Hi there!

You will not be able to fly ships in the initial release, but some of the action will be taking place in the vicinity of or possibly aboard ships.

Just a friendly reminder -- our team is still interested in taking your questions here! We appreciate your interest in our game!

I dont think i can call my self a superfan, but I enjoy watching stargate. Game seems to be nice too. It has lots of potential and room for ideas. i be looking forward to this game.

This game isn't just for a super fan like me, though we are putting little nuggets in that super fans will recognize. The ranged combat system is really going to appeal to a wide variety of people. It's definitely something not attempted before in this way!

Goodluck fellas and you will be hearing from me on the forums alot :P

Glad we have people like you aboard! The more dedicated fans we get the better. It'll ensure that the end product is truly a realization of the Stargate realm in the gaming space.

While Atlantis itself will not be in the initial release of our game, you will definitely get Ancient technology and architecture. One such world is Agnos.

You can expect the game to be a competitive price with other popular games available at the time, in both retail box price and monthly subscription.

There will be a monthly fee to play the game

Joe Ybarra has talked long and hard about the importance for the game to be reached by as many people as possible. There will definitely be multiple ways for you to play our game. I'm not at liberty to disclose those details yet -- mainly because we're approximately a year from launching and many haven't been ironed out -- but rest assured you will have no problem playing.

Not to worry, there will be a universal currency inside the game :)

Correct, Ancients will not be playable, You'll be able to play a light human, dark human (OP-CORE), Loyalist Jaffa, Free Jaffa, Asgard or Goa'uld.

I cannot answer the faction question yet, but guilds will most definitely be multi-race.

Yep! We're not out yet

Expect our release some time in the fourth quarter of 2008.

I will say that player housing is not a focus of the team at this time. They're face deep on many other features for our game.

You certainly won't have a problem doing that :)

There will be more opportunities soon! Continue to watch the boards here at MMORPG.com, as well as forums.stargateworlds.com !

Yep, it's up!

I hope it was worth the wait :)

We're taking questions for Episode III over at StargateWorlds.com forums now!

Hi there!

There will be multiple ways for you to level -- more ways than most common in games. Our game is one of the first where non-combat play will be an alternative way to level -- such as with the archaeologist class. You'll want to know how to fire a weapon, of course (since anyone who works directly with soldiers has to be trained in basic infantry in the real world), but shooting baddies won't be your only option :)

Though I am not permitted to discuss times yet, there are many ways to enter the beta that are coming up soon. GateWorld.net will be carrying a Stargate Worlds survey which will give you the choice to enter your email address for inclusion in the beta after you've completed it, for example.

The best way, though, is to keep active on the boards at StargateWorlds.com. We will look to those people first.

We are absolutely going to have currency in the game :)

Hello, Fuznooker!

In future, please do me the favor of starting new threads for your questions, so everyone can jump in.

I'm not sure they've totally figured it out yet, but I believe as you complete missions you will obtain more gate addresses, which will allow you access to more planets, which you can then return to whenever you like. As to gameplay, that's definitely out of my league.

Cheers!
