Kotor Mmorpg?

[riotfellow]

@ oftherepublic havent played Galaxies so i didnt know about the whole revive thing

You are probably right about they are going to revise the combat system but what type of combat system should they use? Personally i would like a VtM:B style combat system because it is real-time, rather fast paced and still has save rolls, attack rolls etc.

@riotfellow- i dont know combat systems all i know is that I want real time fighting and I want skill diversity so not all Jedi are cookie cutter Jedi, like characters are in WoW and all other MMORPG. Im currently working on my KOTOR 3 story and have come up with one of the most elaborate endings so ill get back to you on this subject by tomorrow

[riotfellow]

@oftherepublic all right good luck to you

I wouldn't like kotOR III to be an MMORPG, simply because there are just too many questions left unanswered. And if they really want to make an MMORPG in the kotOR universe, rename it.

First off, a mmo in kotor setting would be interesting, but as said before, as long as it doesnt interfere with kotor3

That said, the reason why many mmo's have a monthly fee is because they maintain the servers themselves. The monthly fee is for maintaince, and just having the servers in general. It costs many to have high quality servers.

But that said, the monthly fees is also the reason why i dont even consider playing mmo's. I did a few days of the WoW trial like a year ago, and that game is not worth 12 bucks a month, or whatever the fee is. So yeah, it would be great to have no monthly fee, but with the fact that star wars is extremely popular, the developers know that tons of people will pay monthly to play the game, and continue to play if the game is good. So 99% chance there will be a monthly fee.

Lots of MMOs are surprisingly free of monthly fees, though. Guild Wars is one, and there are a few other old ones that are kind of popular that are free of monthly fees.

The idea of a Kotor MMO could be worth exploring, I suppose, even though I can't really see it really going anywhere. The prospect of an MMO Kotor 3 however just ticks me off. Let's face it, Kotor 2 was a pretty big disappointment. I dare say it's the one game I've bought that actually had the nerve to call itself "complete". I still remember the weeks after I'd bought it when it would sit on my shelf collecting dust because it wouldn't run normally on an Radeon Mobility. And I'm not even going to get into the amount of content that had been cut just to get it in the stores by Christmas (I mean, honestly, wth?). I understand there's the whole "best time of day to set up your lemonade store," and that Obsidian might have done a better job of planning the scope of their project, but as far as I'm concerned Lucas' priorities seem to be pretty clear when it comes to this little franchise of his.

It might just be that I've been looking forward to a Kotor 3 for so long for some much needed closure to the series, but right now, I don't think I could trust Lucas to deliver a game, much less an MMO, that I would be willing to pay good money for. imho, the notion of a Kotor MMO just looks like someone trying to jump on the bandwagon of the day. :/

as long as star wars galaxies is around( which wont be to long at this rate) it wont happen. they could have a test server for people to try and if it rakes in the $ we could be sayin hello to KOTOR MMO. the game though should be in mandalorian wars with the criminal sith republic mandalorian and people faction. so it could be a go but wait till christmas and then check starwars.com

[DarthSpiden]

So uhh Kotor mmo is a no-no I think because:
1) it wouldnt tie up the end of the stroy in the kotor series
2) monthly charges, and please for the first few months at least there would be charges!
3) I dont want to see seven million of one type of person
4) maybe there could be a star wars mmo, but not a kotor series
5) this series needs to come to a close, and a good close at that!!!!!

i think the idea for a Kotor 3 MMO would be awesome, as long as (as stated in a few posts i've seen) it was an additional option. so the the main menu would look something like this:

Single Player (in it are the "new game" and "load game" options)
Multiplayer (the MMORPG)
Movies
Credits
Options
Exit Game

this way the single player gameplay could (hopefully) revolve around all the other threads on the discussion board, while multiplayer would give players the ability to play the game online with other people. i think that the MMORPG should, however, touch on (as suggested earlier) the Mandalorian Wars, along with KotOR 1, 2 and 3. also, we should be able to travel to all of the planets within the games (maybe leaving out the Yavin Station from PC version of K1). as for the starting character, idk what we'd do. i mean, if you can choose to play as a Jedi, do we give them a lightsaber right off the bat?

[garzellm]

oh boy. darth spiden did u not read what i said!! mandalorian wars MANDALORIAN WARS. and what about the same person why not just u make ure own person like any other mmo and choose ure own job. and then ure own faction. im so sorry there are four million malaks and revans. make um NPCs. ugh

[garzellm]

OK Darth Valrinth. That would be stupid they would just be losing money because everyone will be just playing story mode. You know how long people are waiting to see what is going to happen to Revan and the Exile (what the storyline is too. They would be paying producers to do nothing. Sorry dreams aren't coming true. Oh and Caden. Thanks. I now know why hate SWG and not very other people play. They have to pay to much to play a crappy game.

[Darth Valthri]

first off, please get the name right. Valthri, there's no n in it, and you mixed up the ordering of letters. anyways, who said they had to play the multiplayer first? most people would obviously play the game itself first, and then once they got bored of it and bored of replaying it, they could do something that's no so repetitive. or, another idea to change that and make it more to your liking, O Lord, is disable the multiplayer until the storyline part of K3 has been completed at least once.

A few games have done this in the past. There was one in particular recently... the name escpaes me (helpfully)... that suffered quite a bit in the story mode because, essentially, it was really short, the idea being that your more elaborate adventures would happen in multiplayer.
So while I think this would be a good compromise, I would worry that too little time owuld be spent on the story mode of K3 - considering one of the main draws to the KOTOR games is their stories superiority over other SW games (imo).

[garzellm]

OK sorry about the name mixup Darth Valthri but what I meant wasn't what one they have to play first. I meant that they won't do that because they wouldn't have as many people on the game. They would just wait mostly when they have KOTOR 3 out.
