Gigantinormous is an awesome adjective! as for the size of worlds, I'd say that 3-4 hours would be really fun for a full run. I can't wait to decipher languages... I've thrown together a few languages, and I'm teaching myself to read Ancient and Goa'uld. lol

Enough yammering though. I think the size of the worlds will cut down tremendously on lag, since there will be such a large expanse for people to spread out in. It'll be a harddrive devourer, from the size of the game, but in all likelyhood, totally worth it.

This can be good and bad... i like content more then exploring. Running is one thing but getting transportation is another? How do we get around? by finding another stargate on same planet? hmmm a whole continent in wow?

show me the Stargates...

As long as I get to dial my own DHD to other planets, I'm happy. I just can't wait for that first moment were I put in the coordiantes and step through that gate.

when "that" moment when u dial and step in will happen, ill proly uncap a beer and keep 1 minute of silence hehe

whisky we know what planets and earth is one of them... *eyes glow* they been a good host for many years

Yeah the size will meen little to us all once we finally get to play we be to stoked to care much hehe. but yeah to big with no travel could be rough, but i cant see them being WoW continent size without some travel. and there shouldnt be more then one stargate on the same planet but maybe some teleportation devises that be cool, maybe as check points. or travel by cutscenes i could see that as an option also.

Just like Oblivion would be fine be me, to start with. It's large enough and also a few smaller worlds for more action and stuff like that.

Yeah Gigantenormous sounds great to me...

I think the worlds have to be pretty big just to capture the essence of the stargate episodes.. Sometimes the teams have to work miles and miles away from the gate before they found anything interesting...

+ if the archeologist characters are to be able to use their abilities they have to find ancient ruins.. And as we all know from watch SG1 the ruins are never next to gate, as im sure SG3 will clarify as they are usually the poor smows who are stuck GUARDING the gate... lol sounds fun

and apparently the game designers have also stated that characters such as scientists/archeologists can go through game and cap their characters without having to get into many fights, so the worlds would have tobe big for characters to be able to avoid mobs and the like...

But honestly i think having large worlds will be great... and make the look of the game a really unique experience out in the big mix of MMORPG's which are flooding the market in the next year or so...
