Stargate Worlds is in the Production Phase. Therefore, any information on this wiki (including the information in the developer quotes) cannot be taken as concrete facts, and may still change. |
Being a fundamentally social game communications are an important part of any MMO. There will be an in-game email system for player to player messaging which may also be used to advance the storyline A developer did mention that CME has something in the works "which will rock" the communications systems in other MMO's.[1]
Voice chat will not be included in the game on release, but as with other MMO's it may be incorporated in the future. Given that most gamers use a voice chat application it is unlikely to cause significant concern.
Players will also be able to chat with players on the other faction.[2]
There will also be an optional profanity filter in the game.[3]
Chatbubbles, if included, will be optional.[4]
[edit] Emotes
Like most other MMO's players in Stargate Worlds will be able to use emotes to communicate with one and other as well as text driven chat. These will include generic emotes as well as Stargate specific emotes.[5] Military hand signals are also planned for emotes, and some will be tied to special abilities.[6] These hand signals use the left hand while the right one is used for holding weapons.[7] There is much speculation on which emotes will be implemented in this thread.
