At E3 this year Electronic Arts chief executive John Riccitiello was interviewed about the game. The interview can be found here: www.portfolio.com   Thoughts?

I know you pwn me at gaming knowledge, but this has the potential to be a massive Jedi vs. Sith battleground. That would be awesome as hell. Throw in the fact that The story could be Revan against the True Sith, and this would be an awesome game(as well as answer some questions about the True Sith that have been unanswered since 2006)

I mean if it takes place after KOTOR 2, there's countless things they could do. In canon, The Exile was the one that rebuilt the Jedi Order after the Sith nearly wiped them out. In such a dire time of need, age would be cast aside, like Luke's NJO. We'd all start from scratch. That would also raise the risk of pupils falling to the Dark side. Not to mention the things they could do with the True Sith as Sam mentioned. Maybe a large battle event? Who knows?

Honestly, it's a 5 year old game engine now. They're better off just giving minor updates to SWG to keep the small surviving population alive and making this entirely new MMO with a new engine from the ground up. Then maintain that until 2014+ _________________ May The Force Be With Us, Always

Add to that the huge Good/Evil element (Choice system) that made the game replayable will be gone.   That's if they remain Jedi only.  If they were to make it like the OLD SWG, I would support this 100%.  HOwever, if everybody is running around as a jedi, it really isn't much fun. _________________

Lord Invictus Grand Inquisitor Joined: 12 Oct 2007 Posts: 3652 Location: Formerly Lord Mortalis I think three nations is good, with one server (that way it's evenly spread): Jedi- servants of the Republic, you will have a few classes: Footmen- ranged groundsoldiers who fire weapons, and are not force sensative, but work for the Republic. Warrior- Able to heal, and use force, but is primarily lightsaber adept. Er.... mage?- able to heal and use a lightsaber, a mage exceeds in the force. Healer- a healer, able to use a lightsaber and the force. Revan's cult- Footman- ranged.... you know. Dark Rogue- Able to heal, and use force, but is primarily lightsaber adept. Revan Cultist- able to heal and use a lightsaber, a cultist exceeds in the force. Medic- a healer, able to use a lightsaber and the force. Sith: Footman- ranged.... you know. Sith Warrior- Able to heal, and use force, but is primarily lightsaber adept. Sith Cultist- able to heal and use a lightsaber, a cultist exceeds in the force. Sith Alchemist- a healer, able to use a lightsaber and the force. Three classes but it'd be fun if it was skill based instead of WoW clicking. Instead of automatic attacks with abilities, it would be a force unleashed-style game on the PC/Mac involving Acrobatic moves and advanced Force combat. It should be VERY open ended, with ALMOST NO story twisting quests (not like you kill Revan or something... battles are a YES tho....) Only problem is the weak footmen. Apart from that, YES you can convert to REVANISM from Jedi or Sith, you can fall to the Sith from either, or be redeemed by the Jedi. It's hard, but YES you can at ANY LVL. PVP would be strong, and footmen would be needed for tasks though to fill certain positions (ultimately lvls don't do much). THey should allow more races than galaxies.... _________________

You do know how current MMO's are set up right?  KOTOR already offers more realtime combat than WoW or WAR or AoC or anything near it.  In an MMO stance, TFU's gameplay would be impossible, there wasn't even 4-8 person multiplayer for PS3/360. _________________
