http://tinyurl.com/3ylvl4Am I the only one who thinks that a KOTOR mmo would be a bad idea? I have hoped for a KOTOR 3 ever since finishing the second, but I hoped it would have been a single-player rpg like the previous titles. Why would an MMO be a bad thing?First off, KOTOR's story was one of the best parts of the game. (kotor2's story was especially amazing.) Implementing an actual storyline and characters is almost impossible to do in an MMO game. Making a redone version of SWG with a KOTOR name on it would ruin a lot of potential a third KOTOR game has.Second, knowing that it is EA who owns Bioware, console ports of a KOTOR 3 mmo would be very possible. Speculating this, the game (as an mmo) would be dumbed down for the console. A single player game could be done well (as the previous kotor games were on the xbox). There are probably several other reasons why I feel KOTOR 3 would make a far better game as a single-player rpg than an mmo. Seeing it as an mmo would be a very big disappointment for me.Why a KOTOR MMO would be a bad idea:
No worry, EA killed every single mmo they develloped, sowithin 1 year it will be deadand they will release a sp version of the mmo a year after to milk the cow.Why a KOTOR MMO would be a bad idea:
Wow, some people really have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to EA. They are not the only ones fellas, stop buyin the damn games.. and guess what, they stop makin the money! Simple logic right?

Hopefully KOTOR 3 will give us SWG all over again

Bioware is 2nd part ....while they are owned by EA. They are not in house or 1st party. Plus Star Wars is a huge IP, Bioware will do as they please or they won't make the game. Plus LucasArts people will have to quality control it.

as much fun as KOTOR 2 was...and it was a blast, did anyone think the ending was as lame as i thought it was? cuz it was pretty crappy compared to the ending of the first one. the only way it could be a good ending is if they pick up right where the second one left off and tie in what happened to revan.
KOTOR 3 as an MMO would suck for me.The real draw of the series has been the single player story....and I was hoping that KOTOR 3 will conclude the storyline.....if KOTOR 3 made as an MMO it would literally kill any chance of having the series end with a good storyline narrative.It seems kinda of contradictory though, not to long ago BioWare on their on forums literally said they are not working on any future KOTOR games.
It makes me sick that thye are claiming it to be a KOTOR mmo.. Those two names are absolute contridictions of one another.. Its simply a star wars mmo nothing more or less.

This is the main reason EA bought Bioware in the first place.They want to ride the MMO money train to nickel and dimesville. Extra content? Ka-ching!Tie-dyed lightsabers = $$$

Customizing from head to toe and etc. I do think it will suck for an MMO since Bioware makes cool stories. MMOs + stories don't mix well if you want to see an example see the Warcraft series.
EA doesn't give a rip whether old-time fans like it or not. They know that hordes of zombies will come out of the woodwork and pay $20/month for anything that has MMORPG and Star Wars in the title.
I really hope the MMO isn't a continuation from Kotor II, if it even is Kotor... I've never found MMOs to tell a good story, and I don't see myself doing the fun things I did in Kotor I/II, in an MMO.
If the mmo isnt KOTOR 3, I doubt there is a KOTOR in development then. It makes perfect since why we havent heard anything confirmed yet because that would make everyone stop playing SWG currently.
Instead of being story driven it would be level grinding driven. There, that's why. It wouldn't be ''KotOR'' if it were an MMORPG... it would be Star Wars Galaxies 2 set in the Old Republic Era.
Its an absolutely terrible idea. Here's to Team Gizka and their KotOR II Restoration Project! *raises glass*

Their strength has always been great epic single player storylines. (in my oppinion) Gameplay has always been relativly mediocre. Combat in Kotor was rather simple, it got the job done well enough to support the great story and that was kinda it. Second, Bioware has never really been very good with quality control, most of their games tend to have a lot of bugs and flaws if you start doing the quests in a wrong way or wrong order. I'm worried if they are up to the enoumous challange its going to be to keep an MMO realtivly free of gamebreaking exploits and bugs.Still, I've played and enjoyed most if not all of their games. Whatever the MMO is I'm curious to hear more, but it just dosent seem to be something that really plays into their traditional stengths as a game studio.
I will be seriously disappointed if KOTOR turns into an MMO simply for the reason that I hate MMOs. I agree, the story is a big part of the single player adventure and adding MMO is just nuts. I'm fine if they want to add a multi-player component, but I want to immerse myself into the single player game and continue the story. I can assure you that I won't be playing the MMO.
2 reasons why the decision to make KOTOR3 an MMO could suck (I'm not saying it will but the devs will have to overcome these hurdles for me to play it) :1. Story! It's an RPG and as such, the story is VERY important! I'm sure many peoples' fav parts of the previous KOTOR games are the story (that and it's set in the star wars universe :P)2. Pay for play. If they make it pay for play, they can count on having one less customer. I want KOTOR and I would prefer a very single-player focused game and so if it absolutely has to be an MMO, it had better not be pay for play.Ok well that's my two cents lol
