]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> 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.

]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> 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.

Moff

]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> 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...

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

]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> @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.

]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> @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.

]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> They're finally doing a Starcraft MMORPG? Oh, that is FUCKING AWESOME! I am SO PUMPED ABOUT THIS SHI--

Oh. Never mind.

]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> Hey where were the powerful people in loincloths!

92BuickLeSabre

]]> <![CDATA[Beware The Flesh-Eating Plants Beyond The Stargate]]> 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.
