IT’S OFFICIAL: Bioware/LucasArts KOTOR MMO
This has been rumored and leaked, but finally, it’s a reality: LucasArts and Bioware are back together again, and they’re making a MMO based on Knights of the Old Republic.
One of the best things about KOTOR is that it’s free of George Lucas’ contrived universe with fruity kid’s names like Dooku and Naboo. It has a Yoda-like Jedi Master who doesn’t speak like he’s in Remedial English. It doesn’t have Joseph Campbell stuffed up the wazoo, and no one screams out, “Yahoo!” There are Grey Jedis in KOTOR, and some of the most fascinating individuals have sprung from the series, notably Revan and Kreia.
This is the one MMORPG that could truly give World of Warcraft a run for its money. How psyched are you for this?
(Thanks, Joystiq.)

if they make a MMO out of KotOR 3 i think much of the KotOR series fans would be disappointed, what we need to finish the series is a good old fashioned RPG! I strongly advise LucasArts to reconsider(even though the game hopefully will be released around christmas
