The Secret World

[Sol]

So, The Secret World.

The Secret World?

The Secret World!

The Secret World is a fairly suave MMO with a modern-day urban fantasy/horror setting that's dripping with Lovecraft and Stephen King influence. It's particularly notable for its completely non-linear advancement system - there's no levels or class boundaries to speak of, only different paths and builds to take - and for its very story-driven approach to questing and so forth.

It also went completely free-to-play in the Guild Wars model, meaning you buy it once and the whole game becomes available to you with no stingy freemium scheme. I'd say it's definitely worth it. I haven't had this much fun on an MMO in years.

It also has a fairly active RP community, at least on the Arcadia server. I know a few CotHites have expressed an interest in it and I know at least me and Aroes are currently playing, so I figured we could use a thread to keep track of who's who and where. :B

Cheers guys,

What server? I might give it a shot at some point.

[Sol]

Arcadia! It's pretty busy lately.

Like I said, once I can get windows running on a partition I'd be more than happy to join in; I'll likely port a character from CotH over into TSW.

I'll get it eventually. I was in the beta and felt that it was nice, but I wouldn't want to pay a monthly fee for it. But now that I won't have to, I'm going to buy it eventually. I still have all my exclusive crap from the secret war, so screw you guys, I have Zeus' lighter.

[c0rzilla]

Only thirty bucks? I'll consider it.

[Piken]

I'll think about it. :|

[Edgar]

Like others have said, I'll try it eventually.

[aroes]

Good, the game is must better (and easier) when you play with friends. As a note, many of the quests require quite a bit of critical thinking if you choose not to use online cheatsheets...so don't go clicking on things too fast or you'll end up wasting time.

[Binkleheimer]

I'll just wait for it to go on sale. On Steam.
Like all things do. Always.

[Harmonic]

It's on sale now for like, 22 bucks.

BOUGHT IT.

[Roxas65]

I got TSW gifted to me. So... Templars, anybody?

[Binkleheimer]

Well, they're no Teutonics.

[Harmonic]

I'm goin' Illuminati.
