Hey everyone, new to the forums so forgive me if this has already been posted, but I saw this over on mmorpg.com and found it quite, f*cking awesome, to say the least

Oh god no, a MMORPG... If it's going to be one, I'm not buying it. I personally hate MMORPG's because they take, in my experience, everything out of rolepaying and they seem to be more about smashing and killing everything that moves. Also, the 'must get to a higher level' aditude annoys me. I mean, a level 60 fighter, how can anyone take that serious?

Also, has Ea taken over the PC gaming industry?

I hope this is only a KotOR MMORPG, not KotOR III.

My thoughts exactly.

Well if it's an MMO then calling it KOTOR III would be false advertising, which would be typical of EA.

If it's a single player game with options to go online outside of the main game, then I'll be interested still, but if it's MMO only, they will have lost yet another customer!

Essentially, yes. It drives me nuts that a company like Quantic Dream who produce imaginative, original compelling games can't get publishers or distributors for their work, while EA "rehash old titles badly so long as it's got a good soundtrack" have the monopoly.

I'd personally hate to see KOTOR as an MMORPG. But as I've said a few times, K2 is quite an old game now. You can imagine that a company like EA are going to want to maximise profit, which probably means appeal to a new audience takes precedence over satisfying us old-timers. Which sucks.

Pfft! A KotOR MMO would just be the latest in a long list of massive disappointments for me. Mass Effect advertised as an Action/RPG when there was hardly any RP at all. Dragon Age trailer showed off a massive battle that looked like a Strategy game. Fallout 3, well, can you spell Oblivion...among others.

My grandsons play MMO's, and how do they play?! They join and then dash in and kill anybody and everybody in sight. What they did in Guild Wars and WoW, and others that I can't remember now. All they want is to be "powerful" and get all the loot they can. They could have cared less if there was a story or not.

I loved both KotOR games, but if it does go MMO, I will not be playing. (Not that EA or BioWare will care a whit.) I am not enthused by any MMO, and have never been inclined to throw away my money playing one...

I prefer a really good story to a lot of combat, although I appear to be in the minority these days. Planescape: Torment's story really drew me in emotionally and I have yet to find another game that can do that, even though there are games I like and play more than once. Most people today seem to want battle after battle, and don't want to bother with the story anymore. Well, with an MMO, that's exactly what they will get. No story and lots of battles.

i am somewhat disappointed.

Perhaps those of us that do like strong story-driven RPG's are in the minority these days but I'm holding off on passing judgment on this new Star Wars MMORPG until more details are known. BioWare management have stated that they want to put the RPG back into MMORPG so I'm interested in seeing how they're going to do that.

KOTOR II a MMORPG

As a fan of Star Wars, and as a fan of RPG and MMORPGs that will be awsome for me what ever everyone of you thinking. I never thought that ill se a star wars game as a MMORPG, Hope this rumor is true, well for someone is a sad rumor for someone is a happy.
