With SOE's focus on its other big name collectible card game and the Stargate TV show having passed its popularity peak about five years ago, this gem of a TCG has managed to fall by a long forgotten wayside. Not only did this, the game's second expansion, miss its release date by around two months with no explanation, but when it did finally sneak out for sale to zero fanfare, it even took the hardcore players by surprise.
In fact, since the release of the first expansion back in August last year, a number of broken cards went uncorrected as developers worked on other projects, while a diminishing community continued to ask for some kind of evidence that they weren't being ignored. SOE's response? A stony wall of silence, as though the powers that be had decided to let this particular enterprise die a slow, fitful and largely unnoticed death thanks to minimal marketing support. Which is a shame, because it doesn't deserve it."
WorthPlaying is reporting that "Stargate Resistance" will be hitting store shelves on Feb 11, 2010.
You may have heard that the official Stargate Worlds MMORPG is dead before it even launched. But that will not stop you from playing this free Stargate game...
They shouldn't have cancelled the PS2 and Xbox game for Stargate online now we have nothing.
Is it just me or is Stargate the greatest Universe in which to place a MMO.

PERFECT MMO. Blizzard must make one.
EDIT: I will buy any PS3/360 stargate game... that's a promise.
Being able to go to the Pegasus galaxy would be pretty sick as well. I've never played any MMORPGs before, but since I love stargate just so much, and like you say, it is probably the best universe for a MMORPG. Should be a good game I bet :)
Is the Stargate Worlds MMORPG Dead? Cheyenne Mountain Money Problems & a new Lawsuit may delay the Stargate Worlds MMO Release Date....
For those who like stargate and MMO games I hope not. I am not a fan of MMO games but I like stagate and wish they done the game as a single player game but I cant have everything my way.
The only realistic way this game could have been done single player would have been to copy Mass Effect's formula. I'm not sure if they could have pulled it off even then.
This MMO really wasn't a smart idea in the first place and it definitely isn't one right now. WoW simply has a monopoly on the genre, if you want proof then just check the latest news on Warhammer and Age of Conan (The supposed WoW-killers). Both were forced to merge quite a few of their servers due to lack of population, Age of Conan moreso than Warhammer.
The only MMO that stands a chance is Star Wars: The Old Republic. Other than that... I guess DC Universe Online may be able to level off at half a million.
On second thought... they could possibly still get some customers if they either take the Guild Wars route and get money off numerous expansions, or make it a F2P MMO.
