i mean making your own ships look how you want like you can make your own creatures in spore.
AMEN!
I've learned not to get too excited about any MMORPGs since LOTR & AOC (I found them both very disappointing), but I am looking forward to trying this one.
It's nice to see an MMO that will take strategy to win. YAY no more lame hack n slash. I hope you can be a Jaffa like Teal'c or Bra'tac. I want to get my hands on a Goa'uld staff weapon and blast some system lords
I doubt Stargate Worlds will be the WoW of Sci-FI MMORPGs, Star Wars Old Republic might be when it is released but I don't even think that will reach WoW levels.
Fanboi you are.... and your post reaks of it.
No one trolled you, they just spoke of healthy skepticism to your outlandish claims.
At this point in time, you know nothing more than anyone else, the game doesn't exist (dare I call it vaporware? Yes, I dare).
Hey, it might be good, but I prefer to wait until I see what's being delivered.
Do they pay you guys to do this?

I havent followed this game much so I cant really dispute its direction. And the industry sure could use a decent hit after the last few years of lousy wow clones.
Having said that, there is one thing to say....
no fps or 3rd person shooter MMO has had any success, not even close. That combat style is better served on consoles. Its just not popular with the MMO crowd. Look at Star Wars Galaxies, it plummeted from 225k to less than 75k once they switched to 3rd person shooter.
Richard Garriot told us all how the combat in Tabula Rasa would revolutionize MMO gaming. It would utilize skill, cover, line of sight, strategy, etc. Sounded good on paper. What it was in reality was another boring shooter game.
One thing is for certain, if the game doesnt resemble classic rpg combat it likely wont very well. If we need physical quick reflexes, a 3rd hand to manuever and duck and cover, etc it wont do well. The average age of a MMO gamer is 28 for men and 30 for women. That demographic doesnt have the physical skill to play shooter games well.
RPG's do well for that demographic because they rely on brain power rather than a good wrist and thumb coordination
Granted it would be nice to see someone do something new that works. AoC tried something different but it still resembled rpg classic with a twist.
Well I'm 33 and thought the one thing TR did better than anyother MMORPG was the combat system, the trouble was that the rest of the game was a steaming turd. NGE didn't bomb because the combat system was 3rd person shooter, it bombed because it alienated everyone (23 profs disappear overnight?) and that new combat system was just the old one speeded up X100.
As for me not having the reflexes required for a shooter? I do pretty well in BF 2142 and when I go training for boxing my reflexes are pretty good. Sure a fat 12 year old on a sugar rush probably is quicker but to be honest experience and knowledge of the enviroment counts for more than pre-pubescent reaction times in my opinion.
I'd say that any combat system can be adapted and done well, just those games you mentioned would still suck no matter what you did. I'm waiting on Jumpgat Evoloution, it should be a 3rd or 1st person shooter combat system.
I agree that most people in thier 30's don't play shooters as much as teenagers. After coming home from work or listening to the wife nag for 12hours about how she's not getting enough attemtion, I wouldn't want to play BF 2142 or any shooter. I would prefer a slower paced MMORPG form of combat, although I dislike most MMO combat since I can't abide the button mashing. SWG had a nice macro system, it made combat alot easier. I'll be playing JG:E with a controller so it'll make it alot more intuative since I like controllers and all the buttons are at my finger tips. I did the same for flying planes in WWIIOL, the controller was great for that just not enough people playing
As for SGW, it looks good but so did AoC, so I'll just wait until I can get a buddy key or free trial now.

I hate to say it, but with that last publicity pic they posted of the premier SG1 team, they have alot of work to do, the quality of those graphics rate right up there with comic book graphics and for all of you that say graphics do not play a big part in the game, well think again and go back to playing Rune Scape. Rune Scape is a very good game but lack in the graphics quality department. If I am going to pay $50 for the game and $15-$20 a month subscription it better have some great graphics and what I have seen so far from the few short videos and many so called in-game pics, it just ain't going to happen.
Hi Judge!
Anyway I think I can say this as I'm a beta tester. It's awesome! Buggy as to be expected with Beta, but the final product is going to rock!
Currently playing: World of Warcraft, Star Trek Online, Runes of Magic...
Played: If it was released I played it...

I do think that if CME go bust then someone else out there will take it over, possibly sony who owns 20% of MGM even though I dislike them.
