Star Wars: The Old Republic

[Arisato-kun]

So as some of us know Bioware is working on a new title. That title is Star Wars: The Old Republic. Now there's been a Star Wars MMO and that was good until they decided to make it like WoW. Bioware has realized this and has taken very careful steps to not be like WoW in any sense.

Now the game is in the very early development stages. So far the things that have been confirmed are as follows:

Classes announced so far:
Jedi
Sith
Bounty Hunter

Races announced so far:
Human
Kel Dor (Plo Koon's Race)
Shaak Ti's Race (The name escapes me...)
Zabrak

Worlds announced so far:
Tython
Coruscant
Nal Hutta

I have to say that I'm really looking forward to this game. This will be the first MMO in a great while that I actually feel will be worth my money. Things I have not mentioned above are a storyline for each individual class with choices that will change the allies you can recruit and characters you interact with and the highly likely inclusion of the d20 battle system. If anything think of the actual KoTOR games.....but online.

So who else is looking forward to this game? If you aren't then why?

So far this sounds pretty cool, could rank up there with that DC superheroes mmorpg that's being produced. So is this just for the computer, or is there a console release planned?

So far there is only a PC release planned. It's gonna be an MMO so I don't know how well it would fare on consoles.

Shit , This is awesome

if its a MMO I won't be able to play it...my computer sucks and is not really able to handle any games these days (with technology updates everyday).

But I know Drew Karpyshyn is one of the writers for the game (the writer for KOTOR and author of the Darth Bane novels) and with him on board, its bound to be a good storyline.

For those wondering about the story Bioware has released info about it. This is the first in a series of trailers that will explain the story behind The Old Republic. I gotta say this story is looking phenominal and it makes me want the game even more.

There's also a prelude to the main story that they are releasing in the form of a webcomic.
