I know. That sounds awfully vague. And it is! But heck, we’re talking BioWare’s mystery (KOTOR 3?) MMO, so even the vaguest of discussions are interesting ones. Speaking with MTV, BioWare’s Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk have opened up – just a little – on what they’re looking at implementing in their own MMO. Discussing the pros and cons of Age of Conan, Zeshuck says an “important part” of getting an MMO right is balancing the singleplayer and multiplayer aspects. They believe that players should be able to choose how they want to approach the game, whether as a solo experience or a social one, and that’s what they’re going to try and implement in KOTOR 3 whatever it is they’re working on.

We’ve continued to receive e-mails throughout the day from folks who it seems are now formerly in the employ of Lucasarts, telling us this and that about the circumstances behind their departure from the company. But few are as revealing as one we were sent earlier this evening. One former employee has told us not only how he was immediately sacked after six years of service, but how wide-ranging the layoffs appear to be, and the impact they’ll supposedly have on many of Lucasart’s upcoming projects. Projects like KOTOR 3, a Wii Star Wars title and the non-Lego Indiana Jones game.
