[QUOTE="lobobizarro"]yeah... i played SWG too. it DID have its moments... but recently it is quickly fading to black. and since the STAR WARS liscence has SOOOO much potential for a great mmo, why wouldnt a devloper strive to make a new one?? i think the KOTOR universe is a great setting for an MMO. and frankly to the other posters hating on this unannounced game... i would much rather have a KOTOR mmo developed by bioware than a KOTOR 3 RPG developed by obsidianReally doubt SOE will stay idle and let this happen. SOE owns the rights for the Star Wars MMO, even if it is named KOTOR MMO. The only way this can be true is SOE and Lucas Arts pulling the plug on SW:G (which I gave a good few years to). I wouldn't mind. SW:G had it's moments, but I think a new Star Wars MMO should be brought into the fray that will capture teh essense that IS Star Wars, and not mutilate it like Galaxies did. Want a Franchise Game with MAJOR continuity issues? SW:G is for you! At least with KOTOR it sets the timeline after Ulic Qel-droma and Nomi Sunrider and Exar Kun, and it's pretty much uncharted area and a good setting for a Star Wars MMO. Galaxies' problem was the timeframe they made it in, really hard not to frack up with what already happend or will happen. A KOTOR MMO will have WAY more freedom.
But, I still think it is bogus. I doubt SOE will let go of a Star Wars MMO, even if it a shell of what it used to be. 100k Jedi running frely after they are supposed to be extint! SOE and Lucas Arts made a KOTOR: Galaxies w/o knowing it. I would call for a remake. And it better have XvT quality space combat!

No way. I think Obsidian did a great job with KOTOR 2, and quite frankly an MMO would be alright, but there's no way I would perfer an MMO over a RPG sequal to one of my favorite RPG series. There's just no way.
