Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?:

    Yes. I've always been a fan of Lovecraft, X-Files and conspiracy theory type of storylines.

 

Do you currently play this game?:

     Yes. Monthly subscriber, having fun with the End of the World event (Die Mayan zombie, die!)

If yes, please explain why:

   I was a long time World of Warcraft subscriber and got fed up with that game during the aftermath of Cataclysm. I played SW:TOR for three months and was so bored that I quit that game. I played Star Trek Online until they went all money-grab and botched the Season 7 roll-out because they didn't listen to widespread player concerns. So, I was looking for a new MMO and I tried out TSW, even before it went B2P. I like the game and with the decent perks for subscribers, I think I'll stick with it for the foreseeable future.

 

If no, please explain why:

  N/A

 

What MMOs are you currently playing and why do you play these particular titles?:

   See above. TSW is the only game I'm actively playing at the minute. I canceled my subscription to Star Trek Online after Season 7 was released.

   First post in this forum, just saw the TSW in the "recent post" box and curiosity caused me to check out the poll.

 

Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?:

No, because it was made by Funcom, a company that has never released an MMORPG that lived up to its potential, their inability to care about the players enough to listen, their inability to fix bugs and make updates in a short amount of time.

Do you currently play this game?:

Yes.

What MMOs are you currently playing and why do you play these particular titles?:

GW2, Runes of Magic, SWTOR, TSW...because none of them has subs and I have guildmates that still play them.

What compels you to post in this particular subforum as frequently (or infrequently) as you do?

Cause im sick of playing the game and need a break...or im at work.

Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?:

I'm not a heavy 'gamer' but I do enjoy MMOs despite a busy schedule mainly because of the online interaction with people. I met some really neat folks from the Middle East and Europe through my first online game, EQ2. I got a bit tired of EQ2 though and so was looking for something to replace it.

I played Star Wars the Old Republic and enjoyed it, but it seemed like every week I was being forced onto a new server and was losing all of my social connections and having to start from scratch. That got very frustrating.

So When I heard that The Secret World was all on one server and was set in the modern day I became intrigued enough to look more closely at it. I started doing the betas and, despite being a little rough around the edges, I also saw a lot of opportunity. That is was based on horror like Anne Rice was the real deal sealer for me. I haven't played anything else since those first beta days and most likely won't till I'm either one tired of it or two something like World of Darkness comes out.

Do you currently play this game?:

I do. Full time stay at home mom so my available hours fluctuate. My husband and I share an account. It would be great to play together, but not really possible due to one of our children being special needs. On a good week I may get four or five hours to play.

If yes, please explain why:

I'll admit that many of the mechanics of the game are a bit over my head. I have a lot of guides printed out that explain combat and actives and passives, etc. but have yet to have the time to actually read them lol :). Still, I LOVE the art. Kingsmouth is like a beautifully haunting interactive painting. I LOVE that fashion is a huge element of the game. Sometimes I'll log onto one of my characters and just kill zombies - that alone is very cathartic after a taxing day.

What MMOs are you currently playing and why do you play these particular titles?:

Right now I am only playing TSW. I would love a game like it based off of The Walking Dead or some other social-heavy game that was set in the modern day. World of Darkness looks very promising but is likely years away from being made. 

What compels you to post in this particular subforum as frequently (or infrequently) as you do?

I like seeing new outfits and screenshots, and the official forums make this difficult (you can only post links). TSW's community is, for the most part, a very mature and friendly one be they here, at the main site, or somewhere else. So I enjoy talking with other players, seeing what is new, and hopefully learning how to play better.

Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?:

Yes. I usually keep up with the news regarding all videogames, especially RPG's. This caught my attention because the setting was a bit different than the other MMOs in the target, it also looked really good. I didn't read much more about the game at the time though, and I promised myself I would never touch an MMO in my life since WoW in 2005 (too much time consuming) so I only bought the game when it went from subscription to B2P.

Do you currently play this game?:

Yes

If no, please explain why:

What MMOs are you currently playing and why do you play these particular titles?:

This is the only MMO I'm playing. But it has re-kindled my interest in the genre again. I may be picking up some other MMOs after I get bored with this one.

What compels you to post in this particular subforum as frequently (or infrequently) as you do?

Well, it's my first post ever in the forums (not just this particular subforum), I just recently found out about this site and registered.

Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?:

Yes. The modern setting and the ARG components were interesting and different from what I'd seen before.

Do you currently play this game?:

No but considering starting again as I did purchase the game at release.

If no, please explain why:

Busy with other games, some online and some offline single player.

What MMOs are you currently playing and why do you play these particular titles?:

SWTOR: It's free and I have a few friends who are still active in the game.

Age of Wushu: Dabbling in the beta.

What compels you to post in this particular subforum as frequently (or infrequently) as you do?

Happened to see the sticky thread and thought that I'd add my experience.
