I'd just like to point out to those who didn't even read the article - it says massively multiplayer COMPONENT. This in no way makes the game an MMO - Bioware would not take their pride and joy and turn it into an MMO unless they were still planning on the predominantly single player element being present, OR in releasing KOTOR3 separately themselves.
Despite the whoring influence of EA, all it would take is to look at the figures for the first KOTOR (i.e. the one Bioware actually made) and they'd realise the single player alone could be a cash cow to milk for the next decade.
So no, either KOTOR3 will be released separately, or this is most likely an MMO feature, maybe some kind of mass PvP, or even something really lame like character trading.
