Sweet, hopefully they will do it right. I would like a good modern Star Wars MMORPG.

The best PC developer in the world could make a MMORPG and it would still be mindless grind and not even 1% RPG. Oh wait, they already did (World of Warcraft), and yes, it's mindless grind and not even a RPG.
Today, two-thirds of the game industry is console systems and dedicated handhelds. "We expect in 2011 for it to be fifty-percent," Riccitiello said.

They (Bioware) opened a new office in Texas to develop it as to not take resources away from the rest of the company. The only people that can prevent another single player RPG KOTOR would be Lucas Arts. I would not be surprised if Lucas Arts forced this next KOTOR game to be an MMORPG, since SW: Galaxies has declined....
A single player KOTOR 3 would be more like EA's style than a KOTOR MMORPG since MMORPGs cost tons of money to develop (when done correctly) versus a single player game that they could pump out to make quick and easy money using the KOTOR franchise name milking.

Well there goes the KOTOR franchise. I don't see how this can be pulled off. The whole point to KOTOR was being one of the most absolute badass/powerful Jedi ever, and then kicking a lot of ass however you saw fit. This cannot happen with a MMO, at least not in the traditional sense.
MMO fans might like it, and it might even be a decent MMO game, but one this is sure if this is true and our fears really are coming ture - its going to be a shitty KOTOR game.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Bioware has definitely heavily emphasized voice acting in their past games, but for an MMO I'd think this would have to be more like BG with limited voice acting and more text compared to newer titles like ME or KOTOR. AoC actually had a ton of voice acting in the beginning but it quickly tapered off and was noticeably missing in later stages. Plus the voice acting wasn't great to begin with.Originally posted by: Schadenfroh
Bioware has a list of excellent roleplaying games that have loads of dialog interaction, character development and great stories that allow you to seamlessly immerse yourself into the character that you are playing.
