Well, here's hoping this is the previously talked about Bioware-made Star Wars MMO. *crosses fingers*

 

[GFreeman]

I'd rather have KoTOR III than a KoTOR MMO, but I'd take the MMO too.

 

[hippie_hunter]

KOTOR III! KOTOR III! KOTOR III dammit!

KOTOR III! KOTOR III! KOTOR III dammit!

Yes, if Lucasarts and BioWare are in bed together again, KOTOR III must be their first and top priority. Bring the people what they NEED!!

 

[Dark_Lord]

I'd rather have KoTOR III than a KoTOR MMO, but I'd take the MMO too.

I agree.
What I'd like even more, though, would be KotOR III that would lead to a KotOR MMO...t:

 

[GFreeman]

That would be good. It'd be nice to see Star Wars Galaxies - Done Right Edition.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Especially if they called it that.

 

[블라스]

I hope it's KOTOR 3.
It must be KOTOR 3.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I hope it's Howard the Duck.
It must be Howard the Duck.

 

[블라스]

A plague upon your house!

 

[Zenien]

Sony Online should just shut down SWG, seriously, what an embarassment.

 

[Fenrir]

A next-gen KOTOR would be pretty damn sweet.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Bioware's working on an MMO.

This must be it.

 

[Fenrir]

Bioware's working on an MMO.

This must be it.

F**k MMORPGs. :

 

[Zenien]

Mmo Mmo Mmo!

 

[Addendum]

If it's an MMO, I'll pass. Even though I've been a Bioware fan since Baldur's Gate

 

[ProjectPat2280]

This is Knights of the Old Republic 3. Its gotta be.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I hope it's Howard the Duck.
It must be Howard the Duck.

Now that's what I'm talking 'bout!

I want RC2, yeah I know it wasn't made by Bioware but I still want it.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

F**k MMORPGs. :

I'm with you on that. I hate More Pigs!!!

 

[Addendum]

I hope it's Howard the Duck.
It must be Howard the Duck.

The comic books were far, far better than the movie.

 

[GFreeman]

Sony Online should just shut down SWG, seriously, what an embarassment.

I'd say they're pretty close to it. I downloaded a 14-day free trial not long ago, and so far, I've seriously seen less than 10 people on this server, and I've been to two planets and that starter station so far. It's deserted

 

[Downhere]

If they do end up making a KOTOR 3, can they change the fighting system. I couldn't even finish KOTOR because the fighting system was horrible. Didn't even bother playing II.

 

[GFreeman]

Considering how successful the first two were, I doubt they'll bother. There's plenty of twitchy action games out there for the Madden crowd.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What was wrong with the fighting system? It worked fine for me.
