Nothing on that.

I nosed around a bit and BioWare is working on a MMORPG Star Wars game set in the old republic for sometime next year. Closest game to another KOTOR coming... but it's not a KOTOR III.

Another KOTOR would be nice if it's better than the last one.

There have been rumors floating around about KotOR III since about a year after Sith Lords came out. The latest boost was in an interview with a representative of LucasArts a year or so ago, in which they listed KotOR as one of the intellectual properties they thought was still viable.

Word is that the basic problem with Sith Lords was that LucasArts started pressuring Obsidian, wanting the game in the stores before the Christmas buying season started. They had to drop a number of plots, including a mission to find the planet that was producing all those knockoff HK-50s (the first clue was supposed to be in the sealed military base under the environmental-control base on Tanis, leading to a world run by an insane AI). There was also supposed to be a more explicit, and dramatic, reveal of the nature of G0T0, and a bit more of a showdown with the Remote on Malachor V.

If a KotOR III is made, one hopes the software company will be given the time they need to complete it. (I've read a number of plot suggestions, but most of them require taking the lead character from one of the last two games and nerfing him/her heavily. I think it'd be a better idea to start with a new graduate of the new Jedi Academy, started by the Lost Jedi that the Exile had gathered together, and set him/her the task of finding out where Revan and the Exile had gone, and whether they needed reinforcements. Finding the trail could involve revisiting a number of planets from previous games, and/or finding new ones. Of course, by the time the Hero finds the others, he/she would be powerful enough to be the reinforcements...)

It would be ausome, I have played the second and enjoyed it. I liked Mass effect but it didn't have lightsabers and stuff which I liked.

One thing that let me down was the fact I could not dress any of them in the dancing thing that Jabba got princes Leiyer to wear.

The rumor-mill for KOTOR had died down a lot until as recently as this week.. since then, I've seen a number of fairly official looking sites reporting on KOTOR 3. It's something to do with LucasArts not making games anymore - but outsourcing? Not quite sure since I didn't read the details.

Actually, the reporter assumed that the second game mentioned in the statement was a variation of KotOR III, or even a Star Wars game at all. Bioware has made other games, after all - since this is apparently in association with EA, for all we know it could be an MMO based on Madden Football!

I like the Kotor series (1 is probably my favourite due to it's completeness and fairly solid plot unlike kotor2) but I've been getting pretty annoyed with the waiting for the third installment :P this mmo is going to be set sometime in the old republic, but as far as I know not actually acting as the conclusion/sequel to kotor 2. At least I hope it won't be :S

The KOTOR series was fantastic, they must atleast try to continue it on.
