KOTOR MMO?

[Veneficus]

So, I read the article for the new KOTOR MMO coming out and I have to admit I was a little surprised.

Coruscant getting sacked by a 1,400 year old Sith Lord? The Jedi Temple getting destroyed and thousands of Jedi getting killed? Damn...

I'm not sure if I like the idea though.

Dark Council? BWAHAHAH! Wow...bottom of the barrel, no?

"Sadow and many other Dark Lords went into hiding beyond the boundaries of known space. There, in secret, they began to rebuild their power and nurse their dreams of revenge. The Dark Lord, having prolonged his life with many dark rituals, personally directed the establishment of a new fleet and a powerful Imperial army. As his military forces were gathering strength, he started infiltrating systems in the Galactic Republic's Outer Rim, fomenting dissent among the people and making secret alliances with numerous crime bosses and warlords.

The Republic capital of Coruscant is still suffering the effects of war.
With his fleets ready and his fifth columnists in place in the Outer Rim, Sadow finally launched his attack. The Republic and the Jedi Order, who thought Sith power had been destroyed, were taken completely by surprise. In a very short time, the Sith captured dozens of worlds along the Outer Rim and crippled the Republic by destroying the shipyards in the Sluis sector and choking off the vital Rimma Trade Route.

The Republic and the Jedi fought back as best as they could, but world after world fell to the Sith advance. The long war waged across the frozen wastes of Ilum and the desert plains of Dathomir. The Sith Empire destroyed everything they came into contact with, even attacking the neutral planets like Manaan. There they destroyed the entire surface of the planet, forcing the Selkath to retreat to their underwater strongholds. The Sith Empire's onslaught seemed unstoppable.

But then, with the Republic reeling from dozens of defeats, Naga Sadow did something else that wasn't expected; he offered peace terms. The Republic had already lost thousands of Jedi and numerous worlds to the Sith so, rather than risk further losses, the Supreme Chancellor agreed to enter negotiations for a settlement. The Sith used the peace negotiations as a diversion for a strike on Coruscant, the capital of the Republic. Imperial Forces sacked the planet, destroying the Jedi Temple and killing six Jedi Masters.

With Coruscant held hostage, the Sith Lord again offered peace terms. But this time, they were even less favorable than before. He demanded that the Republic surrender key systems in the Outer Rim and withdraw their support for several allies, including their most faithful friends, the Bothans. Facing a supply crisis and a hostile occupation in the heart of the Republic, the Supreme Chancellor had no choice but to agree."

So, I read this and was like whoa... totally screwing with canon here.

IGN: Star Wars: The Old Republic Preview (http://pc.ign.com/articles/922/922656p1.html)

There's the link to the IGN article from their interview with Bioware.

Wow. I think I hate this already. Essentially 'fuck canon, let's use Naga Sadow!'

At the very least, hopefully this kills the legion of fans who scream how everyone who's 'ancient' would solo the entire Jedi Order when their pet Jedi characters kill all the Sith Lords.

Wow, I really, really hate this. SADOW?

[Faunus]

Calm down. I'm pretty sure it's only IGN that mentions Naga Sadow; the main site and other sources don't include him at all.

And I like the plot so far. Makes sense, and brings some meaning to "once more, the Sith will rule the galaxy."

We know when that was...Darth Ruin in 2000 BBY who dominated the galaxy with the New Sith Empire

With all these times of the Sith conquering the Jedi Order and Republic, it's kind of losing its meaning.

Please ditch the cartoonish graphic layout. Please, Bioware.

Bastards.

Once more doesn't describe how many times it has happened in the past.

Twice or so in the past ten thousand years isn't exactly frequent.
