Stargate Worlds Open Beta & Content Plans, Closed Beta Nears
of the science-fiction MMORPG, according to
VideoGamer.com.
They spoke with Dan Elggren of developer FireSky at the Leipzig Games
Convention, and he told them: "Yeah. I want to do that just before launch. To me
you've got to have a pretty solid product when you go into open beta." He cites
Age of Conan as a game that was fixed with a "miracle patch" between open beta
and launch, saying they want the open beta to produce a "positive experience" to
help market the game. The story is pulled from an interview to be published
later today, as is
this story that says FireSky is already working on post-release content,
even though Stargate Worlds is not due for release until next year: "We're
actually developing some of that post-live content before we launch. That's
going to consist of new story lines, new worlds, new creatures to fight, as well
as we're looking at adding two more levels, so going from 51, 52 and then so on
and so forth. So that's new abilities, new armour sets and new ways of exploring
the universe as well." He says such content will be free for subscribers, and
notes that an MMOG will often see spikes in activity surrounding its launch and
subsequent expansions, which is a situation they hope to avoid. Meanwhile, there
is a new note on the
Stargate Worlds Website saying the closed beta test is "just a few weeks
away," and to sign
