Official Topic about new game from Funcom


The Secret World is a highly anticipated upcoming MMORPG created by Funcom (Anarchy Online)
and Ragnar Tørnquist (The Longest Journey, Dreamfall). It blends elements of mythological and
modern day civilizations, along with a mix of dark fantasy and the supernatural, and has no
character classes. In The Secret World, where urban legends, myths, and conspiracy theories are
all true, the only question is: what do you do now?



SECRET SOCIETIES

As a new initiate of The Secret World, you must choose your allegiance with care, for your choice will forever decide the future of humankind.
In a world where every conspiracy theory, every myth, fable and urban legend is true, three ancient societies pull the strings and decide our fate. Forced into alliance by circumstance, they stand united against the rising darkness, but remain divided in pursuit of power


DRAGON

"Change requires chaos, and chaos is ours to orchestrate."
Unknowable instigators of change, through quiet violence they create tiny ripples that grow into sweeping tsunamis.

ILLUMINATI

"The world is a bad place, and you can either do or get done. We're the Illuminati and we're not done."
Invisible puppet-masters and corporate manipulators, they crave power and wealth by any means necessary.

TEMPLARS

“There is no purpose greater than ours. The world will founder without structure and discipline.”
The old guard; suave and sophisticated, but fiercely brutal and uncompromising in their crusade against darkness.



WORLD

Explore known and unknown locations throughout the modern-day world.

Imagine a world where vampires hunt for mortal blood in London nightclubs, where werewolves hide in the New York subways, and where demons lurk in the shadows of Seoul. Imagine no more. Step into the secret world.


DECKS

A deck can be a useful guide when developing your character in The Secret World.
In The Secret World you can fulfill a deck by acquiring specific abilities that work particularly well together. Fulfilling decks earns you achievements as well as unique clothing.


CHARACTERS

The non-player characters of The Secret World are more than just mission terminals.
Characters are key to good story telling, and The Secret World is populated with hundreds of fully voiced and motion-captured characters that bring the online world to life.
LOCATIONS

Explore known and unknown locations from all over our own, modern-day world.
Forget everything you thought you knew about the world, and embark on a journey through the secret world. Explore real and mythical locations, from primordial forests to bustling city streets, from secret research facilities to alternate dimensions.
MONSTERS

In The Secret World the creatures of myth and legend are all very much real.
Mummies, vampires and werewolves. Zombies, ghouls and golems. Tentacled creatures from the deep and demons from the pits of the hell dimensions. The horrors you believed were nothing but myth and legend are all true.

i'm pretty interested in this game too. Wouldn't mind a trial.

can anyone be nice and invite me for a free trial ? I would like to test it out for myself before buying. Thanks.

Enjoying this game a lot. Look forward to the updates they release monthly.

Anyone who has played multiple MMO's this is an entirely different game altogether. It has actually hard puzzles that require you to think outside the box as well with immersing "our" world into theirs.

Will say this, this game is massive and is like 32gigs of space.

Some of the puzzles are so amazingly difficult too, I forgot the name of which it was, but I spent like an hour and a half just thinking about what the hell I missed, running around ALL OVER getting attacked, which would make me lose my train of thought, and make me start thinking from scratch... then the answer was so insanely simple, yet difficult...

It was amazing! The game doesn't really feel like a grind at all, which I really like.

totally agree, and dont you just love the tactics for instances etc.
