About SGW

Liliane

Just some info here:

Most information what there is about stargate worlds current state, can de found in SGW wiki.

Stargate Worlds is an MMORPG, based on the Stargate SG-1 series 2 to 8, with playable areas based on historical & fictional human time periods, alien environments, and outer space locations. SGW is planed to come out in "late" 2008, but there is no real time table. There is no date for beta or even much information about the game it self, yet. You can find most information in the wiki and stargate worlds official web-page. You can also talk in stargate official forum.

Players can play four different races,  Asgards, Goa'uls, Jaffas and Humans. How ever there is good and evil side in both Jaffas and Humans. So basicly there is six playable "race". There is still a lot unknow about classes, but at least humans have archaeologist, scientist, commando, soldier.  There will be faction PvP and crafting.

Major difference to other mmorpgs, SGW has decide change the combat system more tactical and adding buzzles in quests and crafting. There is how ever very little known how this actually works.  More information about Stargate worlds game system can be found in wiki.

Hope this did help?

Is it a class/level or skill based system?

buzzle = puzzle/minigame

With space combat, there won't be player controlable ships at launch, but the devs have mentioned having missions aboard motherships.

No, there will not be space combat at release, but in later expansions there should be. It's not sayed when and how, but developers are interested about space flight and combat. Developers are now trying to make the base game work well first.

Game is level based, but it has skills too, so it could be hybrid. We know very little how skills work, but there is 50 levels and levels doesn't have so much meaning in SGW what players are use to. Example levels doesn't affect You damage or health much at all. SGW seem to be more gear and item based mmorpg.

Buzzles and minigames, we know very little how they work. We do know that there is possibility level all the way to 50 without ever been combat. What ever that means? Also developers has been sayed, it's possible solo 95% of SGW content. The game is about 80% static worlds and 20% instance.

Combat is more tactics than usually, with cover and flanking enemies and npcs trying to flank You. Mostly range combat, but there is melee part too.

In total, we know very little, SGW wiki has it most.

Also don't forget to read or listen the podcast developers Q&A episodes.

  SGW is design to be released in end of 2008. So beta would be a few months to half year before it.
