Really exited, I would've played a new Star Wars mmo anyways, but having it be set in the "old republic" time frame AND the fact tat its made by my favorite developer(Bioware)just makes it too good.
screw that
there is already too much star-wars related games out there
hell, there is an entire expended universe of star-wars fiction beyond the movies
there is ENOUGH star wars as it is
having BioWare waste there time on a star-wars MMO is just pointless at this stage
you want a good franchise to turn into an MMO - use the Mass effect universe

It isn't a Star Wars game, though, it's a Knights of the Old Republic game! And a Mass Effect MMO?bladeofdarkness said:

Short answer, No.
Long answer, Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Yeah, but since Obsidian completely buttfucked the story of the series in KOTOR 2, a KOTOR 3 will probably have to have nothing to do with Revan or the story of the first two.Woodsey said:
The Old Republic could be seen as KOTOR 3,4,5, and 6, if one were to consider it.
They could still continue into what happened to both of them - the basic plot was still there, no matter how much Obsidian raped the second.CosmicCommander said:
Bioware have used that exact line on me before (it being KotOR 3,4,5 and 6) and I'm not buying it. I want the story finished properly, and I want it singleplayer.
There's a world of difference between an MMO and a SP game - you can't sub one for the other.
'What happened to them' may be addressed in the MMO for all we know. But maybe it's better that we don't know, speculation can be extremely fun at this juncture.Woodsey said:
What story is there to be told? And as I said before, that may be addressed in the MMO.Woodsey said:
That's true, but that doesn't mean one may get completely different things out of both, if we get a great story, characters, and universe, dies it matter whether it is MMO or not? But BioWare have said that 90% per cent or so of the game can be done on your own.Woodsey said:
What happened to them was addressed on the website. Revan never returned apparently; I can't think of a less satisfying conclusion. Not to go totally nerdy here, but we're talking about two of the most powerful Jedi ever.CosmicCommander said:
The story is the threat Revan remembered, and where he and the exile went (if the exile did find him). KotOR 2 was so full-to-the-brim of talk about Revan and speculation about him, it's obvious they were building stuff up for a sequel. They even started one but it was scrapped (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/KOTOR_3).
Yes, this MMO sounds good in its attempts to tackle personal stories but I can't pay a subscription fee and at one point or another you're going to run into someone else performing the same quest as you.
Then there's the whole MMO "feel". Its really not the same or as good as what I was hoping for. Especially when SO many were calling for KotOR 3 at one point, and only a few said "an MMO would be interesting...".
That's true, but isn't it possible we may encounter Revan and the Exile somewhere in the game? I wouldn't put it past BioWare to pay homage to all of us KOTOR fanboys. Revan and the Exile may serve as a driving force of the larger story, I consider that a good possibility.Woodsey said:
Absolutely love KOTOR but i wont be getting this. I dont play MMOs, not because i dont like them but for the very opposite reason,i look at most popular MMOs and think 'ye i could really get into this'. I already sink alot of my time into single player RPGs and i know myself-i have very little willpower and i have a tendancy to become obsessed with whatever im playing at the time. There are lots of people out there for whom playing at MMO becomes a lifestyle,and i know that if i were to take one up theres a fair chance i would become one of those people.
So to summarise,yes i think its going to be good,yes i love the series,but no i will not be playing it.

There may be ways in the Star Wars universe where long-term incapacitation or an unnatural utilization of the Force may be able to ensure existence for the long-term...Woodsey said:
...Of course it will be at a price.
If this were a perfect world, instead of making The Old Republic they would re-release KOTOR 1 and 2 for PC/consoles and make it so your decisions matter like they do in Mass Effect. Then in KOTOR 3, Revan and the Exile's actions could be referenced all the time, and maybe they could be party mates who impart wisdom on you.
Or something.
I think it would be cool.

Anyone remember SW:G? It didn't turn out to well. I love KOTOR, and I have high hopes of old republic, but I'm skeptical. Single player games don't usually translate to well into MMOs. I'll wail a little bit, look at reviews, then maybe give the free trial a spin. Depending on those, I may or may not get it.
EDIT: Hopefully they don't have buggy expansion packs (I"M LOOKING AT YOU TURBINE), or have a bunch of paying DLC in addition to the game (and monthly fee) like dragons age(I really want Ostagar back, but I don't want to pay $5 for it), or have in game salespeople. I'd like a big expansion maybe every 1 1/2-2 years and a bunch of minor patches (extra planets/dungeons/instances) throughout/
