the game is very fun, very immersive and you feel like your part of an epic SW RPG while still be able to throw down with tons of your friends. _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker.

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