Because if you read prevoius post and info Bioware has no interest in conutiuning Kotor and as Fyruii said It might me SWG2 because it seems like Bioware is so obsessed with MMO with all these reports

[JediMasterWook]

yea but bioware also said a few months ago they are done making games that arent original IPs- so how does that fit in to them working on a game with lucasarts. and also according to many reports bioware let out info that it is a kotor styled mmo atleast kotor time so i guess it could be swg2 if the era is kotor

K2 would have been a good game if they had just extended the release time, i could have waited, its better than getting a semi-crappy sequel.

i think k2 was a good game it was just disappointing when conversation went blank or parts of the game were obviously missing

[Lordjedi]

well bring on TSLRP

LucasArts own more IPs than Star Wars, and there's no law saying that they're not allowed to create more. Just because LucasArts have something to do with it doesn't mean it's not an original IP. For all we know, the LucasArts-Bioware endeavor could be purely technological. "Interactive Entertainment" is a very broad blanket term indeed.

These 'reports' all link back to one source, which is extremely unreliable. That guy has a history of making stuff up off the top of his head.

There's no evidence to support the claim. Let's face it, if you had access to information like this, wouldn't you be able to get - and provide - proof in order to enhance your credibility? And why would you go to some relatively unknown Wordpress blog, when you could go to the big sites like IGN, Gamespot, or 1Up?

Also, remember that Bioware have, over the last four years, remained consistently insistent that they have no interest in pursuing any further involvement with either KotOR or Star Wars in general. Plus there's the fact that if LucasArts made any move to undermine their contractual agreement with Sony they would be leaving themselves open to a majorly expensive lawsuit. Undeniably, Bioware's recent statement about not wanting to work with other people's established IPs is also rather daming evidence.

I'm not saying the MMORPG is not Star Wars related - I'm in no position to say that (yet, anyway). All I'm saying is, given the evidence it's a dubious claim, at best.

So, don't let yourself get hyped up, otherwise you'll feel mighty disappointed if things don't work out that way. Take it with a pinch of salt, is the term that springs to mind.

i wont be disappointed cuz i have been waiting but not so seriously, only since new rumors have arisen. also the deal with sony ends in 2008 and we all know swg is a load of crud- however in an attempt to continue their swg game i feel they are slowly bringing back pre-nge material as to recruit more fans back to swg. if u remember swg had somewhere in the range of 700k accounts prior to the nge now they have less than 50k- this star wars based mmo is down the drain and lucasarts knows that starwars will sell like it always has they just need to start over

nge? whats that? anyway swg was ok, i tried the trial of it, but it's not really worth paying for, anyway i honestly hope that kotor3 sticks with the gameplay like it was in the first 2 games

The Pre-NGE material is more likely a side effect of SOE assigning a new dev team to SWG, apparently because they "felt the developers were moving Star Wars Galaxies in a direction we felt was weaking the game" (translation from Corporatese to English: "they're bloody idiots and we should have fired them sooner"). I believe one SOE official apologised for the foolishness of not listening to the fans at the time, which may also explain the revisions - redemption.

As for SWG's subscriber numbers.... Understated. There are definitely a lot more than 50k people playing on the Europe servers alone - they're almost always rated as "Heavy" during the day.

New Game Enhancement. A set of patches and modifications added to the game a few years back which, according to most fans, FUBAR'd the whole thing.

NGE was preceeded by the CU (Combat Upgrade), which similarly FUBAR'd the whole game according to some. Personally, I didn't mind, I liked the Pre-CU/Pre-NGE systems, but the new system doesn't particularly piss me off either.
