stated on D&D forums certainly, Bioware's game is NOT a D&D title .

You can delete the options Baldur's Gate or NWN.

One step closer to KOTOR :)

    I think its been pretty clear it wont be kotor anyways. besides i rather have a new sci-fi mmo ip.

    Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time.

    If the Powerball lottery was like Lotro, nobody would win for 2 years, and then everyone in Nebraska would win on the same day.
    And then Nebraska would get nerfed.-pinkwood lotro fourms

    What make you think it won't be a KOTOR MMO? What makes it so clear? I guess I would be down with a new Sci-Fi MMO, but SW is my favorite!

    bioware said they want to use their own IP plus LA wont let someone else publish a star wars game and EA wont let someone else publish their game.

    I cant wait to laugh at all the people who says biowares not making kotor mmo.

  • ArndurArndur Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 2,202

    just look at this reasoning

    1why would EA a publisher let someone publish their game?

    2 i cant think of a SW game LA has not published.

    3if this did start in early 2005 then either they didnt start as a SW game or LA thought that CU destoryed SWG or that the NGE would and pulled the IP. which if they did could explain just the content updates with no word on a expanison.

    so please try to prove me wrong. i would like kotor online but it aint happening.

    i went to the website and i only found this

    a year old statement that all it says is that they are making a mmo no offical word on what it is.

    This could be just a wild guess, but if they're making the MMORPG their own I.P, could it possibly be that they're basing the MMORPG on Mass Effect? I mean, what's the point in kotor online if they want to concentrate on their own I.P's rather than everyone elses and besides, I' heard that they had trouble with Lucas Arts which is why they didn't make Kotor 2 or something.

    Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.

    good point their why didnt they make kotor 2? i think it was becuase of a dispute between them and LA so why would LA give them the IP for a MMO a much bigger project.

    a KOTOR MMORPG would suck, what classes would there be besides ... jedi? They are the ultimate elite people in SW, so in turn they would have to be an alpha class. IT Would NOT work. My money goes to either a Mass Effect MMORPG, or one of their other IPs. I myself hopes its based off mass effect.

    They didn't like the restrictions of working with LucasArts, but the primary reason they didn't make KotOR II was that they didn't have anyone available to work on it at the time.  They were still working on Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and some game that they ended up canceling.  The 'We're going to stick with our own IPs from now on' thing was retracted shortly after it was revealed that they were working on an MMO.

    Knights of the Old Republic I and II are based on a modified Star Wars d20 RPG which is based on Dungeons and Dragons.  If you've ever played KotOR you know there are classes like Scout and Soldier.  Not to mention even if the game was all Jedi, SWd20 has many different kinds of Jedi classes and prestige classes.  It obviously won't be like SWG though.

     

     

    I'm not arguing that it will be KotOR, but lack of classes certainly isn't a good argument since SWd20 certainly has several classes available.

    Guys Bioware/Pandemic does NOT own the IP to their MMO.  It has been posted on this site over and over again.

    Thank god! I'm getting SOOOOOO tired of Fantasy MMO's... no offense to Baldurs Gate or NWN fans... it's just that I'm honestly getting SOOOO tired of the whole Fantasy MMO genre because the market is over saturated with them, and I usually like Fantasy a lot. Loved the LOTR movies, loved the Dragon Lance Series but I'm just getting tired of the Orc v. elf games. I want something different for a change and there really aren't a lot of sci fi MMO's out there... We should show Sci Fi MMO's some love and some support for once.

    True!

    I just wish they would go public with what it is they are doing. All the suspense serves to do is create speculation, rumor, and lies....Please let it be KOTOR!
