E3 2008: KOTOR MMO Official?
Rumors and speculation abound regarding LucasArts and BioWare's next project.
by Steve Butts

July 17, 2008 - Reports surfaced today that EA CEO John Riccitiello confirmed that LucasArts and BioWare were indeed working on a Knights of the Old Republic MMO. Though it's been widely assumed that the developer and publisher were working on a Star Wars MMO based on the Knights of the Old Republic universe, this is the first time anyone has officially confirmed it.

When contacted about the statement, BioWare deferred to LucasArts whose representatives told us that they currently have "nothing to announce" regarding their association with BioWare. Even with both parties staying quiet on the issue, it's hard to discount Riccitiello's statements regarding the new game.

We'll dig into this a bit deeper and bring you more updates as soon as we can.

I sort of gave up on MMOs after City of Villains, but if this is true I can see myself devoting massive amounts of time to it.

Hopefully Bioware will be able to innovate the gameplay beyond "Go over to this place, kill everything then return to me" type of level grind.

Oh, I forgot the "Go over to this place, kill everything, pick up object X, then return to me" variation on the type.

I don't know man, I don't think if I can get into an MMO ever again. The thing is I don't like HAVING to party up with other people. Or having that pressure of keeping my level up with the people that I do like playing with.

Thank goodness.... I really want a good Star Wars MMO.

This is disappointing. What about KotOR 3??! I dont want to have to play KotOR online with other people, and I dont see how they can make a story as good as KotOR 1 in a mmo setting. That and having to pay subscription fee makes this game an instant PASS for me.... and this is sad because KorOR is one of my favorites.

Hmm. I'd play.

I thought the KotOR mechanics were janky as hell, but I could see this being fucking awesome.

This... I don't have time for that shit anymore. They need to make a working/dating/married man's MMOR, where soloing is ok, but partying is easier to do because you don't have to keep up with everyone.

I'm hoping that DC game is like that since it's more action oriented.
