We Don't Want a BioWare Star Wars MMO...

I don't want BioWare to make an MMORPG based off of the Star Wars franchise. Wait! Don't crucify me yet. I have some explaining to do. Naturally, I would definitely not spit on a Star Wars MMO, let alone one developed and designed by BioWare. Those are some talented guys and I can only dream of what they are creating. And that is the exact same reason why I don't want what they are creating for their first MMO to be a Star Wars game.

Now I began writing this article mainly because of the recent rumour that is being spread around. Apparently some guy got a sneak peek at some documented script from the game. I don't know, and to be honest, I don't really care. Should you want to read about it head on over here.

Now, back on topic, let's think about what other franchises BioWare has created. Have they ever created something that wasn't awesome? Let's take a look:

1.Mass Effect, absolutely fantastic.
2. Jade Empire, loved every minute of it.
3. KoTOR, superb.
4. Neverwinter Nights, classic.
5. Baldur's Gate, brought me into the PC RPG world.

So there you have it: four out of their five biggest games have not been associated with Star Wars. This leads me to my point, do we really want a developer such as this to spoil their creative interests on a world that is already so well developed that there can't possibly be any real customization and expansion? Star Wars is great, but I'd rather these guys come up with their own kick ass world. Mass Effect was a brilliant universe, and I have no doubt that they could make a world for an MMORPG be equally as awesome.

Anyways, thats just my opinion. Take it for what you will, but there are plenty of MMO developers that can do the Star Wars MMO justice, let's allow the poster child of the RPG industry the luxery of giving us something truly out of their own imagination, ok?
