Post Bioware announces Star Wars: The Old Republic

It'll be an MMO. Apparently stuff has been leaking about this for awhile now, but it was news to me, so now its news.

Cool, but that article didn't convey much sense of why "multiplayer" is going to add much to the basic single player rp game.

Yeah. There's so much focus was on how it will be solo play friendly, they neglected the multiplayer bit.

Its all marketing fluff at this point, I think. It'll be interesting to see how Bioware does in the MMO department.

The MMO part adds monthly subscription money to their pockets.

It's basically an extension of downloadable content or episodic gameplay. You pay monthly, occasionally they'll add new content.
