It's a big day for Bioware. First, Dragon Age scrubs up very nice indeed, and now EA have only bleedin' gone and revealed they're planning Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: The MMO. Yes, with Bioware at the till. [Pauses for internet-wide cheer]. "As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in rapture and were suddenly fanboys..."

It's been rumoured for ages, but E3 saw EA's John Riccitiello drop a conclusive bombshell. Quote'n'that under the jump.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'd better be able to play as a Jawa.

So, Galaxies 2 then. Righto.

Hopefully not. Bioware are developing it, and it's EA not Sony who're publishing it. MMass Effect?

Hopefully you can play as the Death Star.

Actually more realistically I hope the missions won't be like the side-missions in Mass Effect and that you won't constantly be ganked by twenty Jedi. Also, I would have preferred KoTOR3.

Obsidian are sitting on the script for KOTOR3 apparently, just waiting on a green light to make it.

As for this, potential imo, but lots of room for it to get fucked over as well.

Having read the Portfolio page, I can't really see where he talks about the game. They seem to be more worried about it making money than actually being any good.

I'm not holding my breath.

Mass Effect-esque would be nice, but I'd better be able to play that blue alien type that Ayla Secura is. Oh, and Simon, the Killer Ewok.

She looks like a Twilek, which was a playable race in SWG wasn't it? Jabba's dancer and his right hand man, Bib Fortuna, were the same race. They're a pretty well established (storywise) race.

Don't know, never played, in Hungary, it wasn't available anywhere in the stone age.

Yeah, she's a Twi'lek. I know they were playable in the old RPG, as my character was a rather grumpy one.

I might be interested, given that every other MMONG has bored me shitless recently.
