New Beta Sign-up Procedure
Nov 26, 2008
The folks at Stargate Worlds have posted a few changes to the way they choose participants for the SGW Beta, and players will need to update their information if they wish to join.
In the future, crossing the cosmic and spectacular expanse of space instantaneously becomes a reality. This amazing feat is accomplished with the discovery of apparatuses known simply as a Stargates which generate artificial wormholes, tearing a void through time and space. One such Stargate is found on Earth, subjecting the vulnerable blue planet to an invasion by a brutal and intelligent snake-like alien race bent on galactic domination and known as the Goa’uld. To counter this looming threat, a top-secret military base called SGC (Stargate Command) is built, and from it the first of many hand-picked teams (SG-1) is formed. Jumping across the universe, they form alliances and track down alien technology to aid in the defense of our world from the threat of alien incursion. Who will you ally with when the fate of the universe is put to the test?
Stargate Worlds is a science fiction MMORPG based on the hugely popluar Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis TV series. Its development company, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, is a new kid on the block, but its team of industry veteran members posses a good deal of experience, having collectively shipped over 80 game titles. Stargate Worlds focuses on squad-based ranged combat and utilizes modern and science fiction weaponry, cover and terrain, but also offers a non-combat experience in the forms of detailed crafting and construction gameplay.
Being in the final stages of pre-production until probably late spring, little is known about Stargate Worlds. What is known is that playable areas in the MMO are based on both historical and fictional human time periods, alien environments, and interstellar space locales. Also, the choice to play as one of the ‘Big Four’ races within the Stargate Universe (Human, Jaffa, Goa’uld or Asgard) is planned and the MMOG will adhere to the backstory of the TV series, with players affecting future stories.
