On April 25th, 2007, a rumor came about that Bioware was secretly in development on a Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG. Stemming from the latest issue of EGM, the rumor contained little information to support the claim. However, investigation into the matter reveals that there is more to the rumor than EGM's single suggestion. In early 2006 Bioware opened an Austin branch to develop an unnamed MMORPG. This alone confirmed an inevitable Bioware MMO, but the choice of Richard Vogel as a leader of the project is what largely suggest that the currently unnamed MMO is set in the KOTOR universe. Vogel was one of the project leaders behind the sci-fi MMO Star Wars Galaxies. SWG was held down by being set in a universe where continuity prevented any true story development (such as seen in WoW) and SOE assuming creative control eventually caused the removal of the things that had kept SWG's hardcore fanbase playing among them the skill tree system, which allowed for more customizable characters and drastic changes to the game's combat and character profession selection.
SOE has been confirmed to have lost the Star Wars license, and so Bioware's RPG mastery and Vogel's MMO vision can be expected to create what former SWG players would consider the game that SWG should have been.

SOE has NOT lost the Star Wars License. SWG is still going...and going strong with many vets coming back. I repeat, SOE has NOT lost the license.

They will pick the person that is the weakest leader to be captain. "WE ARE UNDER ATTACK BY THE BORG AND BEING FIRED UPON!!! Let us all go into the meeting room and discuss how we need to handle this situation."
Scorpius from Farscape could outmaneuver any Star Fleet captain given that he was not chasing Crichton.
