If this wasnt a single player game with co-op, if it wasnt made by failcom ...

They offer lifetime subscription for 200$, this looks nice actually plus all the goodies in the pack, the game does not fit my style to much but i will check more about it right now, maybe i miss something.

   Hoping for the best as I swipe my visa  :)

No more subscriptions for me.I like b2p.I can wait till gw 2 comes out.

Good luck with your subscriptions but i dont see you going any further.

i really want the lifetime sub but has far has gameplay and other stuff..funcom seem to be keeping peeps in the dark a bit,by that i mean there does'nt seem to be much publicity about the game or enough knowledge..£160 is a lot of money to get burned if its not ready for release,but saying that you would hope they have learned there lesson from AOC.

do you think a 2.4 ghz core 2 duo would run the game?

Arenanet is the reason I can't hit the buy button. I just havn't seen much of Secret World.  Funcome needs to release more game play videos for me to make a conscious decision.  Arenanet makes it pretty easy to buy a game before it comes out. Tons of videos, unbiased user reviews.  With Secret World, the E3 video looks aesome but i think that's all we got.  

I would never pay to beta test a game. If anything they should be paying the testers, not the other way around.

If all the beta testers are infact paying customers do you really think they're gonna bother with bug/exploit reporting? Hell no.

End result is a useless beta phase and most likely a broken game at release.

No thanks.

I thought it was $250 for lifetime, its $50 for the game + $199 Grandmaster package upgrade

I'm surprise how expensive this game will be?

I understand there is a cash shop with a subscription. But limiting charcater slot for accounts? woah (ok you have 3 slots, one for each faction, and you don't have classes so you probably will only roll 3, but still.....)

Sigh I wonder what is going to be in the cash shop.

It will depend on the rest of your system but going by the CPU i doubt it's that great. TSW uses the same engine as AoC so yuo'll probably struggle.

I am trying to order this, but I cannot use my username that I have used with funcom since Anarchy Online... WTH?

Log in your Funcom account at:

https://register.funcom.com/

There you can select Add game to your account and TSW pre-order has been added to the list.

Edit: Seems you are forced to pay for 2 more months of subscription directly this way when using your Funcom account:

But you can always use the OP link then tie that TSW account to your global Funcom account after I guess... Got to check that though.

Edit2: Keep checking the official forum. Topics about existing accounts and such have been created already:

http://forums.thesecretworld.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15

Last edit: the 2 months is just a bug in the subscription page apparently, you should only pay 49.99€ after. They are fixing this now.

Seee you in game ;)

£39.99 gah why are pre-orders getting so expensive... at least its better than the stupid prices of GW2..

Think ill have to wait on this one to see what its like first, hopefully get a beta invite and will help make up my mind.
