General Discussion

Say what now??

If it's made by bioware and is anything like KOTOR I and II then I'll be buying this game, exterminating all of my former friends, build myself a $5,000 dollar computer and just sit there until I die of starvation. Probably the neatest thing I've ever heard of for MMOs in a long time... this could be simply amazing.

I realize I'm a little late in the ball-game when it comes to figuring this out, but what do others think about with a KOTOR MMO? Have any hype / interest in something like this? Would you prefer it to be a SP RPG like it has been for the past two games? Do you think bioware would be able to pull something like this off by making a KOTOR that not only exceeds both of it's predecessors by two-fold, but is also made playable in an MMO universe from the SP perspective (which is asking alot)?

I could only hope... and that it's released somewhere before 2011, even that is a long time to wait, but considering info of production is just getting out then I wouldn't think it'd be any sooner.

It's only been announced recently.. but being like most MMOs it'll be rediculously overhyped come Beta time and by release it'll have labels like "Most Innovative Combat System Ever" and such junk attached to it.

If they do it right and focus on ALL the classes not just the Jedi then there's hope for it. Otherwise we'll be stuck (Again *cough*SWG:NGE*cough*) with a million Jedi running around.

Lol aint that the truth.. *curses NGE and feels sick whenever it's mentioned*

Personally i think it could be a damn good idea if done right, more open and multiplayer is all i felt was missing from the SP games of KotOR.

yeah you're right. I'm crossing my fingers that it's going to be awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the KOTOR series.

"It's only been announced recently.." 

That is incorrect, it has not been officially announced yet.  It has been accidentally leaked that Bioware is working on a Star Wars game.  That is about all we know.   We will have to wait for the official announcement until we can speculate further on what form the game will take.

What Ciredric said.  People have inferred a lot from very little official information.  No telling what sort of game they're really working on.

Umm. i may be wrong but wasnt each class in Kotor  all jedi-esk classes.  By this i mean they were all jedi but just focused on a differant aspect of it?

And to be honost if they make it anything like SWG before or after NGE i wont be playing it.

yeah, you are wrong. Carth and Mission are a couple who come to mind who were not jedi....plus the numerous other characters in both titles.

However, even though they were not jedi, they were perfectly viable in combat, and could hold their own in almost all circumstances. They had abilities that the jedi characters did not, and I'm hoping that this carries over into the MMO. This will give players a reason to play smugglers, commandos, etc, plus help in the construction of well-rounded groups.

I am carefully optimistic about this one....although as the OP stated, it could be the end of Real Life.

Is this a build up to hype? :-p
