joystiq.com— EA boss John Riccitiello finally spilled the beans on the long-rumored Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic MMO.

UPDATE from Joystiq: We've just spoken with N. Evan Van Zelfden, the writer of the report, who told us that when asked specifically if this game was "KOTOR Online", Riccitiello responded unequivocally, "Yes."So we can rejoice!
Ok that just sucks. We all wanted KoToR 3 but not a freaking MMO. I have yet to play an MMO and I damn well don't intend to start just because it's a Star Wars license. Galaxies anyone?
If it's PC-only, it's a great big "So what?" I'll put it in the pile with all the other MMORPG's and would-be WoW-killers (it can sit right next to Star Wars Galaxies)..The first company to do a decent *CONSOLE* RPG, and do it right, will essentially be able to corner the market. They could end up making the kind of money that would make Blizzard cry like a schoolgirl.
Perhaps you aren't familiar with play.net or simutronics. The company is run by a fascist, and employs fascists for their admins. They charge ludicrous amounts of money, and their games have sucked since the early days of the internet.

Actually, it was released on the Xbox about 4 months before it was ported to the PC. Duh
