The Stargate universe is all about using technology to bridge gaps between worlds, both literally and figuratively. On Sept. 19, the Stargate Worlds development team began using YouTube to bridge the gap with its fans, and it appears to be working. "Inside Stargate Worlds" was the most subscribed channel on YouTube for the week of Sept. 21, showing that players are eager to get as much information as possible on the upcoming MMORPG.

As of Sept. 29, the channel has received 12,811 views with 828 subscribers for seven videos. The short interviews focus mainly on combat, weapons and armor so far. For example, the newest video , which was added approximately half an hour ago, showcases Jay Ambrosini explaining that ablative armor allows energy attacks to be absorbed and diverted away from the player.

New videos will be added Monday through Friday, so keep checking back for your Stargate Worlds fix.
