KOTOR MMO confirmed by Electronic Arts

Bioware has an incredible chance here to make something amazing. Especially in regards to the KoTOR universe there were (IIRC) a ton of jedis during that time. It really makes the most sense when making a star wars MMO.

I'm thinking about PvP too, could be pretty damn awesome. Instead of just choosing the dark side or light side it would be based off of who you fight. If you start letting your power get to your head, and start killing off people your character will become increasingly evil. Think of the KoTOR system just a bit more advanced hopefully.

I do hope they incorporate PvP though, because the universe is one of the best to have it. Bounty Hunters, jedis running around, ton of conflict...

Bioware has a lot on their hands though, but I'm positive they can pull it off.

well, assuming that in the KoTORO universe everybody wouldn't HAVE to be a jedi, there would need to be some fairly extensive reworking of the balance in the game. Getting one-shotted by a jedi who can deflect your every attack seems a little... extreme.

Unless everybody has to be a jedi, but then there's not much you can do with your character to make him or her unique beyond a purely superfcial level. There are only so many force powers that the developers can throw in to a game, and there are going to be certain builds everyone will want.
