The long awaited rumor makes for a new Star Wars MMORPG named ‘Star Wars: The Old Republic”.

Set 300 years after the events in Knights of the Old Republic (and featuring some familiar faces), Star Wars: The Old Republic will put players on either side of a massive war between the Empire and the Republic.  The game will follow BioWare’s emphasis on “choice with consequences” with room for players to be ambiguous or conflicted about their motives.

Here’s what we know thus far:

  • Star Wars: The Old Republic will take place after Knights of the old Republic
  • Coming to PC, may come to consoles
  • There will be an Open Beta
  • You can choose Jedi or Sith
  • Elite Troopers or Assassin Droids may also be playable characters
  • Will NOT replace Star Wars Galaxies

Wouldn’t it be awesome to control the DC Universe as a villain or hero and change the outcome as we know it.  Well, with Sony Online Entertainment, SOE,  creating this new MMORPG with our favorite characters is possible.  Hire Lex Luther to kill Superman, work with the Joker to battle Batman or fight the speedy red tights hero Flash!

Lockpick Entertainment has been hard at work on a closed beta for Dreamlords The Awakening, an MMO RPG and RTS mashup, and is opening the doors for everyone to check out the game. They’re quick to point out the following in their press release:

* Free to Play.
* Recruit and manage your troops, form alliances with other players or crush them…
* Bring your Dreamlord with you all the time in the game, equip it with various exciting gear and cool stuff.
* Simplified rules system, easy to get into – hard to master.

The sequel continues the story of “the mystical Dreamlords,” as they traverse pieces of land called Patrias. Seems like an interesting enough plot for a hack-and-slash MMO. Most importantly…its free! Let us know what you think of it in the comments.

The Chronicles of Spellborn (TCoS) is a MMORPG, developed by Spellborn International and distributed by Frogster Interactive, set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world. Spellborn uses the Unreal Engine, featuring a so-called European Art approach and contains notable contributions from Jesper Kyd[1].

Spellborn distinguishes itself from other MMORPGs by emphasizing the focus on story line, separating the look and the statistics of gear, integrating PvE (Player vs Environment) and PvP (Player vs Player) and offering combat that is fast paced and more reliant on player skill[2].

Dutch band Within Temptation wrote two songs for the game.
