I just don't see Jedi every properly existing inside an mmo where the "overlords" must actively balance there game to maintain a subscriber base. You can't be all powerful Jedi in an mmo when the very structure of an mmo is resistant to those kinds of archetypes. Being a Jedi is all about indulging in the force, bending others to your every whim at will. Thats not really possible in an mmo because of the gestapo like need to balance gameplay and you simply can't have a star wars world that isn't hell bent and on the fringe. Rules seldom apply to star wars, in fact star wars to me is all about breaking the rules of the galactic civilizations taking part in epic struggles between good and evil. For me personally more so then being evil or good is gathering wealth and power. I'd hope that in a follow up to kotor they would flesh out and blur good and evil and more fully explore a middle (Very Grey) road. Galaxies is still active isn’t it?

I have to agree with you. I like the tight narrative offered to you with a single player game. KOTR, and KOTR 2 are deffinetly among my favorite games of all time. So I really hope they move more in that direction. As much as the idea of a KOTR MMO appeals to me. I have to agree with you. I like the tight narrative offered to you with a single player game.
