Galaxies of the Old Republic?
Rumors are circulating the cosmos due to a bit of hearsay on behalf of the rumors section of a recent issue of EGM, claiming that Bioware is currently developing an MMO based around the Knights of the Old Republic series of Star Wars games. Could this be the Star Wars MMO that everyone is truly looking for, or is it doomed to die a fiery licensed-game doom at the hands of its cruel, unyielding masters?
On the one hand, Bioware is well known for delivering some high quality games. On the other, MMOs are a dime a dozen, and it's already been proven that handling a property as huge as Star Wars in an MMO setting and under certain circumstances (SOE) can lead to disastrous ends. Does Bioware have the ability to pull off an MMO, even, given that all of their games are traditionally focused on single-player content? Or is this a formula for success?
Personally, I just got a chance to go back to KOTOR 1 and 2 recently, and I got hooked. I can't wait for a hopeful third entry, and I never ended up playing Star Wars Galaxies. If handled properly, I could lose myself to a Kotor MMO.
What do you folks think?
