KOTOR MMO All But Confirmed, but who actually wants it?

[Theo Samaritan]

So while it has been all but confirmed [http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/07/17/riccitiello-confirms-kotor-mmo-from-bioware/] the question that I ask of the people here is, who actually wants this thing?

Me I am half and half. I loved KOTOR but I am aware of what a good series can do when revived so long after the original.

 

[Churchman]

I dont want it because its an MMO, and MMO means I have to deal with people.

 

[Korhal]

Mr. Popularity, eh Churchman?

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I agree with Churchman, I don't like MMO's, I don't want MORE on the market, I want less.

 

[Churchman]

Mr. Popularity, eh Churchman?

Not overly, but thats not why I dont want to deal with MMOs. I should have said Deal with MMO people.

 

[Korhal]

I'd like a good one. I like the concept of MMOs. But the gameplay is always kind of blah at best. I'm not a big PvPer anymore though because I started to realize it pulls the jackass in everyone to the surface.

 

[shadow skill]

I want a game with a story not an MMO.

 

[FriendlyDalek]

Nah. KOTOR was all about the single-player. Intricate plots, deep characters, actual repercussions to your actions. An MMO could never capture that. My guess is that this will be just another WOW clone with a Star Wars skin.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty certain you're right. I'm a huge fan of the KOTOR games, but won't be buying an MMO because I can't stand them...

 

[Churchman]

WOW clone with a Star Wars skin.

Is any MMO released nowadays thats not a WOW clone with a custom skin?

 

[BBLIZZARD]

kotor 3 would be better if it was a 360 title, not a mmo

 

[irrelevantnugget]

MMO = no go. I'm not paying a monthly fee. Piss off, I say.

 

[SilentHunter7]

I dont think I'll be playing it, unfortunately. Inherit in MMO's is you cant play anyone special, and anything you do has no consequences to the game world, both of which go against the core premise of the first 2 games. I want to

Spoiler

take Revan, and lay waste to the true Sith Empire,

not play some random stooge wandering the galaxy in the same era, solely motivated by loot and exp, and who's limited by how much I'm willing to pay in monthly fees.

But I guess they had to cash in on the MMO craze WoW started, and they already ruined Galaxies...

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

This is fail, All big mmos fail at release and then you have to pay them to fix their own mistakes. Its stupid...

Thats another problem. You are important in KOTOR because your the last (or one of the last) jeti trying to fix (or break) everything. With an MMO its going to be thousands of jeti doing stuff thats pointless because nothing is going to change.

Yeah, don't care. I loved KoTOR and I tolerated the unfinished game that was KoTOR 2 (loved the finished parts, but my adoration is balanced by my hatred of unfinished story elements). But I like RPGs because I like PLAYING the ROLE of a main character or a hero, not just some denizen of the universe that a story takes place in. I'm already that in real life. I played WoW for 3 months, could have played more but I found it boring after a while. Even if it were more than a WoW clone, it still wouldn't be on my list of games to play.

 

[countrysteaksauce]

If i had a dime for every franchise that had an MMO....

What's Next?

World of Teamfortress-craft?
World of Red Alert-craft
World of Doom-craft
World of Call of Duty-craft (now set in the napoleonic era)
