This game sounds good in concept but will probably be shit. The only company with a longer track record of fucking up MMOs is SoE. 20 bucks says they take the WoW route and steal the EQ combat system and dumb it down for first time MMOers and make it a gear based grindfest. I kinda hope it turns out to be good and they keep the standard bioware D&D system crap in it, but I also really don't care because I've been waiting for a MMO which will probably be better for the past three years or so.
It will at least be better than the shit they turned SWG into, but for some reason I think it will end up being a linear MMO which are always shitty. Almost zero chance for it to be cannon after the continuity genocide known as SWG. If they do keep to the original KotOR systems though I'd definitely play my uber lightside guardian duelist/speed/valor/flurry build that killed everything in both games aside from Kreia/Malak in 2 hits (It sent Bastila/Scion into dialog in one hit).
