Been announced & I for one really cannot wait to see what Bioware are going to do with this! I hope it doesn't end up the same way SWG did

Thanks for the info

This may well become the first MMORG I have played in years. Bioware are sure to make this a winner

Did you manage to miss the thread about it?

Any idea when they're aiming for release?

Could this be SWG incarnate? God i hope so...

This game will be a big bag of fail im afraid to say.

Basically you'll be getting KOTOR, heavily instanced and the only MMO part will be a Foyer full of players.

If i'm wrong, i'll eat my anus.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 22 Oct 2008 at 23:39

I'll get you a plate and some utensils then

Yeah I did, I did ask for the thread to be closed.

I have no idea when the release date will be, I hazard a guess late next year/2010? possibly.

I'd blame LA mate, SoE was actually in the process of revamping classes such as squad leader & had planned for a few weeks later a ranger revamp, When the horrible mess NGE was forced upon us all.

Don't get me wrong SoE did make a fair few mistakes throughout the life of SWG. But I feel the majority of the blame should go to LA they saw WoW was dominating & wanted a piece of the pie which didn't happen.

Anyhow lets keep this in the thread already going shall we!

Well considering Bioware LA is made up of Ex SoE and Wolfpack members, dont expect much

.

Remember this isn't Bioware as in Mass Effect, KOTOR and so on, thats a different side.
