[...] “And absolutely, we have story arcs, and we have real storytelling with beginnings, and ends, and places to say, ‘Hey, that was great, and time has passed, and things have changed. By the way, here’s that quest that happened twenty hours ago where you totally forgot you screwed that guy, coming back to bite you in the butt, now how are you going to deal with that?’” – Daniel Erikson, Lead Designer for Star Wars The Old Republic (http://www.mmogamer.com/06/11/2009/a-new-hope-for-mmos.)

[...] Because we did all class-specific stories for The Old Republic, we’ve allowed ourselves to basically make, “Knights of the Old Republic: The Smuggler,” its own game. Everything in there, when you’re playing a Smuggler, you feel like a Smuggler. The adventures are crazy, and madcap, and you’re flying by the seat of your pants, and there’s romantic stuff, and you’re spouting off crazy one-liners, etc., etc. MMO Gamer [...]

I have been playing several internet games since years ago, starting with Lineage 1, Lineage 2, WOW, Connan, WAR, Aion, etc. After reading the interview, I cannot stop thinking and wondering at which level will the players have enough freedom to move around and explore the world as they like.
From all the games I have ever player, WOW was and is the game which really allows you to move as you like and where you like. I remember when I started playing Connan, a game from which I expected much more, I noticed that you couldn't reach some places, it was like you had to run through that path, like if everything was designed and planned beforehand… I just hated.

Having such storylines as StarWars is saying could be seen as great, however it scares me a lot that they just make the same mistake as the designers of Connan did. Hope and wish that they are able to apply a similar system as WOW where you can do the things as you want and how you want.

I'd love to hear more from Bioware on how they'll support our random/spontaneous exploration and a player's freedom to move through their class story at their own pace. This may (or may not) have alot to do with the more general 'common' story of the war and how the galaxy will allow us to make our own side-plots within the context of the war.

How much freedom will I have to take a break from my smuggler plot to go and RP my own adventure for a while? How compelling will it be to do so? Can we then seamlessly pick back up with the developer created story line again when we're done with our little tangents?
