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.

I disagree. WoW was able to be very successful while still adding things to lore. Also, Final Fantasy XI has a well-written, contained story as well.

All the more reason to set it during the NSW. You have untold numbers of Darths running around for a thousand years. So much happened, and we really don't know much of it, so if you just make the MMO take place in an empty part of the era, they could be free to do almost anything.
And at the same time it wouldn't cramp the style of those of us who want to see a conclusion to KOTOR I and II, but don't want to play an MMO.

I'm not a big fan of MMOs.
I'd much rather them focus on make KOTOR 3. OR Knights of the NEW Republic

I agree.
STILL, even if the game was set in the NSW, I'd want there to be a special "rule" that was introduced if you named yourself Darth:
"If you entitle yourself 'Darth' your character will be permanently deleted on death. Also, other players recieve double XP for taking you down."
I think that would be a pretty brilliant way of converting what Kas'im said about the claiming of "Darth" into a gameplay feature, and it would be a deterrent for everyone and his uncle taking the title. 
It would also make the majority of Darths *scary powerful* motherkarkers, since few would name themselves as such unless really did have "1337 skillz".

In addition to no clue what's wrong with Star Wars Galaxies, I hope this is the third and final installment of Knights of the Old Republic. I think that they should have simply done the end of Reven as an expansion pack because I'd hate a THIRD game where I have to start as someone I barely know and I slowly find out the history for following in the footsteps of the original two. It was bad enough with the Exile.
Better to not have any game whatsoever and leave it in mystery or do this.

I hope they don't finish off the "Revan/Exile" storyline through this MMO.
KOTOR was fantastic because of its story(s). MMOs don't translate as well into storytelling.

It wasn't fun.
I started playing it when it first started, and I didn't really know anything about the EU. I didn't give a damn what species Zekka Thyne was or what skin color Moff Declann had. The game had great graphics for an MMO, but it lagged like hell no matter what computer I was using and grinding was the pits. It was pretty much just "Hi, I'm so-and-so, go kill 50 sand fleas for me" at every NPC. There was no story! And there were what.. three different building interiors in the whole game?
I canceled Galaxies after the trial and played WoW for a time, which has horrendously goofy cartoon graphics but doesn't lag (at least for me) and has clever, creative quests and tons of different environments. After becoming an EU junkie I tried to play Galaxies again for about a year, and it still hadn't improved at all. After a while I was only playing it so I could see Thrawn. (Which turned out something like "Hi, I'm Thrawn, go kill 50 sand flees for me.")
Hmph. Anyway. I really hope LA learned from their mistakes in Galaxies. Although they never seemed to admit they had any to begin with.

Sand Fleas, you say? They wouldn't happen to be related to sand flies, would they?

I agree too. There is nothing so annoying then meeting the umpteenth player named "Darth."
I personally think there should either be a ban on the Darth title, or you only get it if you are a Dark-Jedi and you have reached a certain level. That way when you do meet with a "Darth," they will have earned that title and they will be as powerful as that title is supposed to suggest.

My memory must be slipping. Of course, they were flies! I can't tell you how many times I was sucked dry in the grinding process...
