	I'm going to space this out and put some important articles in here So far, the game has only been confirmed for PC, but if it get announced for consoles, I'll change the thread title. Originally: KOTOR MMO - Official Thread Now officially confirmed. Speculation over. Originally from portfolio.com where EA's Chief Executive John Riccitiello claims that EA's Warhammer MMO and KOTOR MMO will be the biggest things ever. Subsequently reported on: videogaming247.com rockpapershotgun.com theforce.net gamespot.com ign.com EA/Bioware are developing for LucasArts. They want it to rival World of Warcraft. After all the time I spent locking the "omg kotor 2 will there be a kotor 3" threads, i'm glad that they've finally let the cat out of the bag, and personally look forward to seeing news on the game trickle out from here on in. -----signature----- RichSC - "Kif!

	Best news of the last years ! Oh and as I already said in the other thread, I found that the name will be The Old Republic, not Knights of the Old Republic, if you want to correct the title.

	Interesting, but I hope this is separate from KotOR III (MMOs won't be in the budget for a while). Still, excellent news. -----signature----- Life is meant to lived, not graded. ~ lexu I AM AN ASSASSIN (shh)

I'm not a fan of MMOs and probably won't purchase it, but I'm glad there is something brewing in the KOTOR era. Anyway, it would be insane for lucasarts not to make KOTOR III, just for $$$ reasons alone...

	They'll make a lot more money with a MMORPG and as a SWG and KotOR former player I can say that SWG was more interesting and a lot, lot longer than a simple RPG. It's a normal evolution.

	I don't know how I feel about the MMO. I mean, I don't have Xbox live and I'm not exactly willing to pay for online multiplayer if they make a PC version. If you don't have to pay monthly like galaxies, then I'll buy it for sure. Either way, I'm just glad it's finally been confirmed. If they are making another one, thats just another SW game and theres nothing wrong with that. Also, this ends, like SoloCommand said, all the annoying KOTOR III threads that having been popping up more and more in the last weeks. -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader

That's my plan. I don't want to pay a monthly fee to play something I payed $50.00 for, so if they go the Guild Wars route, I'm cool, otherwise, no sale. -----signature----- Life is meant to lived, not graded. ~ lexu I AM AN ASSASSIN (shh)

	Dammit. I thought I was out of the MMO game for good, and they had to go and do this. Thank Christ they confirmed it, instead of boning me over. And BioWare? Holy hell. -----signature----- "If there's one thing I hate, it's losing. If there's TWO things I hate, it's losing and getting cancer." - Kenny Powers

I'm sorry, I hate to be so negative, but if this is KotOR III I'm done with the series. I for one can not comprehend how they can take the cliffhanger at the end of II and make it into a MMORPG. It just..... doesn't work. I have been waiting patiently for KotOR III for years, and I would rather keep on waiting, then have this be what we get.

	Apparently this is called The Old Republic which could just be a shortened name for it while it's in production, but I'm hoping this is a different game all together. It would be cool to kinda have a galaxies thing, with no monthly fee, and have it based within the old Republic. But I don't think this is Knights of the Old Republic, because I don't see how a KOTOR game could be a MMO. -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader

Bioware said they're not ever going to be working on KOTOR 3. Most likely, Obsidian will. -----signature----- "Those of us who don't believe in science are being attacked by forces we don't understand...like momentum, acceleration, and gravity."

	I'm not going to pass judgment on this new game until we get more info on it. But I would much prefer a true KOTOR3 than a new Star Wars MMO. -----signature----- "A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto San Jose Sharks:12-4-2 Defending President's Trophy Winners

	darth_grievous1 posted: Interesting, but I hope this is separate from KotOR III (MMOs won't be in the budget for a while). Still, excellent news. Well, the article states that: "[the game] will most certainly have a massively multiplayer online component to it." Does 'component' not imply that only part of the game will be based around MMO gameplay? In my opinion, this, and the fact that "BioWare's vision is to deliver the best story-driven games in the world" (from bioware.com) imply that one of two things could occur: One, this game will be part MMO, part SPRPG. Maybe you could enter a MMO world after finishing the singleplayer, story-oriented component, or maybe it is just separate completely, albeit set in the same era. Two, the KotOR MMO is a spinoff of the KotOR series, and we'll see a KotOR III game sometime in the future. Or maybe EA is just ruining a perfectly good SPRPG Franchise, it is not unlike them. Personally, I'm hoping that somewhere there will be a singleplayer aspect to it, I mean, KotOR just won't be KotOR if it was like WoW, won't it? Regardless, this is good news at its best.

	Apparently this has been known for quite some time in the industry. I've heard it's NOT KOTOR 3 at all, but a MMO set in the Old Republic galaxy. Their Austin studio is working on it, the Edmonton studio is working on something non-SW related. AI've heard confirmation they aren't working on KOTOR3. -----signature----- Dustin + Tina = 5 years of marriage Obama given First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence
