Stargate Worlds Archetypes

Archetypes, or more commonly known as classes are somewhat different to those traditionally found in MMORPG's. There will be no specific healer class, as everyone has the ability to be a medic, although some archetypes will be better than others at healing and reviving others.

Opportunity for specialization within classes, and the ability of more than one class to perform certain functions within a group, should lead to more flexibility in grouping. A robust tech tree will make each class far more customizable and replayable.

The classes are:

• Archaeologist
• Asgard
• Goa'uld
• Jaffa
• Scientist
• Soldier
• Commando

Until the game is released, this class list and the classes themselves are subject to change. Asgards, Goa’uld and Jaffa are non-humans, while Archaeologist, Commando, Scientist and Soldier are humans.

Each archetype can specialize into one of the three different trees, which will define a particular play style. I should note that the Scientist and Archeologist are non-combat classes, meaning they will excel in solving various puzzles and similar.

Each archetype will have its own starting area, which will teach you how to play it and also give you a rich backstory that comes from 10 seasons of Stargate SG1.
