Their meetings in Edmonton used to start with the phrase "No we can't talk about the MMO".

     

    Lol, no - besides, TH is long gone - as now is Greypawn.

    So, I've been looking back at how much you seem to know about a lot of MMO's in all of your other posts.  As well as either put them down or spread incorrect speculation on them.

    May I guess you already know all of what is going on at BioWare as well (since you seem to be enforcing the two year old "draft" as fact) and all there is to know about the new MMO?  (I seriously doubt you know any more than my wife who doesn't even know what MMORPG means.)

    Reading the draft is like reading every one of a hundred other concepts...  it's got a few good ideas and a lot of bad ones.  When I looked further I found more garbage from this same "source" saying that they were taking the database of the Pre-CU servers and dumping it into that system.  Then a bunch more nonsense of Elder Jedi getting to be the new level 90 and so many skill points to distribute, etc. etc. etc.  Complete garbage.

    *If* BioWare is working on a Star Wars MMO, I'm sure they wouldn't want the old SWG databases cluttering up their systems. :P

    What is really going to be funny is that if their MMO is not a Star Wars based one - your credibility in any facet will be irreparable.  Then of course even if it is SW based, and claiming that this "source" is correct, again it's irreparable.

     

    I never said you or anyone here had to believe it, hell I question it and it’s ok to do so. I was only correcting you on a few things. You said this showed up a year ago, the person who posted it was the same source. You tried to point out that  because Thunderheart said it was a rumor, that it was untrue. It is a rumor, but no one knows if that rumor is true or not. No idea why you have this vendetta to squash it, but like other rumors around here take what you want and leave the rest. No need to get all emo about it.

    Come on, if that is fact for the BioWare MMO or another Star Wars MMO, it's not going to do anything other fail, it sounds worse than preCU, worse than post NGE and worse than anything else you could imagine.

    What I don't understand is why LA and BioWare announced their deal now.. with ME and Force Unleashed due out soon.. maybe building up hype for the two companies in anticipation of generating more sales of their current titles? Seems like bad timing to me.

    I don't know if it's true or not but I do know that this was never posted on any SOE forums. It's about a year old. At the time this came out there were a lot of other rumors and this one fit in well with them. Could have been just someone's idea of a joke. Who knows, but the fact is there is no need to attack the person that posted it here. For them it's third hand information. The person that posted it originally  ( one year ago) sid that someone sent this to them. They also said that they did not know if it were true or not.

    I don't claim to be right, I'm just posting.

    I honestly hope so. I am still very skeptical myself when I read the grouping dynamics. Grouping with NPC's???? Yes I know it can be done, Guild Wars has it, FFXI has it as well. but in FFXI it's limited and I honestly don't like it in Guild Wars because it means you can just solo through out the whole game without ever having to play with another player ever.
    Don't get me wrong, I like KOTOR and I like the grouping dynamics for KOTOR, but that's just because KOTOR is a single player game. I honestly can't see this same dynamic being used for Bioware's new MMO. If that were the case, then more than likely I'd never ever have NPC buddies because I'd rather group with player characters... you know... interact and socialize. NPC groups kinda discourage that.
    Actually, grouping with NPCs would be great for the game today, given the current live populations.
    That's not a dig. I'm serious.  They should implement that

    Oh no no no, don't get me wrong... I'm sure NPC grouping can work for SWG now... but this is supposed to be evidence (emphasis on supposed to) of the rumored MMO for Bioware's SW MMO. What I was saying was that, if Bioware does end up making an SW MMO, then I hope it doesn't have NPC grouping because I don't think it would be needed. Personally, I'd rather group with other players anyway.

    Actually, it is people's own fault for reading too much in it. It was posted as PURE RUMOR from something sent to me a year ago. It was kept to RLMMO trusted members only, and was now released to the public because of its potential connection to the new MMO from Bioware.

     

    It was posted as food for thought and maybe might shake a few more details free from LA/Bioware if it's anywhere close to valid.

     

    Y'all are acting like this is trying to disprove gravity FFS. It's a RUMOR and is posted as such. No more, no less.
