Hmm.

It'd be kind of neat if they used some kind of engine (maybe similar to Spore?) to randomly create alien worlds and biologies whenever you and your "team" went through a Gate.

I guess it'd make it hard to synchronize things. But it'd still be cool.

Maybe they should just save it for the Rifts MMORPG.

Hey where were the powerful people in loincloths!

They're finally doing a Starcraft MMORPG? Oh, that is FUCKING AWESOME! I am SO PUMPED ABOUT THIS SHI--

Oh. Never mind.

The distant past. Or, maybe American Samoa.

There ya go.

I'm having that "journey to the barrier peaks" feeling.

@92BuickLeSabre: Sorry I don't know how they got left out! I just added them back in. They should show up in a minute.

@92BuickLeSabre: PS: Thanks for the save!

@braak: If they used procedural generation, it'd be fine. Procedural generation is not the same thing as random, so it would work well - and I personally think it's a pretty great idea for fleshing things out.

@Huxleyhobbes: Yeah, that could be pretty keen.

And they've got a mechanism here that would enable them to continue to generate new worlds constantly, in theory.

FEEEEED ME!

That said, is Tom of Finland designing these characters???

@Charlie Jane Anders: No. Thank you! (I like powerful people in loincloths.)

So, anybody else think that a Jaffa 'tank' won't be able to shoot and will have a negative dodge modifier until they reach 'Prime' level? These guys are like stormtroopers in Egyptian drag after all...

Hey, no one told me they were using me as a model for the Jaffa physiques!

Tom of Finland? Ha ha ha...hot! Love the leather, although their heads seem a little small.

OK, I can believe the worm holes, and the jaffa, and a bunch of other things. But the hover "Ed-209 head w/a Chrysler 300 body" is a little much for me.

I suppose I'll give this a shot when it comes out. I want to find an MMO that isn't WoW to play ... I keep getting sucked back in to Wow since I have a pile of RL friends that play.

I wanted to try Tabula Rasa but everyone I asked said that it combined the worst aspects of FPS, RPG, and MMO to create a game that wasn't worth playing.

Wow. If the in-game mechanics live up to the production level of the art design, we could very well have the first great sci-fi MMORPG.

Maybe it'll even wash that Star Wars Galaxies taste out of my mouth.

I'll probably just roll shammy.
