Funcom's new MMO: The Secret World

[A Black Falcon]

This is set in a modern day world with secret societies that have magical powers though DJ, I doubt there are kobolds...

Can't wait for this to come out, do well initially, and then for everyone to drop it after the first free month ends.

:(

That does happen often though, doesn't it. Monthly fees aren't very nice. The alternative appears to be cash shops though, so I don't know which is better...

Also, their previous MMO, Anarchy Online (which was of course sci-fi) did decently, so I'm sure it'll be technically competent. The artwork's pretty good, too. How much fun it'll be we'll see, but I'm hopeful. Oh, the skill limit thing sounds great (like Guild Wars maybe, if I heard them right?).

I will say though, an MMO where people just dress like normal everyday people? Kind of boring compared to the usual sci-fi or fantasy settings... but I know, that's the point, being different. And it definitely seems like it's succeeding at that, it doesn't look like your average MMO, and that's a good thing. Overall, sounds good, I think. Or unique, at least.


I do have to admit though, one reason I'm looking forward to it is so that hopefully Funcom can make part three of The Longest Journey... the multiple cliffhangers at the end of the second game are so cruel!
