According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tentonhammer.com\/node\/73904\" target=\"_blank\">Tentonhammer<\/a>, Sony is looking to develop a Star Wars MMO using the browser based Free Realms engine.<\/p>\n<p>The rumored MMO is unlikely to take on the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Old Republic which is an MMO in development by legendary RPG developer Bioware. Bioware is responsible for classics such as Baldur&rsquo;s Gate and Mass Effect.<\/p>\n<p>While many may scoff at the idea of a casual browser based Star Wars MMO in comparison to what Bioware is planning, it is important to note that Free Realms enjoys an active user base of over 5 million players.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php?t=2528\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Sony Star Wars MMO <\/a>in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bioware may not be the only company developing a Star Wars MMO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4391\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
