Thread: The Secret World

  1. #1

    The Secret World

    Not sure if many people have looked at this game, but if you're looking for a different type of MMO this might be worth looking into. I honestly haven't looked into it very much.

    I do see 3 factions in this game...Dragon - Illuminati - Templars, so if there is 3 way fighting going on that could be pretty harsh.

    An article explaining the game a bit better.

    I still find this to be potentially one of the best MMOs to come around as it gets rid of the artificial limits put on your character, although I'm sure there are other limits just as artificial. Of course there's plenty of time for the devs and publisher to hose it.

    Hmm, that actually sounds interesting. Will want to check this one out. (Skipping SWTOR.)

    I did too...
    Since you have to choose your faction (I did the access through Facebook), I joined The Illuminati.

    I have to say fuck you to more and more games releasing with opposing factions that cannot play together. Dividing your player-base doesn't help your game succeed.

    I am wondering on how a 3 faction game will work.
    On the surface it seems really neat, but can you ally with another faction for a short period of time?
    Or will it be an all out 3 way brawl all the time?

    DAoC was a 3 faction game; while 2 factions could work together, they still couldn't communicate within the game world. So it was intended to be all out war all the time.

    Looks like the secret world is so secret, you can't get to their website. (right now)
