    And I really hope it's based on the KOTOR-Exar Kun-Jedi Civil War timeframe rather than the Clone Wars so that there is actually freedom to do real storylines, so that we don't end up in "Bizarro world EP4" like SWG became...

    yeah it seems obvious based on the name we can expect a timeline set well before all the movies.

    Smart move, no issues with cannon and plenty of freedom to write a new chapter in star wars lore

    Lol, it would be nice to forget about the Clone Wars, even tho I liked the movie and the new show. The expanded StarWars universe it too massive to be confined to a time set between one crappy movie and one good move (III and IV) here’s hoping for the best MMO ever!

    The veil of secrecy is falling away!

    Well, many of us already highly expected this to be the game - now we wait for the nitty-gritty details of. Will it be a PC MMO that is innovative, immersive and challenging? Or will it be just another WoW knock-off able to be ported to console? I am trying not to be too hopeful....but it is so hard not to be.

    Think that the idea is that there isn't a 404, it's just a white page. ^^

    The Clone Wars ended at the end of Episode III.  The movie and the show are between ep II and ep III.

    Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.

    Missing something.

    The link being presented here is as what some would consider "proof" that the new and upcoming Bioware MMO title will be Star Wars: The Old Republic.

    No your not missing anything.

     

    Go to the link, than when the page loads go to file and save as.  When the save dialog opens up it offers you the ability to save the current page in your browser which just happens to have the default name (provided by the website your viewing) as 'swtor_bioware_com.htm'.

    A place holder for when they make the anouncement, they can upload to "real" site page.

    What really sucks is if your on the east coast than it will not be until 5pm 10/21/2008, because of the time zones.

     

    The west coast is ~3 hours a head of the east coast.

  • SgtFrogSgtFrog Member Posts: 5,001

    you do know time moves uniformally...so even though its at 2pm est, you do realize they are 3 hours behind us and it is only like 11am pst right?

    Oh, you mean the BioWare domain one.  That one is owned by BioWare, since it is a subdomain on their bioware.com domain.
