Considering the fact that the division lines would limit even more the classes available to players, I think not. The Dragon Age gameplay base as is (the class trifecta) doesn't work in a MMO.

I think Bioware is smart enough to not attempt an MMO in the Dragon Age universe at the same as The Old Republic is being released. If The Old Republic fails(I hope not), then they should continue with single player games.

They won't compete with themselves. TOR is expensive enough as it is--why increase costs and split revenues?

I agree with what you are saying about it seeming like a perfect setup, but i think that you are wrong in assuming that it means they are actually planning an MMO.

They'll be lucky if they can get SW:TOR not do a great big belly flop so i don't think they'd sink a load of money into two of them at the same time...

I think you're just grasping at straws and freaking yourself out. As said before, I doubt they'd try to do two MMOs when they don't even know how well the first will go.

Although having a DA MMO would be kind of cool. Not one that takes place during the current storyline, but something that takes place in the past. I could support that. But for now I'll just wait for Guild Wars 2.

They wouldn't make an MMO unless it is appropriate for the story they want to tell. I doubt it will happen for DA, but if Bioware were to make it I think they'd do an excellent job, as long as they stick with telling a story, not arbitrarily and pointlessly killing big bosses for no reason.

Running one MMO is costly enough, so no.

Tell that to SOE.


I (among others) thought that the KOTOR storyline wasn't ready for it after KOTOR II, but then came TOR...

Also, I think Dragon Age: Legends and Star Wars: The Old Republic might be test subjects for whether or not a DAMMO would be a viable option. Not to mention the DLC structure is structured in a manner similar to MMOs...

Speaking as an ex-MMO addict (I've been clean for a year, tyvm) I have to say that the thought of the Dragon Age franchise being converted into an MMO absolutely disgusts me to the very core of my being.

If such a thing would happen, I would boycott EA and stand out front of their head office with a picket sign.

Okay. Thanks for alleviating my fears. I am glad that the chances they will make an MMO are practically 0%

If Star Wars The Old Republic works out for BioWare which I hope it does. It will be at least four to five years before any company in their right mind would take another chance with another MMORPG. When MMOs work they make loads of $, but when they don't they can finish companies off.

I think if BioWare do make another MMO, then it will be Mass Effect because I could easily see that making a transfer to that gaming genre.

Since it's BioWare I will try Star Wars The Old Republic, but the problem for me I get bored with MMOs so quickly it probably won't be for me in the long-term.

If it does turn out to be an MMO, I won't play it. No hard feelings to people who play or developers who make MMOs, but I don't like them. There will always be new games, some better than others. I'll be a bit disappointed, but such is life sometimes.

I agree. I never found MMO's appealing, therefore I'll not play them. That's my personal opinion and I mean no disrespect for those who absolutely love them.

I'm not tied to Bioware, nor do I have any sense of loyalty to them. They turned out great games, and I absolutely love many of them (not all,  mind you). That's why I spent my money on them. If they start turning out games I dislike, oh well, there'll be others.

That said, it would be a very risky endeavor to put out two MMO's, especially in the same company. Many, or even most, of the MMO's put out never made it. I'm not sure, because I have zero interest in those type of games, but it seems to me that WoW established itself as just about the only one that made it work.

[Jarys]

Removing the pause tactical screen would make this game no longer DA. Which they would have to do in something involving more than one player.

Also, blizzard will be releasing a new mmo as wow dies down, they do not plan on having two running at full force - they would simply steal subscriptions from each other.

You're looking at it the wrong way. It won't be a MMO, it will just have multiplayer.

[Icinix]

BioWare wouldn't be that dumb.

EA might...but I think BioWare would take a pretty solid stand there...

..besides...it could very likely be EA pushing for 3 MMO's over the next two to three years, with the conclusion of the ME trilogy.

..like I said. BioWare wouldn't be that dumb. TOR is already blown the budget and the budgets dog.

[christrek1982]

oh god i hope not they have already killed kotr and turned that intio wow with a voice so i pray to the creator that DA stay single player lets hope that we arn't eating are word next year or so when the anounce Dragon Age Online

No it won't. The multiplayer thing was just some vague ramblings, which have been around since DA:O came out anyway.

[Curlain]

I can see where you are coming from, and it could be a perfect setup for an MMO, however given the costs and risks involved in attempting to launch just one MMO in TOR I don't see them attempting to launch other one, so I think the DA franchise is safe from becoming an MMO

EA aren't stupid either; they may release largely similar cash-cow sports titles every year that you can set your watch by, but they do this because they sell like stella artois and casual misogny to the fans that buy them for the roster updates. They're as aware of the risk reward ratio of an MMO as anyone, and won't try competing with themselves.

This is not to say a DA MMO would never be viable though. But to do it they need A: a stable world in a story sense (ie they'll want to finish the single player series before considering it - just think Warcraft 1-3 followed by WoW) and B: No in house competition. Both of these points lead to one inexorable conclusion: if we are to ever see a DA MMO, it will be many many years away.

If it went the MMO route I would happily walk away from the series. At the moment I'm not even going to pre-order DA3 if/when it's annnounced considering how DA2 was. I'm going to wait for a few reviews if there is a sequel at all and if it repeats the mistakes here then I'm not bothering with the series at all whether or not it's an MMO.
