The Official Announcement.
I had looked through the website about this yesterday I think it was. Im -really- excited, ever since I first heard about KOTOR I've wished they made a MMO out of it, so I'm having trouble believing that it's actually happening. Especially with BioWare backing its production, that usually means excellent quality.
I can't wait, and thanks for the video :D
I wouldn't get too excited just yet, remember Bioware has the seriously bad habit of announcing their games way too early. For instance Dragon Age is still over at least a year away and It was announced at least 3 years ago and I think that's a slim estimate. Hell they have already announced a sequel to the game when it has yet to even be released so we may be waiting a loooong time for The Old Republic.
But Bioware has been working on this one for the past 3 to 4 years... so a year or 2 at most before release... I'm figuring.
I'm holding out my judgment to find out how they're are going to handle character creation! *Wishes for a saga like system* :P
The game probably wont be out for quite some time, being an MMORPG and all...
Its been in the works since '05 and being that its an MMO, I don't expect to see it before 2010 at the earliest.
I'm still a little gunshy of a Star Wars MMO after the debacle that was Galaxies. Sony and LA really turned off a lot of people with the stunts they pulled.
That said, I'm still probably going to give it a shot and hope for the best.
I just hope they have a Commando-type class available, as that was my toon on Galaxies. I really couldn't care less about being a Jedi (especially since everyone and their mother will be one), bounty hunters, or smugglers.
A story driven MMO made by Bioware... What can possibly go wrong?
I am looking forward to the story driven part of this game. But as for seeing it anytime soon, according to this interview http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/10/23/bioware-star-wars-combat/
they haven't even ironed out exactly how combat will work yet. I don't see this game finishing anytime in the near future.
