    Stop taking this so personally, lol.  You probably really only like this game because of former associations (it's Star Wars and it's made by BioWare).  Do you think that a requirement to have an MMO is to call it an "MMO" and to have a bunch of money?

    
     

    Not taking it personal at all, just find it funny that when I see an MMO announcement, I take it to mean that it's an MMO being announced, not exactly rocket science is it.

    Actually I thought kotor was a piece of shit, Mass Effect was average at best, so no, I'm not a huge BioWare fan, I pretty much hate LucasFarts and so far SWTOR looks pretty uninspiring to me, so you couldn't be more wrong. Here's what I do know though, when they jointly announce an MMO, produced by the same people that worked on UO and SWG, I'm pretty sure they're going to deliver an MMO.

    Come back to me when Ferrari announce their new supercar, and release a moped.

     

     

    
     

    Why do you even post if you have nothing constructive to say? You probably never even played KOTOR or Mass Effect, you're just one of those people that sees a game by a company they don't like and completely hates it, without even playing it. Both of those games were HUGE breakthroughs for the RPG genre, HUGE. They took precedence over franchises like Final Fantasy, because they were so innovative and pulled the player into the story as if they were living out their favorite character in their favorite film. The awards don't lie, Bioware has time and again won awards for breakthrough RPG, RPG of the year, etc. They have proven themselves worthy (over probably every other game company that has or is making an MMORPG), to make an MMORPG. And with that they bring the Bioware touch, compelling stories, a game that truly puts you right in the middle of the action. Innovation, it's just what the MMORPG genre needs right now, and there's no other company better than Bioware to bring it to the table.

    I find it very hard to believe you even played those games, you're just a hater, a troll, with nothing better to do than try to be a 'badass' on the internet. Spare us dude, no one wants to hear it.

• • An interesting question that every MMO dev-team should ask:

  • The question you asked isn't for every MMO development team, but specifically targets Bioware.

    Either way, the question has already been answered. They wanted to continue the KOTOR story, by making an MMORPG they can make KOTOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and beyond. One of the developers stated this in the video that has been floating around gaming sites. The only video that I know of regarding The Old Republic.

• • I dont think this is coming out anytime soon.

  • Yep, pre-alpha. I know it has been talked about by the developers that it will have a 2009 release, just not sure when.

• • Any info on player crafting and/or economy?

  • I didn't see anything either, same deal. I was following the live blog too. Only thing I've really heard is that you will be able to do anything you could do in the movies, and more. Also, the game is currently in pre-alpha phase, who knows how close to alpha they actually are.

• • Pre-CU checking in thread

  • No one cares if you played Star Wars Galaxies pre-CU.

    I can also probably guarantee Bioware, Lucasarts, and EA don't care either.
