[B]The Secret World[/b] [img]http://www.conan.ch/tsw/TSW_poster.jpg[/img] Just got an email from Funcom about a MMO that thy are currently making. Looks like some kind of post-apocalyptic game looks good so far. I am i templar take the test! [url]http://www.darkdaysarecoming.com/[/url] Forums: [url]http://www.darkdemonscrygaia.com/[/url] Info: [RELEASE]Imagine if every myth, conspiracy theory and urban legend was true. Imagine if your worst nightmare came to life. Imagine a world where vampires hunt for mortal blood in dingy London nightclubs, where werewolves lurk in the sewers beneath Seoul, and where the undead prey on the living in the shadows of New York City. This is the premise for «The Secret World», Funcom's upcoming massively multiplayer online game set in the modern day real world. •Urban environments - Throw yourself into the bustling urban environments of New York, London and Seoul. Shop for clothes, weapons and accessories. Stop by the local nightclub to socialize with your friends before heading out into the darkness that is slowly encroaching on the city streets. •Real-world locations - Discover real-world locations throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and America. From New England to Egypt, explore vast lands full of detail and story as you unravel the myths, legends and conspiracies of the world through a unique, story-driven gameplay experience. •Freeform gameplay - Experience a game that has no classes or levels. Truly freeform character customization allows you to create the alter-ego you want to play, and gameplay that goes beyond the usually rigid MMO structure allows you to play the game the way you want to play it. •Hundreds of powers - Wield fiery katana, gold-plated pistols, and deadly automatic rifles. Learn martial arts, black magic and voodoo. Choose from hundreds of powers to create a character completely customized to your liking. •Action-packed combat - Lose yourself in the most intense real-time action-packed combat system ever. Aim, strafe, shoot – movement is key as bullets fly past you and explosions threaten to tear you apart. Swords or firearms, magic and melee, each offering a similarly intense, reactive combat experience. •Secret societies - Join the Illuminati, the Templars or the Dragon - the three secret societies that pull the strings of our world. Work your way to the top, earn titles and rewards, and play a key role in the battle for world domination. •Player-made organisations - Create or join player-made organisations called cabals. Create your own headquarters, and decorate and furnish it to your liking. All cabals are ranked against each other, and a cabal's success will bring fame, fortune and power to its members. •Track your progress - Earn points for everything you do - from combat and exploration, to trade skills and PvP - in order to rank high on both local and global scoreboards, gain titles and worldwide acclaim, and help make your secret society the most powerful and influential of them all. •Intense player vs. player combat - Take part in ferocious, non-stop player vs. player action in the Battle for Hollow Earth. Fight to control anima, a priceless resource deep within the bowels of our world that will bring unprecedented power to whichever cabal that collects it •Next-generation graphics - Featuring the latest in cutting-edge graphics technology, explore beautifully realized real-world locations that will truly set the standard for next-generation massively multiplayer online games. Prepare for an audiovisual experience unlike anything seen before.[/RELEASE] Email: [RELEASE]Hello, Did you know that Funcom is currently developing a brand new massively multiplayer online role-playing game called The Secret World?

Looks pretty sick, have to keep an eye on this.

Ye looks like something descent for a change!

The artwork is pretty awesome.

Post your faction, if you took the test. Illuminati.

If you like this game change your avatar to your faction image you can download it from your email. no one will know why unless they come here.

I don't get the katana against vs giant golem concept.

Looks decent, more like a pretty picture, concept, and theme though, rather than something that will be really fun to play. Hehe, I loved that answer "Who cares, I have the key to the bunker" Templars.

I became a Templar. I lurve me my templars.

So it's a rip off of The World of Darkness setting? Cool.

Illuminati.

Templars the game looks cool

Looks cool, but since it's just another MMO I know it'll probably end up failing.

I got Illuminati. Looks cool so far.

Signed up yesterday for the Illuminati ^^

well shit, I hope I didn't delete my email about this.

Everyone who is interested should check out the forums and go into usercp and subscribe to your faction and read the myths and stuff its pretty interesting.

[QUOTE=Zeraux;17859265]Signed up yesterday for the Illuminati ^^[/QUOTE] How do you do this. I want to be in the Illuminati :(

[QUOTE=Stickmna;17859390]How do you do this. I want to be in the Illuminati :([/QUOTE] at the end of the test click Illuminati.

I signed up a while ago, and i'm apparently aligned with The Dragon.

Good premise, chances are poor execution.

This game looks great, but alot of games has, and alot of them has not been. But perhaps it'll finally be an MMORPG i'll like?

Illuminati. This game looks pretty cool :dance:

Templars, and I like that this looks pretty dark, let's just hope Funcom keeps up with the horror-thing, Age of Conan felt a bit too cheery in moments that should have been dark and too dark in moments that should have been cheery (or at least not dark).

My guess is that it's yet another pay-monthly deal. Is it?

This game looks ~pimp~

[QUOTE=Smirnoff Joe;17860112]My guess is that it's yet another pay-monthly deal. Is it?[/QUOTE] Hopefully.

Well, i'm not really a guy who likes my things with monthly payments. I'd prefer to just buy the game with a one-off payment, and be allowed to play for as long as I like without any paid time limits.
