According to John Riccitiello, BioWare’s MMO is scheduled to be released between April 2010 and April 2011.
It has been rumored that the project is a Star Wars MMO, to be specific, KOTOR which recently laid-off employees who were apparently disgruntled let “slip” to gaming outlets.
In his talk with the William Blair and Company during a conference, Riccitiello mentioned the BioWare MMO is “new intellectual property”, and while one would think that this would kill the KOTOR MMO rumor outright, Eurogamer made an interesting point when they stated that while ” Star Wars and KOTOR are hardly new, they would be new to EA”.
Until we get more info on this, or until anything can be confirmed, just hold tight because as soon as find something out we will be sure to let you know.

aw man, I dont want KOTOR to be an MMO. Hopefully they can still make a KOTOR 3? Or maybe make a Star Wars game LIKE KOTOR but somewhere in the 6 episodes or after?
It likely is a new intellectual property. Search the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Lucas just registered 3 new trademarks on July 3rd.
STAR WARS SAGAS
STAR WARS LEGENDS
STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC
In the description of the trademark, they all say: “Entertainment services provided on-line by means of global and local area networks, namely, providing interactive computer game software, interactive video game software and interactive computer games and interactive video games, all on-line by means of global and local area networks”
Sounds like these new trademarks are for the Star Wars MMO.
