Interesting; very intersting. It'll even be more interesting if some of the old devs go back.

Kudos to the person who posted the second teir player from the site; the graphics are better than the first image in the thread.

I still want SGW to succeed. Hopefully the funding they received was substantial enough for a real dev team to get back in the saddle and get a working (fun) product out. I know I'm dreaming because nothing of their current situation would state this was possible, but I can hope.

I am happier than a pig in shit

I am glad this game is back on the table!

Good news for people that have worked or still work there. Hope it will mean good news for Stargate fans, and soon :)

 Hey, I'm really glad they pulled it off. Good for them.

Does anyone know who is funding them?

/facepalm

This game should have died, and it will die, but not fast enough for me. Pathetic.

Why would you say that?  SGW IP would have made a great MMO.  Do you mean that it should die because of current economic woes in America, coupled with the financial troubles of this IP... or you just don't like Stargate series?

The game is horrible. It's an embarrassment to the Stargate franchise. MGM should do everything in its power to keep this game from being released.

They received money to get it released. Not do a complete redesign which is what this game really needs.

Copeland, are you a beta tester for SGW?

While I really enjoy the IP and I once did enjoy the thought of the MMO I am just not looking forward to it anymore. At this point in time for me to have renewed interest I would have to hear MGM pulled the lisence and a new company is making the MMO. Between the money issues, MMOGULS and all I just don't have any faith or interest in what CME produces. In any case, I wish you guys that still have faith in CME the best of luck. Just don't hate me for still hoping another company produces SGW or some incarnation of it.

cool. I'd love to see this game succeed.

I was kind of hoping the SGW merchandise I bought would become a collector's item with the failure of the game. The development of the game has been complete and utter garbage. Even if released, it will fail because they don't know what MMO players want.

Good to hear that at least employees, both past and present, will actually get paid.

Funding to actually run a server though, that's a whole lot more. Good to hear a good outcome for employess, us poor saps who want to play the game have to wait a bunch longer it seems.

I actually just posted on this yesterday and didn't think it would get made, but good for the guys who are owed money and the fans of the game, I think it's past due time for the industry to begin to move away from the fantasy high or low settings and into more unconventional settings.  Superhero will actually be over saturated in the next few years and if this game makes it and SWTOR comes out the Sci Fi genre could look good as well, from there hopefully they will begin to look in new and different areas again if we are lucky.

Not that I begrudge Cheyenne the money, but I wish this financing could somehow be redirected to making Tabula Rasa a viable MT-based, F2P.

Based on what little I've seen of Stargate Worlds, the game looks like a lost cause to me and substantially inferior to TR. TR, at least, had some potential -- if it had only been managed better.

I heard Duke Nukem Forever is going to be awesome when it is released.

Is this what we are looking forward to?

Jack looks retarded, Sam looks like a pig skank and Daniel looks like a pedophile.

Click on the image.  It gets worse.  Teal'c looks as though he has something very large and very sharp shuved up his back side, and their feet... well, you'll see.
