With EA's announcement of the Knights of the Old Republic MMOG, many
gamers felt their pulse quicken and their eyes dilate. This was
the game many Star Wars fanatics had dreamed about, and it is finally
coming to pass. Yet many gamers still question certain aspects of the
game and how it could work as an MMOG. How could their be so many Jedi
