Big hopes for this title! I've enjoyed Kotor 1 and 2 immensely and i'm a sucker for star wars.

Yes I am also looking forward to this however I am sceptical whether they keep the the same formular that I loved about the pervious games when they carry it over. Also I do hope it will be like guild wars in the way it is run (the money side of things). If not I guess this will be the first game I pay for monthly but I will not be happy about it.

I am a huge fan of Kotor 1 and 2. Heck, I upgraded from my old little Dell to play those games. Like Disciple, I'm not looking forward to a monthly fee, as I did love the old format.

50 cents a day is well worth playing a good MMO. That's the standard cost. If you've never tried it, you just might enjoy it.

This might be the game that drags me back into the MMO world, after swearing off of it...

EA has announced they want to do micro transactional so you may see less of the traditional MMO elements in it photometric. It will probably be more like guild wars i'm thinking.

New movie released last week and some kind of special announcement today planned.

Oh my god I hope it's a one time payment.... Otherwise I'm going to spend alot of money on this game.

The best method for this game will be subscription but EA CEO wants to make it micro transactional.

We are hoping they go with subscription based.

Wish I could find a release date or at leats an estimation somewhere. I get gray hairs waiting for MMO's to be released.

The micro transactional system would make me pretty conscious of the -$$ floating above my head if I was just idling in a cantina chatting with people.
