BioWare working on KOTOR MMO?
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 23rd October 2007
A Knights of the Old Republic MMO sounds like a good idea to us...
Tantalising, no?
The rumour was started by Primotech, who cite a source close to the developer as dropping them the hint that BioWare is working on a KOTOR MMO.
Primotech reckons that the MMO will be out on shelves by 2009 and that the game will be built on the Steambase engine, which Bioware picked up the rights to a while back.
The idea of a KOTOR MMO seems fairly logical. The game was hugely successful and spawned a sequel as well as gathering considerable critical acclaim. It's been known for a while that BioWare is hard at work on a new MMO, though the setting has been unknown.
Since BioWare has been bought up by EA recently though, there is a fair bit of speculation that the move has been forced down on BioWare by their new

Sounds like galaxies to me, i'm too leary to waste my money on something like that..but hey it's still in development for over a year, so maybe they'll put something thats worth playing.
Either way, if it involves subscription fees then I'll be disinterested even before an official press release. :p
You forget how much of a 'cash in on the franchise any way possible' whore George is, plus are there still people playing Galaxies? Anyway by the time anything would possibly come of this Galaxies must have ran itself dry by then.
For 18 months it was a really fun game to play. but what probley killed it was the jedi Profession - everyone wanted to be a jedi.
there were 30 Professions when the game started, and now it has 9.
Back on point, after the game started to suffer becouse of the changes that kept being put into the game to try and bring in lots of new players (a plan that only managed to make them loose more of the old players) the bioware rumor started up. I'd say that it has been a rumor for about 2 years now, and started as a rumor that bioware would take over the running of galaxies becouse of the mess that SOE had made of the game (I will never play another SOE game becouse of the mess they made of the game).
It later changed to them making a new mmo based on kotor, and I keep hearing this rumor pop up every now and then. So I would not read too much into it.
Are they just pushing off the single player mode? :(
