"Give me control of a nation''s money and I care not who makes the laws" |
Reports are filing into several newsdesks now from former Lucas Arts employees that the Bioware / LA mmo is KOTOR 3. I just want to take this opportunity to remind the good folks here who flamed me, called me a liar, and worse that I was the one who reported this years ago. Here was the last post of mine from another site... http://www.rlmmo.com/viewtopic.php?t=5582 Maybe now when I report something people will give me the benefit of the doubt. Like Ive posted before, Bioware and LA started work on the next Star Wars MMO since December 2005 (right after the NGE). They are in a race to get the MMO out to take advantage of marketing the television show. I still recall the stinging comments when I reported that my brother-in-law scored an interview with Bioware and that he was told the MMO was star wars themed. "Oh they would never tell what the project was" type comments. When a friend and I did some dumpster diving and found conceptual art renderings at Bioware's Austin studio I was asked to scan /post pics or I was lying. Didnt matter that I had received a letter from Bioware's inhouse Legal team threatening legal action if I showed Bioware's project online. Anyway its now pretty much confirmed by several bitter ex-employees that Bioware's MMO is based on the Star Wars universe. LA has decided to follow many US corporations and outsource their labor to India and China so they can pay slave wages. It will be interesting to guage what the current SWG gamers will think of this news. Anyone with an account post this over there please. Im signing up for the vet trial if its still around and gonna spread the word. Our long wait is finally almost over. |

Ok, I dont even play SWG. My main issue is that you said you received a written letter from them to not post anything on the internet about their project? You found their art drawings in the TRASH! That is public property. So, please explain why you didnt actually post their stuff... Unless you were payed off or given some sort of compensation.
Once something is thrown away in the trash... The owner of said property relenquishes any such "hold" on said property.
correct me if im wrong? Im just going by what I see You could have labelled a thread UNOFFICIAL or SUPPOSED or I THINK THIS IS... or something....and scanned the pics....given some sort of proof...or whatever... Thoughts? |

Originally posted by Mokwee Yes thats 100% true. But they can still sue you anyway. I didnt feel like hiring a $200 an hr attorney over this matter. Still, I posted what I saw and went into detail about the pics and other things going on at their studio |

So it's KOTOR 3 in an MMO form huh? I hope they don't try to be "iconic" and let you do personal quests for "Revan"... We'll see. I still don't think it is going to be KOTOR. I think it's going to be in the Episode 2 or 3 timeframe. |

Maybe I missed something but I don't see how this confirms anything. It's still simply us taking your word for it. I haven't seen anything yet on any big websites. Basically all I see is this is how it is, take my word for it. Now I'm not calling you a liar, but do you see how that can be hard for people to believe? |

Originally posted by Interitus Umm have you seen the news from various gaming sites ? Ex-LA employees have spilled the beans. Im quite sure they confirmed the people they spoke with were actual ex-employees and not some nut off the street. LA fired 100 people over the past week. These bitter folks are not going down quietly. |

Well Professor, I find your methods quite unorthodox for a gentleman of high learning like you. Dumpster diving at Bioware? Mercy what is this world coming to? $4.00 per gallon? – Oh never mind.
The Folks at rlmmo are a well-known splinter group from MMORPG (Thanks NGE!) who even at times make me feel like Rodney Daingerfield (I get no respect) but they unlike other groups that I have had the pleasure of visiting these many years on my quest to right the wrong done by SOE, they are an intelligent group and know the industry. I am sorry that you have had a parting.
Back to your Methods. If you really obtain some treasure about the next MMO from Bioware from floating around their garbage its still their intellectual property and thusly their stern but very appropriate legal warning to you should be well heeded. You are the Indiana Jones of MMOs , Professor. But today was not your day. |

So what about the fact that when you originally posted your dumpster findings a few months back, you told everyone that the concept art you found was of characters from the upcoming Clone Wars TV series? I love how you constantly twist and bend your stories around to fit whatever the current hot rumor happens to be. Change the story enough times and it's bound to be right eventually, I guess. |

Well just to help out the OP a little.... http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=190412
Perhaps that will help his statements a little. Though the OP should have posted something to backup the statement, it was pretty easy to find from google. Now, my opinion..... YAY!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! xXSeraphielX |
