Together, we're going to craft a balanced, polished, and most of all, fun game."

Testers will be the first to step through the Stargate for a super-sized sci-fi adventure that will send gamers around a galaxy dipped in liquid awesome.

I'm not real happy about this. The fewer people that know about the beta opportunity for SGW, the better chance I have of getting in beta.

I won't tell anyone else, if you don't

I've never registered for a beta as fast as I did when I found out about this xD

If you really, I mean really want to get into this beta, PM me.
