This is a bit long I know OP only said ONE thing but...
I think the skill point system is the way to go. Keep that but become a "class" through point allocation. Then have a higher tier "class" or "classes" in higher lvls that rewards players who didn't make a hybrid and want to specialize in their class further. You can be a hybrid but will never reach the 2nd tier of class. Alternativley you could make a class for every hybrid combination and limit hybrids to only 2 classes. You can also have more than 2 tiers, 3 tiers even! I think this would mix the long road leveling with the old school game.
++Don't Pinhole us into being a Jedi but make the Jedi route everything it should be (friggin awesome)
++Smugglers, Enginneers, Pilots, Soliders, Jedi, Diplomats.--- This would be a great start to the class base from their you could have 2nd and 3rd tier classes of off these (Hacker, Sniper, Bounty Hunter, Commander, Dark Side, Light Side, all sorts of stuff.)
++I think Droids should be a playable "race"
++Open Space combat (giant space battles) and travel as well as vehicular combat and travel on planets.
++Seamless transition from Outer space to entering a planets atmoshpere and landing. You would reaaly get an idea of how BIG the planet your landing on is and It would be cool to strafe enemies with my y wing.
++Within each class give extensive amount of things to do to make the game sandbox. It would be awesome to have another game that runs like EVE, completely autonmously.
++Unique crafting and "quests" for your chosen specialty.
+Reward exploration --give us so many planets and secret areas that there is an Explorer Class! Let us unlock the secrets of the Star Wars world with interesting Lore behind it.
I think thats everything. We will see though, I may be describing just my dream game...
I want to be a Stormtrooper or TIE fighter pilot and finally being promote to squad 501 (Vader Fist)..... Ultimately able to be what i want to be and NO end-game nonsense....
You want to be in the Vader Fist squad....in a KOTOR MMO?

KOTOR = Knights of the Old Republic...Vader will not be born for several thousand years, so the odds of you being able to join the Tie Fighter regemine of his name-sake, is exactly zero.
It is also the reason why seeing jedi on a daily basis will not be a big deal, or damaging to the lore.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

agreed, and REAL mini games that you'd see in a cantina, like holo-chess, dice gambling, some form of pod racing (with the KOTOR bike pods which look a lot cooler than the episode 1 pods) and a real pazzak game, not this "champions of the force" trading card crap! that's about as ridiculous as the Episode 4 and 5 posters they were giving away in the 4th and 5th year anniversary. "Oh hey! I got a collectible Darth Vader Card! Oh look! they put my image in one as well (pointing towards a twi'lek or Luke card) talk about immersion killer! or how about "Hey look, there's me!" (Luke points outto a giant poster advertising Star Wars Episode 4 as he drives Obi Wan through tatooine) come on guys, seriously? Did Luke have a part time acting job that we weren't aware of in the movies?
Originally posted by Ozmodan The thing that will kill the game for me, is if I see a milion Jedi floating around and that, you can bet, is what Lucas Arts wants. I'd like a sandbox, but I would settle for a good Bioware game, IF they can keep Lucas Arts from dictating the design.
The thing is... if it IS a KOTOR based MMO... what do you think will happen???? Of course there will be Jedi, there will be tons of them, as well as Sith.
I hope though, that maybe they'll have a good Teras Kasi Master kind of profession so that I can role play a Sci fi Shaolin/Jackie Chan/Jet Li monk that can give Jedi a good run for their money he he! Don't be too discouraged either, because if say, they add a mandalorian type of race/class/profession (yes I know they are more of a race/class than profession) then I can definetely forsee a lot of hardcore players creating their own Mandalorian armies/guilds to hunt down Jedi/Sith, making it viable for cool battles.
It would be really cool if it was about Star Wars stuff, instead of running around in the wilderness using Kung Fu to murder hundreds of giant chickens for their meat so that I can get a magical shot from a cleric to make me into an invincible robot, or using an enchanted hammer to slay dragons so I can get better tissue for my pew pew.

Oh, and I hope if they do make it at all sandboxy, that they don't make house building so easy that they end up turning Tatooine into Manhattan, like SOE did.

If we're mention things from SWG we'd like not to see, I've got to throw in double ended flint spears that do more damage then the best vibropike.
im confused ... who said it was going to be knights of the old republic online? to my knowledge i though LA only had the patent made for "The Old Republic" which basically is kotor era all the way up to clone wars?
Cutting limbs off with lightsabers and cutting other types of material like thick metal doors. And ship building with sandbox space like EVE but better and a bit simpler. A lot of character customization in attributes and appearence. I want my sith to be able to look like this.

edit: sp and punc
Skill based like SWG was and not lvl based.
Pets that look like Princess Leah in Chains after she was captured by Jabba the Hut.

You want to be in the Vader Fist squad....in a KOTOR MMO?
*sighs*
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
Orion Slave Girls!!
KOTOR = Knights of the Old Republic...Vader will not be born for several thousand years, so the odds of you being able to join the Tie Fighter regemine of his name-sake, is exactly zero.

first person/third person shooter combat!!! aim your gun/lightsaber!!
pvp content!!!
My blog:
advancement like in kotor 1 and 2. why ask this question? those games had a fun system why would they exchange it?
My blog:
1. I want huge open planets full of hidden quests, mobs that drop specific loots and secret bases.

Skill Line based characters instead of Class bases.

Different world, different dev studio. Ops, that's two.
