Anyway according to rumours, Bioware may be working on an online version of it's hit RPG series. Though cynics may see this as being influenced by it's being purchased by EA a few weeks ago, the rumours extend back as far as May of this year.

So what does this mean for gamers ? Other than a online Star Wars game which actually would pwn if left in Bioware's hands for the proper length of time [Obsidian and Lucasarts take note here], it gives the big B an absolutely incredible segment of Star Wars history to play around with. I mean lets face it, LucasArts really dropped the ball in decided to stick with the time period between Eps IV and V for Galaxies, as really Jedi or Sith are the main reason anyone digs Star Wars, that and Mando'a, but that's just personal opinion.

Even if this game is fee-paying, if the game is good enough, I would be willing to shell out for it.

Other people's thoughts ? Even if the rumours turn out to be false, what would your thoughts be on a KOTOR MMORPG ?[/SIZE]

[PWNED]

This would be utterly awesome, I'm currently playing KOTOR 2 on my computer and the original on my X-box. When did these rumour begin?

I'd Mark out if you could play as an Assassian droid like HK-47. That would take the cake for utter awesomeness.

[SIZE="1"]According to the article, the rumours go back as far as April or May of this year. I also did a little more investigation and apprently Bioware's latest project, codenamed "Texas" is an MMORPG, though it does not elabourate on exactly what genre or franchise it's based on. Fingers crossed though it'll be a lightsaber fest.[/SIZE]
