KOTOR MMO and SWG bridging together anyhow?

So, when players do anything monumental in the upcoming KOTOR MMO, will monuments to their battles, evidence of their deeds, etc. show up in the SWG MMO (which, as goes without saying, takes place almost 4,000 years later?)

Also, if a KOTOR MMO player somehow leaves their belongings or something underground in a crypt, on a moon, in space, or anyplace archaeological, can an SWG player dig up that KOTOR MMO player's artifact in SWG?

I would love to see how the actions of the players in the KOTOR MMO change anything in SWG! Will anything like that happen?

    That would be cool. But they're two seperate companies. SOE has swg and Bioware is doing KotOr. So its a definate no

    Definitely not.

    If you need another no, here you go, no. If anything like that ever did happen either the comapnies would merge(which won't happen) or they come to some type of agreement(but thats 1 in a billion)

    SWG is only developed by SOE, it can be considered as LucasArts though too.  If this so called Kotor MMO turns out to be true, both will ultimately be controlled by LA - LA is in control of what goes into SWG and I doubt it would be any different for a future SW MMO too.

    Who knows, maybe LA will end up doing something like SOE does with their MMO's where you can pay a flat fee and get access to both MMO's

    Stop kidding yourselves.  SWG isn't going to be an option when another Star Wars MMO goes live.

    That is so ridiculous its halarious.

  • AveBethosAveBethos Member Posts: 611

    It is ridiculous to think that SWG will function when the next Star Wars MMO goes live.

    However, he actually has a cool idea.  That would be really unique to do, though it isn't feasible with how SWG is set up.

    Bioware/EA will want NOTHING to do with SWG.  They want to position themselves as far away from this monstrosity as possible.  If there ever were 2 good Star Wars MMO games out, this might be really cool.

    By the time Old Republic Online is even close to release the SWGemulators will be in full swing and each one of them will probably have 3-4 times the population as SOE's game.

    I get how it's not feasable with Bioware trying to get away from SWG, but could it be possible with the programming?

    Could it be possible to choose one person out of every fight even if it was just between two characters or NPC's and have one of them be a corpse that is lootable but make it so it is only lootable once?

    I own KotOR 2 so I know that the lightsabers (at leasts in the second) are upgradeable. There could be some sick lightsabers out there. And more colors, Orange, Silver, and Veridian.

     

    Its a sweet idea.

    And yes i know there are Orange crystals but not everyone can get them.

    i come in paece untill i shoot lol i do come in peace

    The only true way to know, is wait for the game to be released.

    Until then... rumors will fly and SWG vets (That still love beating the dead horse) will pray and wish this is SWG2.

    I have zero hopes for this.  Why should I?  It seems every other company loves to release crap.  What's different about Bioware?  They don't have a perfect record either .

    Don't count all the eggs before they're in the pudding.

  • SelenciaSelencia Member Posts: 180

    I'm not interested in KOTOR after reading that the Bioware devs have been playing World of Warcraft and using that game as inspiration.

    obviously you dont know anything about bioware, because they have about the best reputation in the gaming industry.

  • BodyBuilderBodyBuilder Member Posts: 176

    They have released some bombs.  No company is 100%.  That's all I'm getting at.

    I have no more hopes for this style of game anymore.  Too many money hungry companies believe they can spoon feed us crap and beta and expect people to pay, and they do!

    Until this game comes out and proves me wrong, it's another Age of Conan right now.  All hype, and nothing more.

    Go ahead and list them.

  • BodyBuilderBodyBuilder Member Posts: 176

    You're one of these people that hug their pillow at night for security eh?

    Shattered Steel

    Witches Wake

    Pirates of the Sword Coast

    The games they are known for are Baldur's Gate, Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights.

    I will admit they have made some good games, no company is 100%.  If you can't see past your blindfold and veils then you'll probably be one of the first to cry "OMFG, this game is SOOO BAD!!! WAAAAAAAAA!"

    As stated before.  Until it comes out, I could care less.  All hype and hopes.  (A lost hope?)

    Hugging the pillow at night huh?  *insert a roll of the eyes*

    Shattered Steel - How old is this game?  It has to 15 years old right?  Yep, it was released for MS-DOS in 1996...  It was also the first game that allowed the terrain to be altered.

    Witches Wake and Pirates of the Sword Coast are just content modules for NWN.

    I would say you are just trolling.  If any company has a good record it is Bioware.  I believe the new KOTOR MMO will play like Mass Effect, the same guy who designed the Mass Effect combat is doing the Bioware MMO combat design.  I am willing to be it will look like Mass Effect with a Star Wars skin.

    I agree.  SWG will probably receive its finally blow with the new SW MMO.  I doubt they will even keep it running shortly after the new one releases.

    Interesting point by the OP though.  It would be cool wouldn't it, but there is absolutely no connection between the two.

    Hmm thats one stupid thread, why not have the stuff you did when you played yoda stories be displayed too?

    If it's not possible for preCU SWG and NGE-SWG to exist together... I doubt it's going to be possible for SWG and KOTOR-MMO to exist together.  I know, I know... different scenario and set of circumstances with the preCU/NGE-SWG issue, but still... I doubt LA is going to want to try to tackle monitoring both MMO's at the same time.

     Yes KOTORO will have an impact on SWG. When it is released , SWG will officially die ....thank god.
