KOTOR vs.SWTOR Plot?

[GuruGamer]

Hey everybody,
I´m a huge fan of the KOTOR 1&2. It features a fantastic RPG Gameplay. But the whole "Knights of the Old Republic" Setting (as shown in the great 90s Dark Horse Comic) I liked even more. So I was wandering if Star Wars The Old Republic is directly connected to the Plotlines of KOTOR, and if so...do you think the story will be as good as in the original KOTOR? This artikel says it has the same writers http://www.funload.de/star-wars-the-old-republic-preview-heilsbringer-oder-millionengrab

Q:How does Star Wars: The Old Republic relate to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic?

A:Star Wars: The Old Republic takes place approximately three hundred years after the events of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR). At the conclusion of the Jedi Civil War in KOTOR, Revan disappeared into unknown space in search of a great threat to the Republic, an expanding Sith Empire led by a mysterious Emperor who planned vengeance for his ancient Jedi enemies. Revan never returned from unknown space, but the Sith Empire did, kicking off a war with the Republic that lasted for decades. Now, despite the uneasy truce created by the Treaty of Coruscant, the tension among the divided star systems is threatening to once again tear the galaxy apart.
