A source close to BioWare confirmed to us today that the studioâ€™s upcoming untitled massively-multiplayer online RPG will be centered around the Star Wars universe, specifically that of Knights of the Old Republic, which the developer released in 2003. The game garnered critical acclaim and spawned a less-popular sequel, released by Obsidian two years later.

The game is being developed by the companyâ€™s Austin studio, formed in 2006 and headed by BioWare Creative Director James Ohlen, whose past credits include the first KOTOR, Neverwinter Nights, and Baldur Gateâ€™s I and II.

This is not the first Star Wars-related MMORPG: Star Wars Galaxies debuted in the summer of 2003, followed by several expansions. It was generally well-received by fans and critics, but subscriber numbers plunged and never recovered after a controversial gameplay update in 2005. Itâ€™s estimated that the game now has fewer than 100,000 subscribers and less than 20,000 active players.

Itâ€™s currently unknown whether or not EA, which acquired BioWare last week, will act as publisher for this title, or if the studio had a previous arrangement with another publisher.

Expect the game sometime in 2009.

This belongs in General Discussion, Thierry not here in our OOC chat.
BTW everything is rumor till Lucas announces something. I don\'t believe they would make another SW MMO when there is still one out there, even if the subscribers (me being one of them) has plunged.

GO ahead and buy anything you need that doesn\'t have a restriction of anything higher than military and sell for half the cost listed in the book. You also got 2000 credits (IIRC) from bringing back Varth.

I have sent almost all of you reminders to check your character sheets and to level them. Please make sure they are up to date before gametime on Saturday. The sooner the better,

Also make sure you keep an eye on the "Announcements" thread. All important information and updates can be found there.
See ya Saturday night.
