Well, it seems as though the cat has finally been let out of the bag as John Riccitiello, the CEO of Electronic Arts, told portfolio.com that the upcoming MMORPG from Bioware was indeed Knights of the Old Republic.

MMORPG.com will continue to follow this story as it develops.

"We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development," said Riccitiello. The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. "And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about -- in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it."

Does Riccitiello mean the oft rumored Knights of the Old Republic Online?  "Yes," he said.

Again I say:

If there are ANY playable Jedi, the game is over before it began.

Goozex.com Try it, you'll like it.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

The more laws, the less justice

The game will not be named KOTOR but simply "The Old Republic".

I like KoToR better!

I find it quite amusing that the game has hardly been announced, and already people are predicting its doom.

 

Chill out everyone. You don't even know what BioWare is planning exactly. What if it's like the KotoR series and players are ALL jedi, only with different skillsets?

 

Let's keep the speculaltion down until they actually announce something, hm?
