+ I believe it has been stated (I'm not up to finding the article) by LA that this is not true.

That's funny though, because Bioware actually does not deny or confirm it, perhaps they're trying to ride a possible rumor to enhance their popularity? or maybe there actually is one, and LA/Bioware slipped on their PR co-ordination....

either way, it's a fun thought :)

Bioware did not have the time to make NWN2 or KOTOR2 as they working hard on other games(Jade emipre/Masseffect) and recomended Obsidian to make the two games as they have worked with them in the pass. Now Obsidian do have plans on making KOTOR3 if LA let them. They also use biowares game engines so work very closly with bioware making games

Bioware don't need pr stunts to ramp their popularity. Their success at banging out top notch high quality games is more than enough

If this is true Im guess we wont hear an official word for a couple more years, or at least until they are ready to start beta.  Current SWG is slowly and painfully starting to bring in numbers, but is ultimately a shell of its former self.  If LA and Bioware announce that they are developing a MMO and it will be out in lets say a year (probly not the case, but just for argument sake) SWG will see next to  zero new subscriptions being activated and people will drop like flies because who wants to start a new character that is going to be gone for good in a year?

If Bioware is making this game I think they have a MASSIVE undertaking ahead of them.  The Star Wars fans are starving, BADLY, for a MMO that does the Star wars name justice.  They will probly spend the amount of time that is actually required on a game to properly alpha and beta test so Im not expecting the game for another 2-3 years, if it is a star wars MMO great, if it isnt I'll be happy as long as it isnt a freakin fantasy game

Im guessing we will see MAYBE one more publish for SWG, and then the game will slowly wither away after so many terrible years on life support.  This is all of course if the rumors are true...and dear god I hope they are.
