Hoi Kids
Apart from being violently ill and everyone of my players off living their lives, have only lately heard of a 2012-release MMORPG that has (thankfully) harvested be worst of popular-culture horror, classical mythos, WOW, X-Files and modern firearms into what looks like a new obsession. Only doing one link as I don't want to sound like a shrill, but I'm liking the idea of the medic of a group armed with a flaming sword and an AK-47. Pros: X-files & WoW + assault rifles x fire = Win, a classless system, magic, huuuuuge amount of creepy urban myth that's "cannon" (God help us if there's a Slender Man as the human body can only go for so long without sleep/Long Haul) and a decent degree of customization. Cons: Made by the people who did Conan Online (So us Aussies are going to have to love the Korean servers), it's another MMO, it's not Shadowrun. Thoughts, discussion, etc? -Tir |

Looks interesting, and a bit different from the typical MMO and it's made by Ragnar Tornquist who did a great job on other games. But I'd rather have the sequels to The Longuest Journey and Dreamfall than this.

I was completely pro The Secret World until I saw the gameplay videos. Then not so much. My reasoning is that the looks like it plays like WoW/LotRO type MMOs with the 8-10 skills, auto attack, standard stuff like that. At this point in my life if I'm gonna devote any time to an MMO, I want it to do something new and different for me beyond the setting.
That said, if you DON'T have that complaint about MMOs, it looks good. |

Im with Adarael. The idea sounded incredible to me. But then I saw the gameplay vids. Not too impressive. I s'pose if you aint picky about your gaming expeirence, you can enjoy it. I doubt ill pay money for it though.
