Both are Free to play RPGs of a kind.

Just a little nitpick here, neither of them are free to play, you have to purchase the games first. ;D

KOTOR is brilliant in my books, MMO KOTOR just doesn't sound good to me (especially since I have to pay a monthly fee for it). And I agree with Ace, the gameplay looks dull.

From seeing things revealed in SWTOR, I feel like some game mechanics have never moved forward during the last decade or two. Same static combat, a bunch of people standing still reducing each other healthbars while a healer plays "wack em all" with friendly healthbars. In some ways it is actually worse than SWG, like fewer classes and more restrictive gameplay.
So if the SWG servers would still be running, I would rather play that game.

Fewer classes? Yes
Restrictive gameplay? Looks just like WoW to me!
Do you like focusing on the bad (or the same things) because you don't know how to objectively look at it. Yes, there are fewer classes. Did SWG have story driven cutscenes for your main storyline quest, your class storyline quest, your world arc quest, your other main quest line for the planet, and all the side quests? Did you have companions that had their own stories/quests to do?
The game may also play out like WoW. Combat that is more turn based than real time. Hey, it worked for WoW... why not SWTOR? Only time will really tell if SWTOR is a Hero to the MMO genre (not likely) or just a big flabby zero. I hope it's at least somewhere in the middle cause I want to play all the classes.
AceHigh:
Restrictive in comparison to SWG. I have yet to see SWTOR giving you a TIE fighter and let you play the game as if it was Freelancer or something.
Cutscenes is a flawed concept in MMO, do you know why? Because people act "too cool" to watch them and skip them all anyway. Actually I have been trolling people in Guild Wars by not skipping cutscenes while making myself a sandwich or something only to come back 5 minutes later to an enraged group that was all like "Who the fuck did not skip this shit?". ;D
So I don't see cutscenes as anything good at all.

Nope, being a freelancer in SWTOR probably doesn't work. As for Cutscenes... yes.. they rip you out of your immersion, but they do provide story better in a game versus Quest Text.

^ Umm... I think he meant Freelancer (the game).
