KOTOR Online, is anyone going to make this possible goldmine?

After the series of unfortunate events that occured in SWG the gaming community has been calling for a new starwars MMO. What I don't understand is why there arn't any companies that are jumping all over this potential 1mill+ subscriber MMO, just a thought... Even if it isn't exactly "KOTOR" there are alot of possibilities that would work for this style of game.

    There's too many crappy Star Wars games overall. Making a SW game is in theory always a good bet but buying them isn't :)

    They can make a similiar game but can't call it Starwars unless they have some sort of contract/permission. Otherwise, they will have to reinvent everything.

     You referring to the SW license ? lol and if Kotor was made it would be made by Bioware, they wont have a problem with the license part :)

    I think its about time for another good space mmorpg. KOTOR sounds like a good setting for it. And why not give it a try. I would definitely give it a go :)

    A KOTOR online sounds like a great idea for the most part, really the best part is that the job system is almost there allready. I imagine it would need a bit more tweaking for use in a grander scale, but if the game were to only allow players to be Jedi then it is mostly useable as is. Of course, one of the bigger problems would be deciding what section of the Old Republic to place the game in. They could put it probably before and partially during the first game for a good spot, during the jedi civil war. In both game's theres constant hints at how grand the war actually appeared, so the setting is pretty open for the most part. Might make for an intresting idea.

    It's a good day to beleive

    I agree....

    I am all for any star wars based game that actually resembles the star wars universe. Now that SWD has turned into jedi vs bounty hunter wars It would be nice to have an ACTUAL star wars MMO.

    Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.

    Too many Star Wars games? I see you're showing off your ridiculous inexperience with the MMORPG market again, Gorukha. There are currently two conventional science-fiction MMORPGs on the market- Star Wars Galaxies and Anarchy Online. We could really do with more. Why don't you get your head out of the dirt once in a while?

    Yeah, I'm sure it is, but I don't wanna play it because it looks boring.. KOTOR Online would be a good idea though.. Sure would be some serious profit in such a project.

    One of SWG's problems was the timeline they choice for it.  Plain, and simply.  Most people that want to play a MMO based on StarWars.  Would want to be Jedi.  Why would you pick a timeline where jedi are all but extinct.  SWG should have been placed in or relatively close to KOTOR timeline.  A time where there were a decent amount of jedi (so no one would be surprised seeing one run around), and plenty of Sith (so no one would be surprised seeing them around either).

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    Honestly, a KOTOR mmo would work out much better than SWG.

    The main thing is you wouldn't have all of the main "familiar" characters in the game, considering KOTOR is much, much before all of those incidents.

    If bioware were to do an MMO based off of it I would get it for sure. I would probaly see it as faction based to a point. If they gave it a nice skill structure system (not class based) it could easily rule the MMO world.

    I totaly agree with you there, The grafical quality would be stunning..
    However I do hope they dont make the mistake of full Player Economy....

    KOTOR as an MMO sounds sweet and I do hope they do it or make SWG like it...
    That would be more fun then whats around today.

    just a small question

    why aren't they just undo all the changes and go back to the old formula to get all or atleast some of their old and realy large fanbase??

    or at least they can make some servers run the origniel game and some the "new and improved" game

    Because they risk losing what little subscribers they still have who like the game as it is.

    well as you know

    fortune goes with the bold

    beside they can still open just 1 new server and try it out

    Absolutely! SWG is just dead now. I would love to see a new Star Wars MMO. Not sure how it would work out in the KOTOR age of the Galaxy though.

  • AcidicPlagueAcidicPlague Member Posts: 5
     Starwars Galaxies had something going, but they took a bad turn at the NGE. 

     It is still Starwars though, and I feel that the starwars name would still have alot of potential if they were to make another SW themed MMO. There are a plethora of interesting things to base MMOs off, but that isnt want tend to make MMOS good - there would have to be some new innovation we havent seen before.  Otherwise it would just become another clone of a popular MMO with a different title and story.
