A US news station ran a story about one of their presenters’ boyfriends/husbands who is an avid World of Warcraft player. The story is actually all about the “language” spoken by these hopelessly addicted gamers, and it’s quite special to say the least. I used to play Guild Wars quite often, but I kept my involvement fairly light, only playing …

In a disturbing turn of events a little know company called Worlds.com has served papers on NCSoft for infringing on their virtual world patent. Apparently they patented the idea of creating a virtual world and allowing people to interact inside of it, you know the same type of thing that every single MMO uses and games like MAG and APB …

There have been rumours flying around the net for quite some time now that Bioware is working on a new MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) game based on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) franchise. Well good news is upon us all because it has finally been made official. The new MMO will be titled Star Wars: The Old Republic and will be the first MMO for BioWare, who are famous for their incredible role playing titles. First details have been released, more after the jump. Now, this must be due to the World of Warcraft fad but if you have looked at the header image for the article then you will see that the graphics have been stylised into a more cartoony look. Now you can put me into the same boat as all those people who are bitching about Diablo III's new look, but I really feel like the KOTOR series was not one that would ever work well with that kind of look. What was wrong with the realistic Sci-Fi approach that they had to the visuals. Now my character has to run around with a lightsaber handle the size of a small mammal. If you want to read more about it, check the source below because IGN has an exclusive feature with details and more about the game.

KOTOR, which is used for short to describe the Star Wars role playing game The Knights of the old Republic, was an incredible franchise with many fans and followers on the original Xbox as well the PC. Many fans have cried out in the past in the hope that another KOTOR title will soon be made, with a few feeling let down when we were given Mass Effect instead. While Mass Effect proved to be a phenomenal game, there is still that burning desire to jump back into a galaxy far, far, away. While EA head honcho John Riccitiello already let slip in the past that Bioware and Lucasarts are working on a new MMO ( Massively Multiplayer Online) title, there has never actually been an official announcement. All of that could change very soon. News of an upcoming announcement has popped up in a UK paper, The Daily Star. CVG now reports that: "A column that appeared last Saturday reports that the rag is soon off to San Francisco to 'file an exclusive report on the game', after stating that BioWare is working on 'a MMO of Knights of the Old Republic'." I sincerely hope that this actually happens because a KOTOR MMO, with Bioware and Lucasarts behind the developement will have potential to blow us clear off of our couches. Please, oh pretty please, be true.
