Fuck Ewoks.
There you go.
Everyone happy now?
"We've got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development," said Riccitiello. The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. "And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about -- in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it."
Does Riccitiello mean the oft rumored Knights of the Old Republic Online? "Yes," he said.
There you go.

A terrible idea.
That sounds backwards to me or something...
twit feed
They expect the iPhone to do really well as a gaming platform.
I can handle a KotOR MMO as long as it isn't anything like World of Warcraft. I know this is repeated a lot, but I don't want to grind wamp rats until I get Force Lightning at level 10.
And here I was hoping for a completely new property that I might actually care about.
Maybe they can do a Star Wars MMO right, instead of kind of right and then changing it to be completely terrible.
reads to me like PC only. Which would suck for me as I don't have a gaming PC.
That implies that there's a point to SWG currently.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
Makes sense to me since each one could hype the other one up.
I never asked for this!
BioWare have not made a bad game. Period.
I never asked for this!
Look, I know to give them that much credit. But it's an MMO installment for a great series. The story telling elements are gone, or cut back a LOT due to the nature.
Depends. You could eb about to strike the final blow on the final boss when it cuts away to...
"Next time on KOTOR, will PC finally kill Darth Villainus? How about Carth Anasasi. Can he continue to survive despite intense player hatred? All htis and more, when you pay for a subscription to KOTOR MMO! Cya there!"
And this was back in 2006.
I have faith in Bioware to make a good MMO and the KOTOR setting might be the best for a Starwars MMO. I suppose we can only sit and wait. . . and bicker.
I have shit out things better than Star Wars Galaxies.
Seriously, like that time when I was eight and swallowed a plastic sword that came with my Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle.
Bioware + Kotor + MMO = winning formula.
Ouch. My colon just spasmed.
To be fair I did down it to take out Shredder, which I had swallowed an hour earlier.
Shredder never came out, so I can only assume he was vanquished.
They've said that the whole point is basically finding ways to put story telling into an MMO. And since it is a BioWare game I don't see them approaching it any other way.
I realize I'm in the minority but this is the internet so I will pretend my thoughts matter.
If they can pull it off, they will have put themselves in a position of unquestioningly greatness. I guess you can say I'm scared for them. :P
I guess that scene of Casey Jones turning on the garbage compactor should be altered to him hitting the handle on a toilet.
Yeah but Bebop and Rocksteady are still at large.
Who knows what I will have to swallow to stop them.
Also, I agree with Accualt. Star Wars, I feel it has been leeched of all interest. Mass Effect MMO perhaps, but the game is so story driven around Shepard it might be a little bad as an MMO. But like Star Wars, an infinite universe of possibilities is a perfect setting for an MMO.
But but but . . . I think you just love crushing my soul.
Joystiq says this: [Update: 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 – sounds like we can take off our skeptical glasses.]
I never asked for this!
KotOR3 is still going to be a separate project? Oh, okay, phew. I always wanted to see how this Revan shit comes to a close.
It's just a bad idea.
"Is the rumoured game you're making a Knights of the Old Republic MMO?"
"Yes."
What ELSE could he have been saying yes to? In our neck of the woods, that's a pretty explicit confirmation there.
Well there's that. Also the almost complete lack of Jedi during the KOTOR era. And Sith.
Say what you want but people want to play as Force users.
Yeah really. That doesn't leave to much room for interpretation to me. Unless someone asked him if he wanted a Vodka Martini right after the first question was asked and the "yes" was for that instead.
