The dude in charge of this game waxed lyrical about the importance of using a strong pre existing IP for MMOs at a conference a few months ago.

So, yeah.

Whatever is whatever, Bioware has shown nothing but greatness in it's releases much like Blizzard even though they are owned by a huge corp. I for one will be looking foward to this.

In the hopes that SOMEONE on this project reads this post:

1. Focus on good combat mechanics rather than tradeskill stuff.
2. Have realistic physics.
3. Balance Jedi with non-jedi rather than making Jedi hard to get.
4. Make different types of servers with very, very open PVP, along with carebear servers.

If this is based in the KOTOR timeframe you would hope everybody would be Jedi's right off the bat and that they would just have to choose between being a Jedi Knight or Sith. Would be pretty simple to balance in that case. Though this would seem to lead to a heavy PVP flavor in the game and that may not be what most Star War fans are looking for /shrug

I want to be in that old man's alien racist club at the beginning of KOTOR.

Fucking aliens taking are jobs.

I don't know, they've been working on it since '05 so '09 sounds reasonable to me.

Edit: For reference here is an interview with one of the main guys talking vaguely about the game: BioWare Austin Talks About Upcoming MMO news from 1UP.com

LIKE SERIOUSLY.... this is one of the few games that I have played that I remember thinking to myself "God this would be a great MMO".

I agree with having being a jedi the norm.. and maybe add a few extra classes(like playing as a robot with removable parts would be sweet)..... really focus the system around leveling up your jedi and choosing a path(dark/light) as well as a combat style(physical/force).

o look a jedi, GANK IT! SWEET HE DROPPED HIS LIGHT SABER +5.

I don't think there will be too many problems with Bioware designing good content for the PvE aspect of the MMO, but I don't see myself playing this game unless the Sith vs. Jedi PvP lore will play a big part of the game.

Too much brown.
This could turn it around for Star Wars.

Hunter-Killer. A type of droid.

So much potential, we'll see how much of it gets implemented properly.
