 Star Wars: The Old Republic I'm sure everyone's heard by now about the new Knights of the Old Rebpublic.
Opinions?

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic A little info posted today on MTV.com. Official site: http://www.swtor.com/Quote: LucasArts, BioWare Confirm MMO ‘Star Wars: The Old Republic’
Posted by Patrick Klepek on 10/21/08 at 5:30 pm.
Just a few moments ago, LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez confirmed their rumored collaboration with BioWare for a “Star Wars” PC MMO.
It’s called “Star Wars: The Old Republic.”
“There’s been some rumors recently in the past few months,” joked BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka. “We thought about ‘Howard the Duck’ MMO, but maybe that’s a little too crazy, a little too far out there.”
Muzyka described “The Old Republic” as a story-based MMO, and they’ve wanted to make a game like this for over a decade now. He describes “The Old Republic” as the fan-requested “‘Knights of the Old Republic’ 3, 4, 5, 6 and beyond.”
The game is now playable, though we won’t be playing the game at LucasArts’ event today. Right now, they’re focusing on tweaking gameplay at LucasArts, BioWare and Electronic Arts and said we’ll be seeing more of the gameplay “soon.”
The graphics look stylized. But while not realistic, they’re not as extreme as say, the animated “Clone Wars” movie.
BioWare’s emphasis is on story. They described story as the “fourth pillar” that has yet to be explored in online games. “The Old Republic” will tell a “powerful” story set thousands of years before the “Star Wars” movies. It’s the same setting as the popular “Knights of the Old Republic” games.
But they did show a trailer to set the stage for the game. The video was completely story-centric, but gave away few details and showed no in-game footage from “The Old Republic.” The emphasis of the trailer was on the fight between good vs. evil. “Who will you choose?” the teaser asked.
A rep for the game said the developers are only talking about a PC release today, declining to address whether there will be console versions.
We’ll be interviewing LucasArts and BioWare today about “The Old Republic.” Stay tuned for more details.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic This is just me but I don't beleive in buying a game where I have to carry on paying for to play.
Although the idea of an MMO being story based does sound really good.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic I think I would pay a monthly subscription for this game. Especially if it is the only new game around the KOTOR era. I would love it if they made it for the consoles as well, but for right now its just Pc. I would get it either way.
