I was wondering is this game going to feature twitch aiming FPS style or point and click like all the other mmorpg

If they go for the second choice they are going to screw whole idea...

I really hope it is like Neocron...

From what they have hinted at, it is going to be an MMORPG, not an MMOFPS.  Not sure about that as I haven't been checking in on it lately but go to www.stargateworlds.com for more info.  They say that strategy is going to be extremely important in game, not simply getting the highest level and armor and weapon and pounding on others.  How you use terrain, teamwork and strategy is what is going to keep people alive.

It's obvious it'll be standard point and click.  Stargate caters to older viewers and older gamers.  We don't, by and large, like first person shooters.  You kiddies can have em.    If they went FPS this game would bomb.

It could be like Star Wars Galaxies did with the you have to at least aim somewhat. I used to play the Stargate Mod for BF1942 and kicked ass with the staff weapon even though it had no aiming sights.

Well it's still very early in development at the moment. I'd also like to see a Neocron style of play.

Yep. I agree.

While it is most likely that the game will be a point and click it will differ a lot from Star Wars Galaxies. You wont  be able to stand in front of each other and blast at one another with guns while your hitpoints slowly wear away. You stand in from of a gun and your gunna die real fast. Which sounds like a very good compromise between the two styles of play.

That does sound like a good compromise. SWG pissed me off that way.

point and click wouldnt do this game justice.  Im hopeing for a Gears of war type 3rd person combat where cover and strategy are actually involved.

 Point and click just plain sucks anymore... why people still enjoy it I will never know.   They lack the action of a FPS and they automaticaly turn into a skill spam session , who can spam skills in the best order fastest. How is that fun?

 

And you call FPS kiddie mode lol, more like the other way arround.  Give it a couple more years and your coordination will get better mabe after puberty lol. j/k dont get mad lol.   

 

Seriously tho FPS offers more action and much more combat variations/possibilitys.   Like Roma Victor combat, the game overall is lacking, but the combat is fun and fresh(altho could use some changes/additions) for the most part tho it is great, and I hope Stargate goes down that path instead of the same crap that we have thousands of already... 

 

  Think about it if they do go with point and click , it will be (without a doubt) just like VG and LOTR, the same dam thing that we already have with a new look... AGAIN.  Not for me thanks.  I want something new and fun to keep my intrests for a bit.  BREAK THE MOLD PEOPLE!!

It's intended to be an mmoRPG, not a Battlefield clone. RPG's are for the most part about the story and being a part of a world you enjoy. This is partly what is wrong with mmorpg's nowadays, all the FPS people thinking it should just be a bunch of people online killing each other. There is a reason for the distinct difference between an mmoRPG and an online FPS. Because they are two totally different gamestyles, with two very different playerbases.

Also (this is in general, and not aimed at anyone in particular), it always cracks me up when someone says they play mmo's and then spout off Counter Strike and Battlefield as their mmo game experience.

I find that funny also, i know 64 peopel on a non-dynamic server seems massive to some people but come on thats not MMO experience. But come on Stargate is an action sci-fi show, with gunfights and stuff blowing up alot of the times. It needs some action or its jsut not stargate, if you want strict RPG play star trek or something.
