MMORPG.com has partnered with Funcom to bring our readers and exclusive look at the art of storytelling in The Secret World. Penned by Funcom's Senior Producer & Creative Director Ragnar Tørnquist, the article discusses how the team is making the story is the "heart and soul" of The Secret World. Read our exclusive developer diary and then leave us your thoughts in the comments.

Story is the heart and soul of The Secret World. Inspired by myths, urban legends, fairy tales and real history, the story provides context to everything the player does in the game: from missions to dungeons, from player vs. player combat to monster encounters. Everything is influenced by our story, and everything plays a part in communicating the story to the player.

I'm sorry but NO!

I'd rather pay for a great game over getting a sub-par game for free any day.

Nervious about this one, could work, or could go horribly wrong, i suspect due to lack of content, bad questing mechanics, boring combat, etc. Still, I have hope.

This will be the one game I actually intend to read the quest text in.


I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

The biggest storytelling about TSW will happen before it's getting released.

If there werent alot of great F2P games out now I might agree. But there are, so I have moved beyond the old stereotype that F2P = fail.

Looking at the upcoming MMOs this one is the one I am most interested in. If this is done right it should offer a great balance between PvP with meaning and PVE. The potential here is way ahead of anything else on the horizion including Star Wars. I am really looking forward to this game.

Then you should be agreeing with him/her. The only two decent F2P games out there are DDO and LotRO, both of which started out as P2P ventures.

Sounds good, but I remember how exited I was for Tabula Rasa for years because it was going to bring good storytelling to MMO's and all that stuff. It turned out to be pretty avarage. I hope Funcom are inspired more by their Longest Journey games than Age of Conan when it comes to story.

Same here, but mostly because there won't be a wall of text to read. If I want that much text to read, I'll read my books.

 As Ragnar Tørnquist is Senior Producer & Creative Director, and was this on TLJ and dreamfall I belive there will be a lot if inspiration from his previous hit games.
