very nice im a big fan of the KOTOR seriers and a MMORPG would be wonderful branch off to the series i just hope they add more customization but im not planning on gettin my hopes up KOTOR 2 was up to my expectations but still was fun.

Probably gonna be like D&D Online....

Strip KOROT of story [MMORPGs barely have any story], and you're left with ... what?
D&D obviously.

KOTOR 1 was a kagillion times better then it's sequel.

As for a KOTOR MMO... I'm on the fence. If it's Bioware, i'll be loyal to the end with them. Such an ace company.

I'm not sure about this one, it could be horribly bad or really good.
It all depends on who's making it.

errr if its Kotor its 99% Bioware ... just look into their forums and actually "in development" list =)
edit: duh but not meaning that it IS kotor at all it could be just a starwars related game not saying anything regarding an actuall KOTOR MMO till official announcement from Bioware (since we all know EA s.... but they sadly make lots of money with they s... well you know =) explanation? N4S )

but btw. i just hope this kotor isnt the actually "next" one in the KOTOR series since i dont like the feel of a MMORPG with these settings since its real hard to balance the game at all and make enough classes so no one's bored at all and usually the quests itself arent easy since bioware is mainly a story based company also a lot of ppl in the forums are argueing about how bad a MMO would be for KOTOR, i for myself think 2 ways. It could be something new and unique if you remember the first real MMORPG (as you know it today) was NWN made by Bioware wich started something like a wave of excitement (sarcasm? lol) but on the same side it could be a real dissapointment too, if you look close to NWN 2 wich wasnt nearly as good as NWN 1 (at that point ok yes for Biowares defense they didnt made NWN 2 at all but thats one way it could look like well probably better than that but a glimpse for people who cant imagine that ^^)

Hope i didnt forgot anything oh well i woke up too early today so blah :P

Note- It is SET in the Kotor time line, its doubtful it will play a big role in the story and KOTOR 3 most likely will exist to fill the horrid gap left.

If there smart, they'd make during the gap between KOTOR 1 and 2, during the War at which you wake up after in KOTOR 2. Thus making Jedi/Sith battles a big role, and well worth playing.

Furtheremore, its made by Bioware....They won't **** up, they never do, and never will.

Problem is, their specialty lies in party-based gameplay. While it is possible that they might do something like Sword of the New World, I doubt it. Still, bioware has a good record so hopefully, it will help out though I have to agree that it will be hard to put a storyline in a mmo which I have no doubt that they will try. Whether they succeed is something left to the future and there is no point in trying to predict it.
