LucasArts looking for PC and console MMO testers

If you somehow still weren't convinced -- or in denial -- about the reality of a KOTOR MMO, here's some further proof of the matter. It's very compelling evidence but what's most interesting about the job requirements is this bit, "Strong familiarity and experience with gaming consoles, and Windows based PC's." Should we be expecting to hear the eventual announcement of an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 KOTOR MMO? Seems like.

The good side of this news is you could meet the criteria LucasArts has set for a tester and be one of the first people to play the game. The bad news is that a new single-player KOTOR seems unlikely to be in anyone's current future. So if you're not initially sold on a massively multiplayer KOTOR, hopefully BioWare will actually own up to their claim of trying something different and change your mind in the long-run.

I'd say the odds of seeing a KotOR 3 now are about the same as our odds of seeing a true Warcraft 4.

I might've cared back when Bioware was still an independent entity, but now it's pretty much just EA crapping on another IP.

Christ, I was nodding and smiling all the way down the list of requirements until I hit that last one. Yeesh. I suppose it's no sruprise though. I hear being a game tester is far from what most of us would think. Wasn't aware they were looking for full time though. I guess it is just a frame work and possibly not quite an Alpha yet, so I guess it makes sense.
