Sand Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 What's weird is that the MMORPG and the LA project are listed as two different things on the BIO homepage. It doens't make sense that it looks like they're the same. Illogical nonsense. Who knows. Maybe they are working on KotOR 3 and the KotOR MMO. Or that the EA statements or this listing is a red herring just to mess with our heads. Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer. @\NightandtheShape/@ - "Because you're a bizzare strange deranged human?"

Magister Lajciak Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The only interest a KOTOR MMO gets from me is the negative interest generated by the fact that the MMO is likely to take over the franchise and preclude the possibility of proper KOTOR 3 being made.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 A KotOR MMO might be the multiplayer counterpart to a single-player KotOR 3. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Meaning you'd have to pay once for the multiplayer game, a second time for a single player campaign, and a rolling-third-ad-infinitum for the mp monthly fee?!

They fit together (kinda) but they still play differently. It's a brilliant scheme for money and success. EA/LucasArts should consider it. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Sand Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Then again KotOR MMO might just be KotOR 3, and they are setting up like Guild Wars. A MMO without a monthly fee! One can hope, right?

Volourn Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 "Then again KotOR MMO might just be KotOR 3, and they are setting up like Guild Wars. A MMO without a monthly fee!" I am doubtful that BIO would set up an entire division in Texas to create, and maintain a MMO wehre it's 'free' after the initial purpose. Afterall, even all the NWN patches were mainly paid for via the premium modules.... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

I hope so, Hades. Also, they better give "trial" periods where we can play for free and try before we buy and all that good stuff. Think of the possibilities, man! We might actually be able to play a game this time before dissing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It's more likely that there will be some sort of open beta. That can be a very good way to check out the game ahead of time. Free trials usually don't get going until a few months after the product has been released, and if it's succesful it will be a long wait. They do usually have a friend pass, so you could always hit someone up for that to test it. But seriously, this game is at least 4 years away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to be optimistic that games come out that I will find fun. Sometimes they aren't, and that is when I am indifferent. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Great, so they're taking a series that pretty much makes its living on character writing and dramatic scenes, and they're changing the platform to a type that can only give you story developments through backstory?

Have you played LotR Online? Despite following a storyline that most people know, Turbine has managed to put you in the thick of the action. You go on quests with famous characters. There is a whole questline where you gather everything needed to reforge Aragorn's sword. MMO's don't need to be devoid of character development and dramatic storylines, they just need to make it accessible to all characters. Yes, it's difficult to change the game world as a player, but there are ways to create the illusion. Using instances for major plot developments is a way to do that. So where a low level character might find Strider at the Prancing Pony early on, higher characters can see him at Rivendell via instanced rooms.

Lord2 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Is EA allowed to do this? I mean, they own Bioware but they doesn't have any rights to the KOTOR license?
