According to Bioware's website, they are working on an MMO as well as a new colloboration with LucasArts; i.e., these are seperate games.

Which is distinctly not the same as "The Star Wars: Galaxies team is working for Bioware on their new MMO". ^^

Personally I don't think the "KOTOR MMORPG" is the same as "KOTOR 3".
There were rumours of a Clone Wars based MMORPG at the start of the year. If true, I feel it is more likely to be that, just with the "KOTOR" label slapped on it as well in order to maximise sales and audience exposure.
Star Wars fans? Check.
KOTOR specific fans? Check.
Clone Wars specific fans? Check.
I hope I'm wrong. I'd much rather an MMORPG set during the New Sith Wars (though I'd settle for the Jedi Civil War if we got to see more Revan and Malak). I don't want a "KOTOR 3 MMORPG" though for the same reason WoW has ruined WC3 and FT for me.
Lich King killed by 25 random n00bs = the lose. 
True Sith killed by 25 random n00bs? Just no. Please, no.

I want to be optimistic so badly , but I'm worried this could go the way of Galaxies.

Assuming this is set during the KotOR period we know, I imagine it'll be set in the Jedi Civil War, yeah. That's the KotOR-period in which they can best cash in on the iconic KotOR characters like Darth Revan, Malak and Bastila.
It also means we don't have to worry about major characters getting "pwned", though I wouldn't be surprised if they retconned the way Malak lost his jaw to a group effort. 
Edit: And I'm with you on the Lich King, 100%. Utterly ridiculous! He is to be defeated in Warcraft IV and Warcraft IV alone. 
Edit2:Quick aside. If Revan is featured, and has a voiced role, I hope his mask/helmet gives his voice Vader-style reverb.

Yeah, I really hope that this is just a MMO in the KOTOR era and not KOTOR 3.

I just found out about the new KOTOR MMO. WOOT. this may I stress may tear me away from World of Warcraft. All Bioware has to do is put a Star wars skin on World of Warcraft. Horde vs alliance becomes Jedi vs sith and each zone is it's own seperate planet. That might work. I can't wait for this!!

I hate this thread so much.
Every time I see it back on the first page, my heart leaps into my throat in an involuntary surge of adrenalin and hope. Then I read the latest false alarm, and am once again painfully reminded of what a fool I am.
When it comes to disappointing, this thread never fails to disappoint.

When BioWare's MMORPG is finally released (be it Star Wars or not) the one thing I must say I'm not expecting is a WoW clone. Other companies have been there, done that, given us LotR and soon Warhammer. I pretty much expect BioWare to attempt something revolutionary, since that's just how they do things.
Of course, at the same time, they might play it safe and realise MMORPGs are such untested waters still that apart from the WoW formula nothing else has brought in such massive amounts of money. I just feel BioWare are probably going to want to try and do the "Next Gen MMORPG".
Personally, I'd not be that surprised if they attempted some sort of Mass Effect style MMORPG. It'd be a standard RPG at heart, much like WoW, but with far more FPS based elements, which would appeal to the Halo and other FPS multiplayer junkies. I'd actually be very curious how such a game would work, as we've never seen a MMORPG of that sort before.
ME was a massive step forward in the RPG genre, so a MMORPG based on its style of gameplay could well present a viable alternative to WoW, appeal to a wider audience than just the pure RPG buffs and avoid the "WoW clone" label that Warhammer Online's already got even when it isn't out yet. The only trouble would be working in a decent close combat system to include lightsabers.

Let's just hope it doesn't go down the same road as Galaxies, I can still remember the hype and excitement before it was launched.

Yeah, I'm with Zor on this.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a heavy emphasis on a cinematic style quests/story, too.
Though now, I'm thinking... if they set this game in the Jedi Civil War era... will they ban the use of the word "Darth" in character names? S'only supposed to be Revan and Malak after all.
Heh. The funny thing is, I bet that would tick of loads of people. XD

This whole thing makes me rather  I won't buy it, won't play it, so it has little appeal, especially since the MMO style tends to make it difficult to have good, canon-affecting stories.
