| | | it would also be hard considering and MMO can usually get thousands playing easily. making the story revolve around one person in an mmo is a ridiculous idea

| | | I don't think it will be a success..., people will feel atraccted at first but, my prediction is it will dissapoint every1, not all kotor fans want the same but we do expect the same basics, certain characters and background story, and most important of all, an ending, something that a mmo cant satisfy because of its nature (i hope u get the meaning, my english isnt very good). |

| | | More rumor news
I'll post it as I find it, but there's more rumor news and this is from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Power Up | Massive reasons for gamers to cheer | Inquirer | 05/04/2007
Beyond what is publicly known, several juicy, MMO-flavored rumors have surfaced in recent days. Most exciting are whispers that a massively multiplayer version of LucasArts' classic Star Wars role-playing series, Knights of the Old Republic, could be on the way.
And while this isn't necessarily a rumor, the creator of KOTOR 2 gave an interview that can be found here... Taking the roleplaying game to a whole new level | Technology | Guardian Unlimited Technology
Perhaps discussions about whether KOTOR as an mmo should be moved to a different thread. I thought this originally was going to be a "rumors found about kotor 3" as opposed to a discussion about kotor as an mmo. Anyways, good hunting on those rumors.

And about the features you mentioned, that has nothing to do with kotor and could be applied to galaxies mmo. |

| | @philosoldier: I agree that at this point, all discussion regarding opinions/thoughts on a possible KOTOR MMO should be given it's own thread, and this one reserved soley for the plumbing of the latest rumors, since there is a relatively reputable batch circulating around now. Discuss a possible KOTOR MMORPG here.

Please note: you may discuss the pros and cons of a KOTOR MMO in the thread that was created for it. This thread will no longer be used for that. Thanks.

| | Folks, if you could keep your ears open for around May 24th for any information about the game, post it here. My unit will be doing its AT until early July, so hopefully there will be some sort of announcement about the game by then. For those of you interested in getting updates on KOTOR rumors and other KOTOR related news, use Knights of the Old Republic - Google News to help with getting more news. Also check out Bioware's site forum which is here... BioWare - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Forum Index or Obsidian's forums which are here... Obsidian Forum Community -> KotOR2
Good hunting.

| | I looked up on google Star Wars Kotor News like philosoldier84 said and it says that some guy down at the "pub" told them that At the next Star Wars celebration at the end of the month they would release news about an upcoming game and they speculate it's Kotor III but the guy says more but look for yourself HEXUS.gaming - Headline :: Lucas Arts set for Star Wars: KOTOR 3 announcement? : Page - 1/1
I hope it's Kotor III

| | I dont think KOTOR3 should be a MMO at all, i belive and agree with others that it should stay a single RPG, There really is no need to make it MMO , when the others are not.
if they do make KOTOR a MMORPG then i proberly wont buy it or i might
im not really sure |
