Bioware is all about telling great stories.

MMORPGs is the total opposite of that. Just addicting the player as long as possible to wring out the most amount of money.

Stories don't fit into the MMORPG financial model, because stories have an ending.

Apparently, BioWare's SW:TOR has roughly 8 fully-voiced, fully-fleshed out stories with endings. I'm very curious
to see if they live up to this promise, and furthermore to see what they do after the stories end.

MMOs always deteriorate into hamster wheels. I'd prefer another sequel or two.

You should tell that (in bold above) to many grandparents around the world

Back on topic: While the world of DA sounds like it could be a decent DA style game, I would be very wary about going in that direction. Just look at what WoW did to the lore of the Warcraft series.I could see it work with Mass Effect in some sort of First Contact war setting or something similar, not so much in the DA universe however.

No, no ... no. No MMO.

Fighting Game, yes. MMO, no.
Card Battlegame, yes. MMO, no.

Ya know what, I want a Magic The Gathering style Dragon Age game. Because, why not.

Kotor is allready ruined by mmo crap, why ruin Dragon Age as well?

[godlike13]

The game isn't even out, yet people are already jumping to conclusions... why is this so common? Wind Waker, anyone?

I don't think that they'll have the money to mantain two MMORPG. Especially if TOR will not have a huge success.

Respawning, raids, running into characters named HaxorJedi4U. Some poeple just likes to play single player rpgs, and not online stuff. Just the way it is.

Yes, I'm excited to see how it pans out. But I fully expect Bioware to drop the ball on this one. In the end its still all about the money. And if they make an MMO with a story-arch that players can finish, they will soon lose players and the game servers will eventually close. The thing that might save them is if they manage to create pvp experience good enough for players to stay until the next expansion is released. Which I guess is fully possible. 

I still think though, that they eventually have no choice but to revert to the old style MMO addiction element in order to keep players interested. Lets hope not, but I won't allow myself to get excited before I vitness it in action.

After WOW I promised myself that I will never play games that are not possible to finish. They are a huge timesuck that leaves you with nothing in the end IMO.

Despite your personal preferences, it doesn't "ruin" a franchise. Personally, I can't stand CoD or any game along those lines. I still respect the franchise, even though its not my cup of tea.

Kind of ruins it when you suddenly play immortal characters (respawn when you die etc). Kind of makes it odd that there are graveyards in MMO worlds, come to think of it, since nothing stays dead for long enough to get burried.

[Duncaaaaaan]

no they dont. It would be ruined if they did.

Plus, it would require an online fee, something we xbox players already pay, £40 a year.

If it had an online fee, it wouldnt be allowed. It would be PC/PS3 only.

[Sotaklas]

i say NO :bandit: vader agrees too.....!!!

 Seriously! Ever since Dragon Age: Origins, I've thought to myself "OMFG BIOWARE MAKE DRAGON AGE AN MMORPG PLOX!". I think that if they did, it would be a huge success and possibly even a "WoW killer". They got an amazing story line, and great graphics to go along! Anyone else with me here?!

Lol, have to almost preorder Star Wars MMORPG for that.

Though I think I will name my ganker and solo stalker-killer Jedilol.

Edit: In DA MMORPG my genlock would had been "Ur3spawN".

So instead of a WoW clone in a sci-fi atmosphere, we end up with a WoW clone in a fantasy environment? Now that sounds like a brilliant idea!
