The Secret World: Difference between revisions

The upcoming2012 MMORPG from Funcom, makers of ''[[The Longest Journey]]'', ''[[Anarchy Online]]'', and several other games. The premise of '''''The Secret World''''' is that ''all'' [[Conspiracy Kitchen Sink|conspiracies are true]], and [[Secret War|major clandestine organizations compete to take over the world]], whilst keeping [[All Myths Are True|swarms of mythical creatures]] under wraps in the process. Players join up with one of three [[Ancient Conspiracy|ancient conspiracies]]: [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|the Templar]], [[The Illuminati]], or [[The Chessmaster|the Dragon]], to fight in a secret war waged in the shadows of our world.

An interesting draw is the reported lack of classes and levels --— rather than selecting a class such as "mage" or "warrior" and only learn certain skills as you level up, players will be able to choose skills to do whatever they want-- — they are free to select both spells ''and'' melee, or stealth and healing magic or what have you.

Little more is known about the game itself, which is still in its beta testing phase, but information exists about the societies themselves- The Templars, based in London are the most open of the three, as well as the most devoted to fighting evil in all forms. Pitted against them are the Illuminati, who are focused on personal gain and individualism. The third society, the Dragon is the most secretive of the three- little is known about their motives, but they work in the shadows, working in the name of chaos, and balance.
