Been watching The Secret World for awhile now, as I like Funcom once they get some polish on their games. And the 3 faction system is something I fell in love with in DAoC, and wish more games would do it. Allows for more choices, and better competitive playfield where if one side gets to lopsided and overpopulated, the other 2 underdogs can sorta team up against them. The freestyle, sandbox games can be great, and this game sounds like it will have tons of choices for character skill customization, and the fact that your clothing is all basically stat-less and you can customize how you want to look through that makes me happy. Aesthetics is a big role in games anymore. Looking forward to the beta to really give this game a testdrive. |

Excellent! I for one will be signing up for beta right away. Have a good feeling that they will get it right with this one. Plenty of time to get things nicely polished. While most of my old guild has been clamoring and going 'omg star wars, star wars, star wars'...i've been waiting on this game to come out. :D Be great to have another sandbox option in the MMO market. |

I will at least buy the game when it releases, unless the beta is a total bomb. Subbing will depend on my first month of play (but that's no different than any other mmo I play). To be honest, I think just having the setting being set 'today' in urban settings is the most visually appealing thing to me. They're going to have to work really hard to mess this up. :-) Join the League For Gamers. |

Even though my only love for Funcom was AO, despite all the bugs when it was released, I can't wait to try this mmo out. I am a big scifi nut, so the game has my vote |

It's a modern, urban setting with elements of gothic horror and science fiction. The general theme is conspiracy and things hidden from the general population, of which you are no longer a part. There's almost nothing you can't fit in there. Zombies, aliens, witchcraft, government cover ups, werewolves and vampires, time travel, alternate realities, you name it. Things definitely in there are: Zombies. Lovecraftian Entities (kind of like Dagon and the fish people). An 'Angels and Demons' kind of historical conspiracy. A New England finishing school for 'special' students (magic users or telepaths). I haven't seen anything specifically about aliens, but I'm sure there's something there.

Ohhno.. Why did they have to release the Beta for TSW almost at the same time they add the Turan mini Expansion to AoC??
