I agree with you though that BW have no actual MMORPG experience which is why I fear for it if, whether it is SW related or not.
Bioware's MMO team is basically Star Wars Galaxies' original development team, plus or minus a few people. Take that as you will.

Well, I'll take that as further evidence KOTOR III shouldn't be an MMO.

I'll say this: Think of this game as Galaxies 2 rather than KOTOR 3 and temper your anticipation/excitement/hype accordingly.

For once I'm hoping this is just a rumour. I don't want a MMO KOTOR3.
If it does end up being a MMO then I just pray they do a better job of continuing the story than WoW. I utterly despise the fact I followed the story of Arthas and Illidan in a well scripted game like WC3 and have been forced to watch their stories be wrecked through amateur storytelling in WoW.
*****
I can see it now. A line in a future Essential Chronology about how the Dark Lord Darth Revan returned to the dark side and was finally defeated by a party of twenty five random adventurers including a Teras Kasi Master, a Rifleman and a Politician.
 Good analogy there...

If KotOR 3 is an MMO, I hope its set in the NSW and has nothing to do with Revan and the Exile.
The "Old Republic" is a long period of time, after all.
The KOTOR brand has never stood for the entirety of the Old Republic time period, but for a specific window in that timeframe.
Don't forget that they've used the KOTOR name to sell things like the Darth Bane novels.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see KOTOR: Clone Wars. If I do though then its going to confirm that both parts of the name are just to cash in on existing cash cows.
As for the stuff about it being the original SWG team... I will just say:

Can you source that? I never heard of that before and I generally try to keep up to date with the topic.

Ooof. I'm a rabid KOTOR fan and would love to see any continuation of the story, but as an MMO...one of the many problems that plagued SWG was how restricted it was by being set in such a specific point in the chronology. I haven't played in a long time so they may have worked something out, but it felt like you were spinning your wheels in a 'frozen' universe. One of the appeals of KOTOR was watching your Revan, Exile, and party respond to both your actions and their ramifications. I can't imagine that happening in an MMO, unless all the players were bit parts in an overarching storyline that affected the main characters.
I hadn't heard that about the Bioware/SWG team connection either. Plus I know Sony had a hand in it on some level. Anyways...being the rabid KOTOR fan that I am, I'll be drooling no matter what they throw at me.

Man CRAP!!! I wanted a BIOWARE MMORPG SOOOO BAD! I loved SWG in it's 1st year - year 1/2.. I was sooo sucked in. I played on radiant w/ about 5 local buds and family.. I dunno if i loved it soo much because it was a new & exciting MMO or because it was soo Star Wars.. I'd never played a MMO prior or after for that matter...But my SWG time is cherrished...
---Why KOTOR 3 over A new SW MMO?? WTElbows!! a NEW Star Wars MMO will last years..KOTOR will last days. Umm??
--KOTOR 3 is guaranteed.. Bioware SW mmo is not. SO wouldn't a BioWare SW MMO be unber exciting? Now we most likely aren't getting a Bioware SW MMO..BAH!
--ALSO, KOTOR 2 was really mediocre compaired to KOTOR 1.. The music was not even close. Who doesn't rememebr how awesome Dantooines music was? i still recall the laid back Portishead type beat...
---Kotor 2 was unfinished & it showed. Had it been complete MAN what a game.. Very very deep with the force(facts).. But the Exile just isn't nearly as exciting as a Whole jedi order in operation.. I hated that about KOTOR--2. There's only a handful o' jedi & they're scattered..
--I dunno..I loved KOTOR-2's potential, but i didn't have nearly as much fun.. I also loved how they expanded on the level up stuff like skills and force powers...
---I'm atlast getting a new computer soon & i look forward to playing KOTOR-2 with all the graphics & sound JACKED UP...
--I'm excited about KOTOR-3 but i'm very saddened about NO Bioware SW mmo.. My wife said she would even play a new SW mmo too.. And that's very very rare.. Imagine a wife addicted to a SW mmo game? Look Ma, TOP O' THE WORLD!!

Huh?
Right now, there isn't anything to suggest that there is a single player KOTOR III on its way. The current rumour is that it's an MMO!
Apart from that, I would hate nothing more than seeing KOTOR turned into an MMO. An MMO in the time period of KOTOR, fine, but not as an replacement for a real KOTOR III with an actual story.

Thusfar.
There's no reason for that not to change and, as Zor says, PoD is billed as "A Novel of the Old Republic".
I find it highly unlikely that they would make a NSW RPG (MMO or otherwise) and not use the KotOR brand. They'd be utter fools not to.
Edit: And, truthfully, I think the brand should be extended to cover the entire "Old Republic Era" (though not the "Rise of the Empire Era", mind you). It means they'd escape the silly need to make every KotOR game something of a direct sequel to the last even when there's no need, ala KotOR 2.

I thought it was announced as "in developement"..
- Guess i want my cake & eat it too. I want both..
----Since reading this thread i decided to play KOTOR 1 & 2 again.. Anything different to try?
-I went Light, then dark, & w/ KOTOR2 i went pistols and used Attin and the good droid. Suggestions for my 4th go round? Maybe dark with pistols or rifles?
