Well, I always though KOTOR was meant to have been made as ONLY a Single-Player game.
But nowdays, pretty much every company's turning their games into MMO's.
Thank god they haven't done it to Diablo.......
I guess as you said, it's good because The Sith and Jedi are in an endless conflict.
Just as long as:
-It has a good Storyline to back it up.
-It has the good Star Wars like feeling that KOTOR normally has.
-The combat is the same.
And to people who are wondering whether it will be on Xbox and PS3.
I don't see why not, there is a FF MMORPG on it.
