Jaesun Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) linky We've just spoken with N. Evan Van Zelfden, the writer of the report, who told us that when asked specifically if this game was "KOTOR Online", Riccitiello responded unequivocally, "Yes." So, there you have it Edited July 17, 2008 by Jaesun Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
Xard Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Sand Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I am willing to give it a try. You can say that i am "Revan" to go. HAHAHAHA!

qt3.14159 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I'm not going to believe it. I refuse. Then it can't happen, right? RIGHT??? Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.
Gfted1 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Isnt there already a Star Wars MMO? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Sand Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I wonder if it will use the SAGA rules system from WotC.

Slowtrain Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Its strange that so many companies seem to be on the MMORPG bandwagon. It just seems to me that MMORPGs are one of the product niches where there just isn't a lot of room for a bunch of different ones to succeed. Most MMORPG players are only going to have time for 1 or 2 MMORPGs at a time, and for most one of those will probably be WoW. Given the ongoing cost of having to maintain the online world, it would seem to be a tough way to make money. Star Wars through is probably an IP that has as good a chance as succeeding as any other. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Bioware likes challenges, so why shouldn't they try to get their hands on the MMO market? Rain makes everything better.
Niten_Ryu Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Unlike SWG, KotOR era is great for MMOG. Everyone can be Jedi/Stih if they choose to without it messing "lore" or role of the too important characters from the movies. There's virtually none to stop players being the HERO in KotOR. I'm looking forward to it. Good job Bioware ! Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
qt3.14159 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Well, yeah, I'll *play* it, but I'll definitely be hacked if a KOTOR MMO precludes a K3 being made. Really, really hacked. Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.
Sand Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Why? There really shouldn't have been a KotOR2. The story of KotOR was pretty summed up in KotOR1.

Xard Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) But there was Kotor 2 This means very bad news for Kotor 3 Blizzard has continued the Warcraft lore and Warcraft's story in WoW, meaning Warcraft 4 in gaming world as it is never going to happen Really, there's no reason for K3 anymore. Story gets continued in another, much weaker form Edited July 17, 2008 by Xard How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

Nick_i_am Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Bioware has continued the Warcraft lore and Warcraft's story in WoW, meaning Warcraft 4 in gaming world as it is never going to happen Yeah! Stupid Bioware. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
qt3.14159 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Why? There really shouldn't have been a KotOR2. The story of KotOR was pretty summed up in KotOR1. I don't think I even *know* you anymore! Maybe I never did! Seriously, though, A New Hope pretty much summed up Star Wars so they should never have made Empire, by that logic... and we all know that Empire is vastly superior to the others. WOuld one have an effect on the other? They would seem to be products aimed at different markets. It depends on when they set the KOTOR MMO game. The Old Republic Era is a really long time, so it could not have anything to do with it, or it could try to take over with rebuilding the order.

Xard Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) whoops, fix'd Why would they bother to use Kotor license and set it in other time period? Defeats the purpose Edited July 17, 2008 by Xard How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

Bokishi Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Why? There really shouldn't have been a KotOR2. The story of KotOR was pretty summed up in KotOR1. I'm going to have to agree here, K1's story closed very well, so well in fact that KOTOR 2 had a very different story with different characters in it. Everyone wants to know what happened to Revan, well you pretty much made the character, so just imagine what happened to him. Current 3DMark
SteveThaiBinh Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 That's so disappointing. The KotOR franchise's greatest asset was its storytelling, and now they're making a game in a genre that can't have proper stories. Unless they think they can have proper stories in an MMO? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Morgoth Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Closed story or not, people loved Kotor and that's why there was a high demand for a sequel. You can always create a new story for K3. Duh. Rain makes everything better.
Slowtrain Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 There's no reason why there can't be a KoTot online and a KoToR 3. That would make the most sense anyway, since you could make multiple use of the same developement assets and yet hit both the single player and MMORPG markets as well as using the single player game to promote the online experience.

Given the ongoing cost of having to maintain the online world, it would seem to be a tough way to make money. Star Wars through is probably an IP that has as good a chance as succeeding as any other. Actually, the gigantic release of Funcom's Age of Conan makes it clear that the upper limit for MMO subscribers is really unknown. Plus, MMO's do taper off over time, and those players tend to look for greener pastures. WoW is king right now, but this KotOR Online is probably still years away from release, and who knows what the market will be by then? You have quite a few MMO's going strong right now, and by strong I mean over 100k subscribers: WoW (of course) LotR Online EQ2 AoC (impressive start, not sure on lifespan) EVE FFXI Lineage 2 I'm probably forgetting a few, and there are some that manage to cling on to enough people to stay in business: The original EQ, Asheron's Call, Ultima Online, D&D Online, Vanguard, SW: Galaxies (I think this one is ending)...
