Well I am a Bioware fan and I play just about all their games. Bioware hardly disappoints their followers and I expect the same from SW:TOR. Only 4 more days until we see what we are getting.

never played Mass Effect but do you think that Combat System would fo a KOTOR style MMORPG?

I'm really not sure what combat system would work for their mmo but I really hope it doesn't turn out to be very sluggish like Warhammer was which I really doubt it will be. I expect their comabt system to be fast paced and I hope we can be able to have an option to use fps mode for guns if we choose that route I expect it to be story driven with cutscenes like Mass Effect which btw were pretty awesome! They really made you be engulfed in the story and you always wanted to see what is going to happen next.

Just curious why do you think they would make an FPS game when the next Battlefront game is in development? I mean why make 2 FPS games?

FPS game ? No way, this won't be no fps game but if you ever played Hellgate or if you have seen the previews for Fallout 3 they give you the option to go into fps mode if you want. I think that would be a really neat feature to have.

2 days and counting. Worst scenario is that there is no KOTORThe Republic MMORPG. Which leaves us with no classic server for SWG and a producer who prefers horror over Sci Fi in charge of SWG. Great!

I am very hopful here...I'm not gonna worry about shit I can't control. Yes I would love to see a Sandbox game set in the KOTOR Universe, but I can wait the rest of my life. One day we will see such a game again.
Who knows what kind of MMORPGs they will have in 25 years.Think about it MMORPGs in their current form have only been around 7 or 8 years now. Look how far the tech has come in such a short time.

Honestly, this isn't the first time I've seen this -- what on earth makes anyone think that a KOTOR/Old Republic MMO is a precursor to a classic server?
So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.

If I'm not mistaken he is simply implying that there is and will not be a classic server, not that it wont happen if there isn't an Old Republic MMO.

LOL, I say once SWTOR is release it the end of SWG. I mean how many people actually still play the game. They are lucky if the have a few 10,000 to 30,000 subs.
I just hope the Sandbox crowd go into the game with a open mind and aren't put off by not have a true sandbox and skill base profession.
Bioware is know for great storyline, choice driven games which is more theme park like WOW and WAR. From what i have read must of the top dev in the project are big fans of WOW and played it.
Combat will be alot like Mass Effect (great game and combat system). I'm hoping for more open and exploreable planet then what was created in KoTOR 1 and Mass Effect. Which I'm sure they will as it a MMP and not a single player game.
We will have about 10 to 12 professions level and feat based. (Jedi,Sith BH and Smuggler) Maybe 4 to 6 races if were lucky at launch. Or they could allow you to create your own race as STO. (Maybe not but we can dream)
Planet wise maybe up to 6 hopefully more (All the one in KoTOR 1 and 2) They have been working on this game since Dec 2005 and are using the Hero Engine which would allow them just to create content and not have to worry about creating the engine. From what I seen the hero engine seem to be amazing and easy to create contact and add too.
#1 - Game given to SOE #2 - Smedley announces "big plans" for the game #3 - One of the big plans is making the game more simple than the NGE #4 - Having to "unlock" such "power classes" in the game such as Jedi, Bounty Hunter, farmer, janitor...
It will be d20 so it will have feats and skills and probably enhancements per class that will improve your feats or skills or racial abilities. my nightmare scenario is all instanced, teleportation travel and worlds that are just hubs for instances and you can't explore them or drop a house. they really have to make the skills count as well.

#9 Bioware adds a Halloween event complete with spooky spiders and Jack'O Lanterns thus ruining the feeling of living in the SW universe....oh, wait....

I don't think so. I think the game will be alot like AOC starting island City. I thought that was really well done. I love how each class type have their own quest series. To bad the rest of AOC was to buggy and incomplete.
Funcom is around company I would never trust. They promise so much and still haven't got it done...
Bioware and LA announce that they're actually working at an Indiana Jones online where Dr. Jones goes back in time to witness the rise of the Roman Empire. "The Old Republic" actually refers to the struggle against Caesar....
Sum of all fears....if 1) it's a Console Game for PS3, Wii, XBOX or any other Platform other than PC. 2) the combat system revolves around a form of FPS & TPS "twitch" mechanic. 3) no open world where almost every area is instanced. 4) few customization options for character / skill look and template. 5) shity, simplistic crafting system where crafters are meaningless and all loot is quested. 6) if micro-transactions are in anyway shape or form part of this game.
A very nice summary of what I, for one, don't want either.

I don't mind playing in my sofa either
If it's console please no FPS.
Had much fun with Kotor I and II, so I guess it could work
Yup love character customization
Doh loot/reward based game.
I don't mind either only if it's for cosmetic stuff.
My biggest fear, knowing Bioware, is it will be too much story oriented so listening endless dialogues, does not fit in an MMO.

I've just been hit with the following, worst nightmare ever idea:
SMED takes the lead of Bioware/EA MMO.
Not that he's 100% responsible for SWG even...
I can only hope that Bioware took the good and the bad things of SWG and improved upon them both.

I for one can't wait til Tuesday and them the new PC gamer on the 23rd for the PC gamer exclusive on the MMO>...

Listen to it about 6 to 7 minutes into it they talk about their feature story and cover page!
Remember Sandbox and SWG fan have a open mind!

WoW with sabers?
All jedis?
The worlds look like the side planets in Mass effect?
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.
It will be d20 so it will have feats and skills and probably enhancements per class that will improve your feats or skills or racial abilities. my nightmare scenario is all instanced, teleportation travel and worlds that are just hubs for instances and you can't explore them or drop a house. they really have to make the skills count as well.
