Knights of the Old Republic? You're kidding me, right? I really hope you just confused the titles and meant just The Old Republic.

I was tempted, but when I saw the gameplay videos that they posted, all I could think of was WoW with a different skin.
So in short no.
In long: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...I'll stop now.

My thoughts exactly. Have Bioware ever made a bad game? Not that I can remember. Have they done a good job with a Star Wars game before? Yes.
All probability states that this will be awesome!

I assume you mean the MMO, and no. I don't play MMOs.
Took the words right out of my mouth. "I don't like MMO games so no I won't be playing it."

Really? One and two? KOTOR 2 was not even properly finished, plot-wise. =/
I will agree that the original KOTOR (which was Bioware's baby, so it's in good hands again) is my favorite game of all time.
Ah, I take it you haven't heard? Fan-made patches/mods/stuff have been released recently that polish up the game to a damn near complete shine. If you liked the first, you have to look it up. The downloads are linked in an Escapist article from a couple months back.

Combat-wise, maybe, but storywise? Have you ever played any BioWare game?

Wait, they are making KOTOR 3!?!?!?!?!
Or are you talking about TOR? Because there is a BIG difference. One I would keel over with a heart attack of pure joy, the other one is a resounding "eh".
One guess on which game gets which response.

Yes KOTOR 1 and Mass effect, but (call me unenlightened) I can't see how an MMO can have plot.

It looks like an MMO relying on gimmicks to sell the game, like Aion. It had the ability to fly, and had pretty graphics.
Anyway, I've seen it labelled as "WoW killer" so it is doomed to failure before it has started. Nothing could topple WoW, it has too large of a fan base, there isn?t going to be a mass exodus onto another game, is there?

Hell yes. The original KOTOR is one of my favorite games of all time, and I think it could be very good as an MMO.

You didn't watch the whole 20 minutes didn't you? Look up the last section, where it shows a Bounty Hunter and Sith Lord working together. Watch it and listen to what the people are saying.

Trust me, it has story.

Seemed more like a mission than a story, but I've just realised how much this seems like I'm trolling the entire MMO genre, so I shall cease.

I played the Sonic RPG they made, which had the terrible curse of Sonic inflicted upon it. It was terrible, despite Bioware's watchful eyes.

Nah, trust me, you're being incredibly civil by comparison to a lot of people I see talking negatively about the genre (and this game). But just to inform you a little more, they've already stated, each class has his/her own KOTOR-length storyline and then some. They also stated most of it can be completed solo, too, so I think all quests/missions requiring multiple players are optional.

It's like KOTOR with optional multiplayer.

Er... the exception that proves the rule? :p
I never understood that saying...

I see no reason why SW:TOR won't be a huge success. Yes I will be playing it, if only for the 1600 hours of story that will, as always, be up to the standard that we've come to expect from Bioware.

Way to mispronounce the name.

I'd love a KotOR III, but it seems I have to contend with other humans on "The Old Republic", which I suppose is basically a KotOR III, but an MMO (seriously, if you can't even get the name right now you are beyond help).
