Knights of the Massively Multiplayer Republic

So there's going to be a Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. KOTOR is possibly my favourite game ever. It's a great RPG not only in the sense that it used pen-and-paper RPG mechanics, but also because it encouraged and enabled me to actually role-play my character. It's the first game that had me thinking not "What do I do to get the outcome I want?", but "What would my character do in this situation?" It had a brilliantly crafted, and very much single-player, story.

I worry that the things I really liked about KOTOR are the things that will transfer least well from a single-player to a multi-player game.

Here's hoping we'll see a genuine single-player KOTOR III someday.

(Incidentally, can we stop talking about 'an MMO' please? You're missing out the verb; you're basically saying it's a 'Massively Multiplayer Online'. I think MMOG is the correct term for all massively multiplayer online games.)

(Second incidentally: speaking of things that I'm not confident can be transferred to a new medium without losing their best qualities...)
