Knights of the Old Republic MMO to be unveiled soon photo

According to the UK newspaper, The Daily Star, the lid will soon be blown off BioWare’s Knights of the Old Republic MMO. A reporter for the newspaper is traveling to the beautiful city of San Francisco to “file an exclusive report on the game.” Why The Daily Star and not Destructoid is your guess as much as mine.

It’s interesting that EA and BioWare have been so quiet about the title. If the comments from our impromptu announcement story are any indication, the majority of KotOR fans are pretty excited about the possibility of the MMO.

I’ve been thinking about mounts in MMOs of late, and I wonder what exactly the KotOR MMO will have. Spaceships will probably handle intergalactic travel, but what will carry the player around on the ground? I vote riding around on Wampas like C3PO rode Chewbacca. Granted, it wasn't really riding nor was it a choice, but the thought of putting my fledgling Sith apprentice in a basket on the back of a smelly animal makes me more excited.

If any game will get me into MMOs, it will be this one.

If it HAS to have mounts, since KotOR didn't need them and I'm hoping it's more like that then Warcraft, But if it HAS to have them, I vote for Swoop Bikes.

Also, Do want. I'm playing through KotOR again right now and I'm loving it as much now as I did when I first played it.

NO. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! BAD BIOWARE, BAD EA! KOTOR WAS PERFECT THE WAY IT WAS AND YOU'RE FUCKING KILLING IT BY MAKING IT A USELESS CUNTING MMO!

FUCKING ASSHOLES!

Why would they make a KotOR MMO, when there's all ready Star Wars Galaxies?

I'd rather have a new single-player adventure as opposed to a MMO.

@frozenbabylon - The mythos of KotOR is set [b]4,000 years before[b] the trilogies, and the technologies were supposed to look much more ancient than they did in the game. I'd really wish they kept with the Tales of the Jedi aesthetics.

I still would much rather have a conventional RPG than an MMO.

Two things:

1) I'd rather have a KoTOR3.

2) Fix the stupid combat system.

SOE fucked up star wars galaxies big time... i am sure if it weren't the case many would be very content to keep playing it. as it stands now, the game is a lost cause.

this is why i am excited... though what arttemis said is true, i get a boner for star wars so i can look past this.

i just pray they don't make jedi a default class... it should be something obscenely hard to attain and beat, imo

Making jedi obscenely hard to obtain is exactly why galaxies failed so badly. The one class everyone wanted to be was impossible to be for like a year. No, they'll make Jedi a starting class, there is absolutely no doubt, but they'll just make you gain a lot of levels before you really see the benefits.

OMFG I'm sooo fucking giddy. And for the mounts I'd imagine similar stuff as in SWG. Swoop Bikes, Speeder Bikes, Land Speeders, and of course Banthas.

Give me KOTOR3 and not some lame MMOs.
I play games so that I don't have to interact with all the assholes that I meet all day. Besides I neither do have the money nor would I be willing to pay for a monthly subscription for a game.

Sounds pretty cool in theory, though I think unless it has 200-story tall wookies that literally snot out lightsabers and piss evil jedi while using the death star as a mount, Kotor 3 would still be preferable.

For some reason I just have no more faith in Lucas Arts or any of their endeavors.

@yaisuah

maybe i am mistaken because i stopped playing a little before it happened... but i always thought it was the jedi revamp that initially effed things up... when just about anybody could become a jedi with (relatively) little effort
