If its a Star Wars MMO.. you can be sure it will be WoW with star wars textures from the start.  So they don't need to have an NGE later.

lol!  Can we please hold off the 'epic fail' claims until after the 21st?   You know, just wait until we atleast get the info.

Couple threads with some good info on what may come.

www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/95717/page/1 Look at post 32.

Well when the 21st comes and it is official it will be a great day for us Star Wars fans that were such diehard fans of SWG in the beginning before the game was shredded by NGE. I really hope they go with the KOTOR timeperiod. I have anyways thought the timeperiod they chose for SWG was the worst possible one they could have gone with. KOTOR will allow Jedi to roam freely and the Sith.....well we all know where that rabbit hole leads

i agree....alpha classes and jedi should never be player controlled characters. Unless you have a limit or high penalty for being one. I am more of a post ep6 fan....hand of thrawn era would be great :D

You make it sound like their existing fanbase won't be interested in the MMO once details emerge. I think most BioWare fans will, though (minus the handful of diehards, of course). In fact, I'd say this game will have more in common with their previous games than it will any existing MMOs.

Ooo.

Same day as LittleBigPlanet.

That right there is a double day of happy.

YAY! another MMO gamers will overhype to failure...

I'm just going on what I see across various game sites and there own. Some of the KOTOR fans are not happy about it being an MMO, though I assume some will be converts once they try it.

I think most BioWare fans are/would be angry if the MMO would be made -INSTEAD- of a part three to wrap up the story that has been told in the KOTOR games. The question remains however if that will be the case. Nobody knows for certain after all. There could be a singleplayer KOTOR as well as an MMO set in the Old Republic timeframe.

Bottom line, I suppose we'll have to wait till the 21st. One should hope a lot of answers will be given then.

Or worse, set in a certain period in the timeline that people don't want?

I hope it is a star wars mmorpg and that it set similar to KOTOR.  Can't wait...........................

 

I'm guessing alot of pissed off fans

What do you mean worse if certain period of time that people don't want? I bet people are more pissed if it isn't Star Wars MMO.

 

Worse. How about star wars mmorpg based of the Ewoks Christmas Special?! *puke*

I love those furrballs

No seriously. No one will ever make ewok MMO! No one can be that stupid .. can they?

I don't remember ewoks in that, it was actually about Wookiees and Chewie trying to get home to Kashyyk for Life Day. xD

Oh, I definitely agree that there are forums out there that are full of angry KOTOR fans that are pissed as hell that they might not get another single player game. I believe them to be a minority, however.

The way I see it--the number of players unwilling to take a look at an MMO KOTOR are probably about the same as the number of players unwilling to take a look at it  if it isn't a sandbox. In other words, not that many.

If you expect more than that, then you are fooling yourself.

No one other than the developers know what the game will be like. Your statement is a bit premature.

While this is true, it is actually pretty easy to hazard sme guesses at what kind of game this will be. BioWare has certain strong points, and they would be fools not to follow up on those. They are excellent story-tellers and they have already told the media that they are not looking to make a world-simulator.

*shrugs* Some people won't like that. For me, it'll be interesting to follow and see if they can manage to actually keep their excellent level of storytelling in an MMO. That coupled with player-choices that affect the story and the character itself is what I am looking forward to.

I would love to see a scan of the press release sent out to the press.  Anyone find anything like that?

It's about freakin time!  I guess they were just waiting until after Force Unleashed came out so not to steal its thunder.  Looking forward to it.

Maybe so, but I bet it had something to do with getting the big name MMO's of the year out of the way first.  You've got AoC now Live, and it was... well... it needs a lot of work.  And now WAR is out, and it has turned out to be a WoW clone with heavier and more pronounced PvP.  WotLK is it's only competition in "anticipation" now, but it's just more of the same from Blizzard, so it's hardly as exciting as a new MMO.

I hope it's a new Star Wars MMO.  How great would that be?

Heh, it would be pretty funny if it turned out to be a Willow MMORPG.

And so it is, according to the EA CEO. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarsgalaxiesaned/news.html?sid=6194664

We'll see. Hope it turns out to be what you want in a game. I'll pass though, not my style.

I just find it funny that the game has not been officially announced and no specs released yet some people have already condemned it.

www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php maybe (a) or (the SW) MMO, maybe not, we shall see.

 

LucasArts' and BioWare's long-awaited, much-discussed joint development project -- widely speculated to be an MMO set in the Star Wars universe circa BioWare's own Knights of the Old Republic -- will be revealed to the press October 21, according to an invitation sent out to media outlets including Gamasutra.

It is likely that the official announcement will come shortly after the October 21 press reveal held at LucasArts' San Francisco offices; events of this nature are frequently subject to a media embargo.

The postcard, which proclaims "The wait is over" and promises "the official unveiling of the game that's been rumored about for years," makes no explicit reference to Star Wars. It is branded with the LucasArts and BioWare logos and depicts floating robots and hooded figures in futuristic interior locations reminiscent of the sci-fi franchise.

The alleged existence of a KOTOR-themed MMO is considered one of the industry's worst-kept secrets, with BioWare parent Electronic Arts' CEO John Riccitiello essentially confirming the title's existence.

Riccitiello called the BioWare/LucasArts effort "quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry," before acknowledging it as a KOTOR MMO.

Development of the joint project is being handled at BioWare's Austin studio, created specifically for MMO development.

 

I do not remember where I read it,but I remember  a statement that they were making a Kotor 3 yes,but not a Kotor MMO. Now I have read alot of speculation on a Star Wars mmo based on The Clone Wars. Now that a TV series is beginning on The Clone Wars my best guess is they are working on a title similar to the TV series. Most likly a game with similar Graphics engine as the TV show which Blows.

A TV show or Movie with those animated graphics is not all that impressive.  But a game with animation and art design like that would be pretty awesome if you ask me.  And... for the record.... I kind of dig the art design for a TV show.  it's sort of a CG equivilent of the former Clone Wars series.

Because that picture I linked has Willow all over it, and Willow has been "the industries worst kept secret" as well as "highly anticipated"
