MMORPG.com editors had a chance to talk with Cheyenne Mountain's Joe Ybarra about Stargate Worlds. The discussion wandered through many subjects, not the least of which was the upcoming beta. As reported a week or so ago, the SGW beta has already procured over 100,000 beta sign ups.

Beta signup is open right now and Ybarra expects that closed beta will begin in the next couple of months to begin working on "pocket worlds", that is testing situations in quests, missions and combat. The community site is also being revamped and will soon contain a knowledge base and game information.

Finally, I asked if the actors and Stargate characters are involved in some fashion in the game. "Oh, very much so," said Ybarra, "We interact with the actors and they are all very interested in the progress of the game and sometimes have ideas for us. As for the major characters being in the game, most likely they will be used for live events."

Keep your eyes on this site in the next several weeks. We'll have some news for you as well.
