Talk:Star Wars: The Old Republic

Do we really need an article on a rumored game? --Imperialles 22:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It needs to be sourced at least. --  Riffsyphon  1024 22:47, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Didn't we delete the pages for KOTOR 3 and BF 3? This is no different than those. This should go. Kuralyov 05:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Damn. I was hoping for a KOTOR I style epic, now we're going to get this Galaxies style garbage.  Victor  ( talk ) 05:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Move
I believe this page should, for now, be moved to Untitled Star Wars MMORPG until we get an actual confirmation on the name, and if it's even going to be a sequel to KOTOR II.  Victor  ( talk ) 01:15, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Better yet, "rumored Star Wars MMORPG." &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 19:27, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well no because its not rumored its confirmed by a EA Ceo didn't you read the article? Steves490 23:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Look at the timestamp of Silly Dan's post. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 23:58, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Can an admin rename the article to the correct game name ? [[Image:DreosskBlanc.jpg|20px]] Dreossk  | 00:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Moving it to Star Wars: The Old Republic isn't just speculation, it's common sense. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:31, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Someone reverted the edit with reason: speculation. It's not speculation, EA's boss confirmed it and the source was there, what do they need more ? Damn it's impossible to edit anything on Wookieepedia, I never suceeded. [[Image:DreosskBlanc.jpg|20px]] Dreossk  | 15:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Did they confirm the name in the confirmation of the game? If not, that is indeed speculation. 15:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * George Lucas would make an account on Wookieepedia to edit the page and you'd revert him. I'm off. [[Image:DreosskBlanc.jpg|20px]] Dreossk  | 15:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That all depends on whether he could back up his edits. You can't, so you got reverted. Simple as that. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Not an MMO
From an interview: "John Riccitiello said that EA is working on the next version of Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic, and it will most certainly have a massively multiplayer online component to it." It seems that the main part of the game will not be online multiplayer. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 13:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree cause I would be pissed if I have to pay by the month just to see what happens to Revan.User:Revanthereformer1138
 * So if it's not an MMO, what exactly is it? We can't keep the article (title and content) as it is now if it's just going to be a misrepresentation of information. // ~mikah~  19:21, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * "Knights of the Old Republic single player game with MMO component" would be too long, would it not? Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 19:24, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not the one suggesting it. :) Though, yes, it would be quite a mouthful. Regardless, the title and article content in question give off the impression that the game provides solely an online, multiplayer experience. If I may, I suggest using "Untitled Knights of the old Republic game" (or at least something along those lines, if still too large), as we do with yet-to-be-titled novels. // ~mikah~  19:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

That sounds better. Also, this site reports that the title of the game will be announced within the next 30 days. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If so, then I wouldn't object to waiting the extra month. A Conjecture tag can be used until then. // ~mikah~  18:16, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * there is going to be a press conference on october 21 to 'officially' announce the game and reveal information. an invite was mailed to gaming press. http://au.gamespy.com/articles/916/916588p1.html Philby 23:11, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

The Wait is Over
"The Wait is Over", according to G4. I hate to speculate, but KOTOR 3 is the game we've been waiting for, so hopefully this really is KOTOR 3 and not entirely a MMO. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC) It's a MMO. Drewton  Drewton's Holocron ]])|undefined 00:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Forgot to link to this as well. I know nothing of Gamasutra, but from the article it sounds like he/she/it's in some way affiliating with LucasArts. Would anyone object if I added that teaser poster to the article? Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I say go for it, though note that it is the suspected KotOR "MMO" banner rather than the official. As it features neither title nor trademark--only "Lucasarts" and "Bioware"--we can't force these things to fit our desires. (But if I may add with a completely unnecessary comment, I certainly do hope it is the game I've been losing sleep over. If the graphics are to be as sharp as they are in the banner, I'm sold.) // ~mikah~  02:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't trust any site thats at ".NET". -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|25px]] (Talk) 01:28, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I hope this game doen't use DRM tech(I assume it's on a disc). C&C Modder 09:01, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Time to Move
The Old Republic? Dangerdan97 21:45, 21 October 2008 (UTC) This is disappointing, to say the least. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:03, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The website posted in the section above is a fansite that leads me to no actual confirmation of the new name. Is it reliable? // ~mikah~  22:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Scratch, I've found the the official site. //  ~mikah~  22:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Timeline error?
I registered on the forums, and saw some interesting things

It seemed that people's forum avatars bore the insignias of the rebel alliance and galactic empire. awful mistake by EA, or is there something Im missing? Also, one of the avatars appears to be similar toan AT-AT head.

71.36.50.212 02:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think the avatars are indications of what's in the game, but rather popular images based on all eras, but I'm far from sure. 14:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * There's also clone trooper armor in the concept art. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:49, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * the 'clone troopers' from the concept art are infact republic special forces, no doubt the non-jedi character's role-Guest

Setting
I'd like to post this:

The Setting
"The Galactic Republic stood for generations as a bastion of peace in a galaxy of warring star systems. Protected by its stalwart Jedi guardians, the Republic held the greatest hope for the progress of civilization and galactic unity.

Deep in unknown space, however, a mighty Sith Empire was forged, led by dark Sith Lords who dreamt of galactic domination and vengeance against their ancient Jedi enemies. After centuries of preparation, the time came for the Sith to make their return.

With a massive fleet and an awe-inspiring army of fearless troops, the Sith Emperor launched a surprise assault, quickly capturing dozens of worlds in the Outer Rim, and sparking a war unlike any other in the galaxy’s history.

From the frozen wastes of Ilum to the desert plains of Dathomir, violent battles killed untold millions. Despite its avowed neutrality, surface structures on the water-covered world of Manaan were completely destroyed, forcing the Selkath to retreat to their ocean underworld. Other star systems fared worse—some destroyed, others left uninhabitable. The carnage concluded with the Sith Empire sacking the Republic's capital planet of Coruscant and forcing the Republic Senate into the controversial Treaty of Coruscant.

In the years since the treaty, fear and uncertainty have gripped the galaxy, enabling the Sith Emperor to pursue his own mysterious purposes while the Republic has made efforts to rebuild its infrastructure and adjust military priorities to the new galactic landscape.

Now, tensions between the Republic and the Empire are running high, and a series of border skirmishes and proxy wars have broken out, even on planets as historically peaceful as Alderaan. The uneasy truce established by the Treaty of Coruscant is quickly tearing apart at the seams, and a return to all-out war has begun in all but official terms.

A new generation of heroes, both light and dark, emerges to face the difficulties of these chaotic times, and fight for the fate of the galaxy in this most desperate age."
