Kalfear Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Topic says it all I find the Old Republic much more interesting time line and story line for a MMORPG then the Movie Time Line used in SWG. Any chance of you and LA getting togather for this? Kalfear Disco and Dragons Avatar Enlarged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Noooooo! That would ruin the game entirely and Kotor would no longer be Kotor! Time and money should be spent on developing a good storyline, dialogues and character development, areas, etc. but not multiplayer in any form.

GhostofAnakin Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 No. KOTOR is NOT a MMORPG and never should be. If you want ELEMENTS from the KOTOR to be used in a MMORPG, then that might be a valid suggestion. But I wish people would stop trying to change KOTOR into something it's not. <_< "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 To put it bluntly- MMORPGS suck. Theyre just very advanced chatrooms with the option to hacknslash your way through pointless quests in order to become "OMFG my char si fakkin 1337 kewl 01011101!1010!!!!"

Judge Hades Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I hate MMORPGs. Biggest waste of money and time on the planet. WHoever invented the first MMORPG deserves to get freaking shot multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darque Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 As an additional note: I was part of the SWG beta process and have a small idea of what is required to create a MMORPG.... and frankly Obsidian most likely doesn't have the required resources or "manpower" to build and maintain a project of that level. Not to mention it takes years to create and test a MMO, and by the time it was finished would be very "dated". Not to mention that the "flood" of mmo's is still going on (though thankfully many are dying out) and as such it's not a real good time to create a new mmorpg.

Judge Hades Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Its never a good time. If I had the hacking knowledge I would hack into every MMORPG and erase all the characters of all the players, everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Has a MMORPG ever been made that had even any semblance of a defined story?

Kalfear Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Wow! what a friendly bunch of people here! To the ONE person that asked a real question. Ashrons Call ran a monthly story Arc early in their retail MMORPG. Thats about it tho to be honest. SWG does infact try to have a story line but its boring and ignored mostly. WoW, EQ1&2,UO, all of them have minor story backdrops in chunks here and there but no REAL outlined story (meaning you might find a story on the official site but you will be hard pressed to see same detail or close to in game). Hope that answers your question Now for My question, heheh OBSIDIAN personal, has there been any talk or chance of you and LA joining togather for a Star wars Old Republic MMORPG? While a few folks bashed the genre, it is still waiting for that one Sci Fi game to take control and I personally think (been playing mmorpgs since 1991 and alpha and beta testing close to 90% of them since then) KotOR theme would be a great success in that genre. Its alot more open and free then the SWG story line. Anyways, just wondering and suggesting (as this suggestion board). I really think it would be a huge huge success.

Darque Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 OBSIDIAN personal, has there been any talk or chance of you and LA joining togather for a Star wars Old Republic MMORPG? I don't work or have any connection to Obsidian, but I feel I can safely say there's roughly no chance in hell of this happening as Sony probably holds the rights to do all mmo's.

EnderAndrew Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 The only single player cRPG I've played that I think would be improved by the jump to a MMORPG is Morrowind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eric328 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I wouldnt keep your hopes high for kotor 3 to be an MMORPG because it would change around the whole gameplay and story line and tons of kids would be disapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
