Sand Posted July 23, 2008 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.

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Magister Lajciak Posted August 4, 2008 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.

Despair not dear Magistrate Whateverwhatever! For such preclusion might transmute into the possibility of GLADIUS 2!
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 A KotOR MMO might be the multiplayer counterpart to a single-player KotOR 3. "Alright, I've been thinking.

jaguars4ever Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 A KotOR MMO might be the multiplayer counterpart to a single-player KotOR 3. 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?! What kind of evil, greedy publisher would dream of concocting such a scheme?! Oh wait...nm.

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.

But more likely if the cash-cow-MMO is successful they'll just keeping churning out expansions.

I do not have a gaming console, so that is not much of a consolation for me, but thank you o' big cat warrior, for at least trying to allay my fears.
Sand Posted August 4, 2008 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?

Rosbjerg Posted August 4, 2008 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? One could also be horribly dissapointed - much better to feel indifferent and then pleasently suprised if things turn out for the better, imo. Fortune favors the bald.

Volourn Posted August 4, 2008 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.
jaguars4ever Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 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? 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.
Dark_Raven Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 No. Just no. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
steelfiredragon Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 no and not only no but H@#!@ no Strength through Mercy Head Torturor of the Cult of the Anti-gnome
Hurlshort Posted August 6, 2008 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

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.
Blarghagh Posted August 7, 2008 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 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? TSLRCM, the mod that Wookieepedia doesn't want you to know about: http://www.deadlystream.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4
