Seeing as there isn't an official thread started about this yet I thought I'd do the honours!
Bioware is developing Star Wars: The Old Republic, an MMORPG set a couple of hundred years after KOTOR2. It seems they are actually fairly far along too, although I'm not sure there will be a release anytime this year.
The official website is http://www.swtor.com/ and actually has some info about the game now, definitely worth taking a look at (the latest updates introduce the first class: the Bounty Hunter). It seems the story-driven aspect is central to the game development which is good news . Bioware acknowledge that a well-developed story is often what is missing from current MMO's, so they are putting alot of effort into that part (they see the story as 1 of 4 pillars that should make up an MMORPG, you can read all about it on the site). In terms of the amount of content they are creating, they describe it as KOTOR3-10 put together!
I know there are quite a few KOTOR fans out there, how do you all feel about it being an MMO, etc? Can't wait myself and Bioware definitely seem to be taking it seriously rather than just a title guaranteed to make money due to the brand.
