Burnout (Criterion)

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

EA Sports Original Property x 4

EA Sports Casual Original Property

Lord of the Rings (Pandemic)

MySims Creator

MySims Kingdom

MySims Party

MySims PC

Need For Speed

New MMO (BioWare)

Rock Band (Harmonix)

Sim Animals

Skate 2

Spore Next-Gen for Consoles

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (BioWare)

Actually, I'd think that more or less proves that it won't be KOTOR Online but the long awaited conclusion to the KOTOR Singleplayer Series. Which is also a good thing, though I was hoping for a good KOTOR Online. ^_^

Still, it's not exactly certainty on the subject. It does lead me to believe though, that the MMO will NOT be KOTOR.

Says New MMO(Bioware) above Kotor, so i have a hard time believeing that it will be Kotor:online.  I won't hold my breath till I hear an actual title from an official source

I would love it to be true, but my honest opinion says opposite.  I do believe there will be another SW mmo at some point in the next 30 years, but I don't see it happening anytime soon at all.  SWG still has a decent following (believe it or not).  Any new SW mmo would pretty much put the dagger in the coffin for SWG. 

SWG might have a 'decent' following yet, but most consider the 2 changes made to have destroyed it. 

There are many people who would sign up for a kotor mmo, simply because it's Star Wars,  many more because it's being developed by BioWare.

Lucasarts would make a lot of money on this, and they could still lease the rights to SOE for galaxies, earning just that much more money.

Since the last post, a good amount of information has been collected on this forum:
