Yeah, sure, BioWare is making a KOTOR MMO.

Also, they're hiring John Smedley to run it, seeing as SOE has been bought by the Kwik-E-Mart folks...

CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.

EQ2, SWG, CoH, CoV, 9 Dragons, LoTRO, MXO, Planetside, GW, and many more...

KOTOR MMO would be great. Unfortunatly with Smed involved I would hope everyone would Boycott it till they got rid of him. I dont usually advocate such a thing but I for one am sick of Smeds excuses and apologies.

Anyway it goes I would not play it until I saw what all ya'll on MMORPG.com had to say about it.

I'm afraid that the bigger game companies are just mesmerized by WoW, and any startup cash for a new company will have to deal with moneymen who are mesmerized by WoW.

So, look forward, for the present, at least, to an endless stream of WoW clones, each hoping to somehow out-WoW WoW and get some of those sweet, sweet subscription numbers.

The NGE showed us, unfortunately, what the trend in the MMO industry is.  Slavish attempts to be like WoW, except with amaturish graphics.

What is your definition of a WoW clone?

-Currently playing WaR. I like it. I don't care if you don't. No, I don't think your a troll just because you don't like it, I simply don't care that you don't like it. This does not make me a fanboi.

  Sadly I have to agree with you. This trend will probably keep going until some small developer decides that they are ok with 200k -300k subs and makes a great game that far surpasses those expectations. At that point we will see a flood of those types of games. 

 

 

Im holding out hope for Fallen Earth. At least its not a regurgitated fantasy setting.
