LucasArts hiring testers for extra-super-secret MMO

Specifically, the job posting states that candidates will "test MMO games for bugs" and "strive to help make a competitive MMO." Really, now? It's something listed under the job requirements that has stirred up some intrigue, though. In order to get the testing gig, applicants must have "strong familiarity and experience with gaming consoles and Windows based PCs." So, the KOTOR MMO is multi-platform? Oh, you crazy secret-keepers.

Interesting....considering all the critical acclaim people on Joystiq like to hoist about KOTOR I am interested in what the game will be about.
Still though just because their previous work was stellar doesn't guarantee that this MMO will be good.
Force Unleashed however looks to be a real treat so hopefully they continue that trend.

where does this say multi platform? didnt they hint it would be PC only??? I hope it comes to 360 or PS3- I dont have a good gaming pc :(

It may just be me but I'd rather have KOTOR3 than a KOTOR MMO.

It's not just you.

...you're not the only one.
Not saying Bioware can't pull it off, but I still have no idea what they were thinking on this one.

Nope, not just you. I would also prefer a KOTOR 3. I just don't see KOTOR as an a MMO.

I'm in the same boat.

Yeah, story plots and MMOs just don't mix.

Lucas Arts don't make KOTOR; Lucas Arts publishes KOTOR.
WedgeTalon @ Aug 5th 2008 11:15PM
Ok, but what if it's *not* KOTOR?
Monkey Island MMO CONFIRMED!!!

FINALLY; a game to overthrow the unbridled tyranny of Pirates of The Caribbean Online!!!

I can't wait to try out the battle mechanics.

The force is strong with this one.
Wilhelm @ Aug 5th 2008 11:26PM
Nooooooooooo.

A Console-MMO would only be playable with a keyboard or other peripheral. Hopefully this means that Microsoft or on of the other allow keyboards to be used (wait, does Sony allow keyboards to be used, I'm not sure)
Also, I wonder if it might be released on multiple consoles or just one.
Snowblind @ Aug 6th 2008 8:32AM
You can use a keyboard with the PS3 and 360. But considering how widespread voice chat is with the 360, communicating via a keyboard seems a little redundent.
Champions and Star Trek Online are both coming to the 360, I'd definitely be more interested in playing this on the 360 too.
Jimiisama @ Aug 6th 2008 11:09AM
Snowblind, the keyboard isn't necessary for communication, but for actually playing a game. Most MMO's (except for Phantasy Phail Online) require lots of hotkeys, and a controller doesn't quite cut it.

Considering the best thing about KotOR was the dialogue, it'd make a sucky MMO.
(unless someone figures out how to make an MMO with characters and story that matter).

Sounds like the start of an epic win to me.
