Especially with Bioware devs making statements like (exact wording from one of the designers) this one:
'Kotor 3? Yes, it's called "The Old Republic" and it is KOTOR 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8!'
Basically, the idea is that The Old Republic is supposed to be a far more solo-friendly and story-centric MMO than most, and as such should fill the void.
They're wrong, of course. Simply by being a traditional MMO they destroy half the qualities you'd find in a good single player RPG. Things like immersion, impact of your actions, the ability to experience all the content yourself, focused production quality, etc.

Is it silly of me to keep holding out hope that there will be a KotOR 3?

It's about as good as a western-style RPG has ever been. Also: best plot twist of all time.

But Katie, don't go looking up the plot twist before you decide to play it.

I played roughly halfway through. I quit when I realized how broken that game was.
