I know this sounds like a ridiculous question – being that the very name of the game KNIGHTS of the Old Republic just oozes Jedi, but it’s a question being asked by Geek Critique and he makes a point on that’s what ruined Star Wars Galaxies.  But this is a totally …

In a Portfolio.com interview this week at E3, John Riccitiello (the CEO of Electronic Arts) confirmed that the secret project in the works is indead Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Online in partnership with LucasArts.

Along with all the new content in the Wrath of the Lich King update, Blizzard will be releasing a new feature called the Achievement System.  Basically, it’s a list of things a player can do to gain titles and rewards.  Mostly through things they are already doing, like PVP, exploring the game world or progressing …
