Baldur's Gate and such games were built with this in mind. The engine would need a major overhaul. And what happens with all the plot? Bastilla tells you this, and the MC gets dialogue options. What about the player playing Bastilla? What if the Carth player hits a trigger event, and the game is trying to talk to Revan. Except Carth is hearing about being a Jedi. Co-op works for certain games. It won't work for KOTOR.

I want to be the new coffee-fetcher. FU better watch out!

Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.

I'm sure merely graduating with a Masters at Yale is a task idiots do everyday.

You could however take his address and sign him up for a bunch of junk-mail.

I work in IT with an Indian. I plead the fifth.

Guess we know what kind of relationships Ender has. Vanilla. Very vanilla. :ph34r:

We just turn up the dial on the infinite-probability drive.

Karzak. Will you marry me?

Spore. I'm not trying to be rude. However there are many people on this forum who love to flame. I can't even find a website for your MMORPG. And so far you have a small team and little progress judging from your forums. To be perfectly honest, what you need is positive people to help you. Go check out sourceforge.net for programmers, or RPGMaker forums. You might find people who want to make a game and help you out. However, hitting random forums is likely only wasting your time and attracting flames. These flames will be a negative distraction from what you're trying to accomplish.

KOTOR was designed be cinematic. With that comes certain things. Some of the changes people want just aren't condusive to this engine. I'd really like to see the community rally behind a good mod to Morrowind or Dungeon Siege making a Star Wars RPG.

You may be right about that.

But what happens when said swallows choke on sunflower seed shells?

And depending on the position, you don't have to be the one organizing everything, so long as you can work within an organized structure and produce on a deadline.

Well, keep waiting for your free Star Wars MMORPG/NWN/WOW/Morrowind/Galaxies game.

I suppose any company can operate as they so desire. However, developing a game is a multi-staged process. Brainstorming is great in pre-production. However, in order to hit a release date, you need to decide on a somewhat set feature-set, and have a game-plan. Then you need to carry out that game-plan. Being productive in a large project, gaming or otherwise somewhat dictates this. That's why many fan projects fail. It's not due to lack of creativity or great ideas. They are unfamiliar with the boring organizational process needed to complete the task at hand.

I can say the same thing about my car. I want to buy it, not rent it. Why should I have to pay for gas? MMORPGs require a full time staff of GM's, support staff, and developers to add new content. You get more with a MMORPG in certain senses of the word. So, you pay for those services, or you choose not to.

Caffeine is my one vice. That and Lithuanian Midget Scat Porn. kill -9 bill gates.

Streaking is always much more fun in real life. Nekid = goodness.

Fair enough.

MMORPGs will have monthly fees. That's pretty standard. A few free MMORPGs are in development, but I'm not expecting greatness from them. And the Star Wars license costs good money, so a Star Wars MMORPG will definately have a monthly fee. Then again, I'm working on a Star Wars MUD. That is moddable and free. It's also text based.

With the OGL, go for it.

No word yet if we're getting new mini-games, but mini-games are now optional, and will be tweaked. This is in the works. Alot of people are clammoring for better textures/clothes. The artists are hard at work. We'll see. I don't know if you'll see samurai stances in particular, but animations already look improved. Thats what mods are for, sicko. Already vetoed. Sorry. Other people have also suggested this quite a bit lately. We'll see. Yes and no. Read the Questions to the Devs, Take 2 thread. In fact, go read all the stickies. It will answer a lot of questions for you. You'll see improved animations. I haven't seen this officially veteod, but it's highly unlikely. The engine isn't being overhauled, and gameplay will be largely similiar. It has has to get cleared through LA. (Though you could attack anyone in Jedi Knight, but I digress) Why haven't we seen this suggested more? I'm all for this. I got the impression that with the engine they wanted to limit the number of global models. That's why NPCs all looked alike. I don't know how much this will be improved. Expect around 30 or no level cap. Now, go read the stickies and welcome to the forum.

Why is sadism so fun in a game? I'm very giving and protective in real life, but in a video game sadism is just done right funny.
