Check out our BioWare/LucasArts announcement invite
Filed under: Sci-fi, Massively meta
We'd like to go on record right now stating we think the game's MMO acronym should be SWOR ... but will probably end up being TOR. What do you think?
Joystiq's own Randy Nelson will be representing Massively, Joystiq, and the whole family of blogs at the event - ensuring that readers here and across the network are kept up to date. No pressure, Randy! Above is the frontside of our invitation to this event, and you can see what's on the back below the cut.
Yeah, sorry - we scanned them poorly and blurred out some stuff so the folks at LucasArts would keep talking to us. Trust us, it's going to be more fun watching the fireworks from out here anyway.

OMG. I can't freaking wait. How long will we have to wait for launch? Better be here by late 2009 or I'm going to go medieval on Lucas.

Well, I wouldn't hold my breath for 2009. But we'll see how it turns out.

I think the game has been in production for the last 3 years, so hopefully they are nearing alpha testing very soon.
Maybe we'll find out how far along Bioware is on the 21st...

Weird as it may sound, the first thing I thought upon seeing the first image was, "OMG, they're collaborating on a Maniac Mansion game!"
Which, of course, would be EPIC.

Very exciting. That's one of the Sith statues form Korriban, no?
This is going to be a long two weeks. God bless WAR for being a good enough game to hold my attention until this comes out!
Also, I like SWOR.

We all know it's a KOTOR mmo but I don't hold up much hope for it because Lucas Arts sucks these days and it'll be made for consoles. So it'll turn out as one of them easy casual games that has no risk and everything is piss easy to get.
Just gimme SWG pre cu tbh.

They need to name it Star Wars: Old Republic Defenders.
SWORD.
Best MMO Acronym EVER.

How about SWOTOR?
This is the game my guild, and myself have been waiting for since the fallout of SWG.

it would be hard to make a jedi mmo
considering mmorpg's are generally based on getting new armor, weapons etc, and considering jedis only have a lightsaber and a jedi robe, it doesnt really leave alot to work with.
although city of heros did make a successfull mmo without the need of equipment, i guess force jump, and force speed, would be ideal skills for a kotor mmo.

Is it 2 PM yet? It's been a long few weeks waiting for this announcement. Please be another Star Wars universe for us to play in, in sandbox style, with hard to earn Jedi's, and great space combat!
