I originally posted it in my BioWare MMO thread which is in the Rumor section, thus is rarely noticed.. so I thought I'd post it here as well.

The king and the pawn go back to the same box at the end of the day. |
I'll freak out if this comes true, I feel it in my gut that it is. One of the biggest, if not biggest IP's, needs to have an MMO. It was destined for Starwars fans worldwide. Please lucas make it so. |

Could also be nothing more than a singleplayer shooter with online capability, i.e Battlefront. |

Who knows if any of this info is really worth a damn, but here's another update from 'Jawars' on the BioWare forums: "AN UPDATE from the EUcantina post about the Trademarks: The post on that site reads: " YOU HEARD ME!
I recently took a Survey about a game on SurveySpot. I usually delete this crap but was bored. I tried to copy/paste the description but naturally it was blocked. Here is the information I can recall even though I had to agree NOT to share said information. Screw that. Next-Gen was in the article about 1000 times along with mentioning SWG all over the place. Setting: 3500 years before Vader Title: Star Wars: The Old Republic (no not that crap one you'll find with google) Features I remember: 8 professions-smuggler and BH stick out immediately Functional Light side/ Dark side- npcs and others remember what you do and their reactions change accordingly. Legacy system. When you reach top level, apparently you have the option of producing an offspring with special bonus traits and starting over...or something to that effect. Companion: Han had Chewy, Luke had R2...blah blah....someone to accompany you. Potential for romance sticks out as something oddly unique Fully customizable ship. Can be bought or stolen!! No more miles of reading text. Events happen in game with full voice overs. Sounds damn impossible if you ask me. Full grouping ala any damn MMO Some sort of minigame that is used to influence others?? Not many details on that one. well, there were 10 major points we had to vote on and classify in order of what we liked the best. These are the only ones I remember. So, could we have something here?? It sounds cool to me!! 1/2 of it was "would you pay 39.99 for game and 12.95 for sub?" and stuff. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!WOOOOT!!! anyone else take the survey? It may still be up at surveyspot -New video game survey was title. Any thoughts???" Again, take everything on the internet with a scoop of salt but hey just in case anyone's interested, here it is :) |

I dont need to |
You realize of course that this could be nothing more than a formality in case they ever decide to do something with any of these games. It's nice to speculate, but it's nothing more than speculation. |

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic |
That legacy system, ship building and companion thing would be cool to have. |

Good lord.
LET.
STAR WARS.
DIE.
Seriously, the IP is old, worn out, now very trite and just flat out dull. TIme to create a new universe, a new world to explore and write books about and film movies about. Let Star Wars die. It was fun while it lasted, now let it RIP. |

a "legacy system" such as that would blow. CoX already has that for an "end game". You hit the level cap and start over. Its one of the biggest complaints the players have about the game. Its funny to think that any serious game developer would actually consider such a thing......oh wait, StarGateWorlds is |
