MMORPG.com’s Carolyn Koh recently attended the San Diego Comic Con and got some more detailed information about the upcoming MMO Star Wars The Old Republic. Here are the highlights of their article.

The time period of Star Wars: The Old Republic is set 3,000 years before Darth Vader which is pretty sweet. That means a lot of Jedi and Sith running around. Bioware has enjoyed a reputation for excellent story telling with such examples as Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. Story has driven their games and they are determined to bring that story to an MMO.

The Knights of the Old Republic was the Jedi story. In the upcoming MMO, we are playing the Smuggler, the Bounty Hunter and the Empire Trooper among other yet unrevealed classes. The visual differences between the classes are harder to read in Star Wars, but they will be there in the game. “We won’t have huge shoulder armor in SWTOR,” said Jeff, “but there will be plenty of visual cues to distinguish the different classes from each other. A bounty hunter will look different from a smuggler, and a Sith from a Jedi.” The color palette will also help with blacks, reds and purples representing the Sith and blues, greens and browns representing the Jedi.

In true Bioware style players decisions change their entire play experience quests. “There will be real impact to player decisions,” said Dallas, “there’s no SAVE button in an MMO.” The good thing is the designers wanted to make sure you don’t spoil your character with a single decision. It is a cumulative effect.

The game is going to be huge from the looks of it as well as have a rich story line. I think this is what most gamers have been looking for.

The developers of the Star Wars the Old Republic mmo is coming out with a series of video which GooGaming will link to often I have a feeling. One video which I found very interesting is the Trooper video found below.

The storm trooper is looking like a fierce class to play. I will look for some videos explaining the bounty hunter class to see how different these two classes are going to be. I know we all want to be a Jedi, but who doesn’t love big guns!
