Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III Petition ( KotOR3, KotORIII )

To: LucasArts
In September of 2004, LucasArts began a major restructuring project,
laying off somewhere between 31-50 employees and cancelled all internal
projects save for one.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3, was one of the canceled projects.
Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 have won critical acclaim,
including Game of the Year Awards. Both games have a very active fan
community, and strong support.
In addition to record sales, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
received unprecedented critical acclaim. According to GameRankings.com,
the game's reviews averaged 94.8%, making it the 16th best-rated game
of all time, the second best game on Xbox, and the highest-rated RPG of
all time across all platforms. Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith
Lords, has also gained impressive support and fantastic reviews,
averaging 86.9%. Despite the very short development cycle for Knights
of the Old Republic 2, and its minor flaws, the game was still
extremely well received. Story wise the game also featured a major
cliffhanger.
If LucasArts do not publish the third installment, then many Star Wars
fans will see this as a gaping hole in the overall saga. It will also
be a huge disappointment to players of KOTOR 1 & 2, who would like
nothing more than to discover the fates of Revan and the Exile.
We are confident that as a major publisher, LucasArts will realize
the potential this series has to be published on the upcoming Xbox 360.
So, if you are one of those people who have spent hours, days or
even weeks of their lives playing these two amazing games, please sign
this petition and together we will present this matter to those
associated with LucasArts. Then hopefully, Knights of the Old Republic
3, will be published and will be hugely successful.
A MONTH OF WAR! The Republic's alliance with the Jedi has been reformed!
The War for the Old Republic Galaxy heats up as a whole new conflict brews! Make sure you get posting as the fight gets turned up a notch this month!
A series of decisive battles are being panned and thought of. These battles will control the fate of planets within the Galaxy. At the end of the moth, whichever side who has won a planet will control it!
Wars will be taking place on Tatooine, Dantooine, Mandalore and Nar Shadaa.
But this fight isn't just between the Republic and the Sith. Crime organizations like the Exchange are looking to cash in on the conflict, and are hoping to retain their control of Nar Shadaa.
More Action! More Drama! The SWKOTOR RPG is where it's at!

A whole new crafting and business section has been added to the RPG. To find out what we've added just read below:
2.1- Galactic Stock Exchange: An actual stock market the shows the prices of raw materials. People can also buy and sell items in the market. The prices change every week due to politics, supply and demand.
2.2- Crafting: We have a new crafting system where the Czerka Businessman class can make items for other players and sell them at what price they want.
2.3- News: We have a news thread which can tell players what's going on in the galaxy, and whether or not it's a good time to buy or sell stock.
2.4- Wear House: Players store their resources and/or items in this droid opperated facility. It is very similar to an inventory.
For more information on this new update please read the posts in the Character Registration thread in the RPG section of the forums.
Look much, much more cool stuff being added to the site in the months to come.
An update has been added to the RPG that allows players to pay with currency that is actually reccorded. To earn credits, players will have to complete missions, farm, mine, or sell crafted items or raw materials. This has never been done before in a forum RPG. Here are some of the updates we have done using the Credit System:
1.1- Stores
Players can spend there money on items in the Czerka Store. Players can buy light sabers, armor, blasters, vibro blades, swoops, droids and much more!
1.2- Fleets
If a player has reached a high enough rank and gains permission from a mod, they will be able to have their own fleets. Players can spend money on new ships and weapons for these fleets in the Czerka Ship Drives.
1.3- Farming
Players can buy farming estates on Dantooine. These pieces of land are thousands of acers and can be used to farm on. Players will now earn 100 credits each day with these farms. Although a farm is a high price (2500 credits) in the long term you ill gain more money, as you will have a steady income.
1.4- Mining
Players will soon be able to mine ore and store it in their own private wear houses. They will then be able to sell it to crafters or can automaticly sell it to the bank.
