Well a few of you know I work for a gaming company called Simutronics, doing their Text based games Alliance of Heroes and Dragonrealms. But today I officially got hired on to their 'other' project the HeroEngine.(Literally just faxed my signed NDA and contract back to them).

And well BioWare just picked the HeroEngine as their platform for the new Star Wars online game coming out next year. BioWare is already starting to brag about they're going to knock the Pillar of Gaming that is Blizzard down and crush WoW and stuff like that.

What I know about it only goes as far as the base engine, but has anyone else heard or read anything about it? It's suppose to be the next gen MMO game so I'm really curious how it'll turn out. Especially now that I'm personally invested in it and everything.

Wait? You work for Simutronics. Man, I wasted happily seven years playing Simu's Gemstone III. As for the Star Wars MMORPG. It will be based on the KOTOR series. Hopefully, it ends up being better than Star Wars Galaxies and its dancing Wookie.

I'd play a new Star Wars MMORPG, when is it due to be released? Or when will we see any trailers?

I might consider playing it. I certainly trust BioWare over Sony Online Entertainment.

However, Galaxies illustrated a key problem with the Star Wars MMO to me. It's just...'grinding' is totally inappropriate to the Star Wars universe, and an MMO requires some grinding. It just does.

I don't think that grinding is inappropriate for the universe, just not what you would usual to associate, then again you could just see it as becoming well travelled or more experience. Then again its just an MMO afterall what the hey.

I saw some screens it does look rather cool.

Star wars galaxies was awesome, but when it got new management they crapped it up. I remember how hard it was at first to become a jedi and make a lightsaber and i remember how big a deal it was when the first person did it and then the management changed it around so everyone and their cousin became a jedi.

Hey, Milano! Has this caused you any problems, being that you now work for Blizzard?

KOTOR was great. I tend to really dislike MMOs but I'll put my faith in BioWare getting it right.

A Kotor3 would've been nice, though.

I know a few people from WoW, including my brother, that are switching to the Star Wars MMO once it's released, so I definitely intend to give it a look.

As far as toppling WoW from cornering the MMO market, Age of Conan, Warhammer and a few others have made that claim as well and failed somewhat spectacularly. It seems a careless statement to make.

Apparently it will contain 100% voice acting and choices are supposed to decide your path more than which side you start out on, if I'm understanding this >_>

Is there a point in playing Light? Really, everything I've seen screams Dark. In fact, I think Light should be horribly crippled, because being nice and good is absolutely no fun. Kill everything!
