The Secret World MMO

Me too apparently lol, wouldn't mind getting some beta access for this, haven't been in the mmo scene since Conan/Warhammer (Occasionally dabble in LOTRO).
 
If I ever play an MMO, this will be it. To my mind, whatever ways its unlike an MMO can only be a plus.
Mainly, I want this to do well enough to bankroll more Longest Journey/ Dreamfall, without being so succesful that it's 10 years 'till he has time to work on them.

Won't even bother explaining why, I did set out a post but deleted it, you can rather tell me why you think it is.
There's nothing in common so far.

Nothing wrong with Anarchy Online. Played it for years, rather enjoyed it.

Just the styling, those pictures instantly screamed AO to me even before I saw it was a funcom MMO. The shacks look almost exactly how I remember the areas just outside the Omni city, the clothes, just the graphical interface is exactly how I would expect a present day AO to look.

You crazy.. crazy person.. (that said, I have a life account, so I shouldnt complain).. but I wouldn't want to pay funcom a monthly fee to play their games, and anarchy online really does not justify upwards of £15 a month. Colin is delluded if he thinks that the 'rebalance' will work, or that they will ever get the so called engine-upgrade finished before the game ceases to be financially viable.

I will not deny that I enjoyed my years on RK2, but still, eventually you reach the point of having been there, and done everything, and there's nothing fun left to do..
 
Played AO for many years and the only reason I did was for the SciFi angle, I am very very reluctant to pick up another Funcom game these days.

History repeats itself often with FC and still, to date, AO has about 123982398293 that should have been implemented at launch that is still not now. Simple things.

Solitus Enforcer who used two sticks with skulls on the end. Of course I'm crazy.

Cant remember ever paying that much a month though!
 
simple fix bug that has NEVER been fixed.. any sl mob.. "I am much stonger that you".. wth is STONGER?

hell, even most people I know in ARK are leaving the game these days because it bores them to death, and I don't just mean average everyday little arklings, but the high up ones that have been there for years..

I dont begrudge AO, it is a complex game, and has a lot going for it, and its like will never be seen again, but its day has passed, and there is very little that can be done to save it.

Honestly, they should have let it die..
 
Haven't played it since the Alien Invasion stuff came in so can't really comment on what its like now.

No! I still play it now and again it's is really fun when I play with my friends again, starting new characters. Letting it die is admitting defeat, as long as they can keep it going it's good.
You're right, there is no other game like it, almost every other MMO doesn''t have the same equip/stat mechanics. It's what I miss, twinking extreme, none of this (just an example) "wow twinking" where you simply...right click the item.

Buffs, Implants/symbs, stat buffing items, stacking, food that gives you the last +agil out of 100s! :P I really want a game to bring a system like that back.

Bah, akimbo pistols and shooting rifles/shotguns from the hip.

Is it so wrong of me to want proper animations in games? :(

I cannot think of one practical application for holding a pistol in each hand. Apart from maybe staring in a rap video.

Watch King of New York (and pretend its a documentary)
 
I have had my on eye this for aruond a year. Could be very promising. For me age of Conan was great.... until the voice acting stopped 10 hours in.

I probably should probably forget it ever existed. I have been clean from WoW for nearly a year now and clean from Planetarion for nearly 10 years. I kind of like it!
 
Well it's by Funcom, so what we actually get at launch will be a broken mess they've lied through their teeth about, they are also going for a purchase + sub AND cash shop, so I wont be touching it with a barge pole :D

That's why i'm hoping to get into the beta.
 
AO was an awesome experience for me, but i think i missed the main issues on release and started playing as things got decent. Never had any real issues with it, and loved the levelling and twinking elements of it. Yes i am also crazy, one of the first Atrox agents to hit 220 back in the day...

AoC was dire, made my machine unwell everytime i loaded it and was basically unplayable regardless of settings. Gave it a try when it went FTP about a month ago and it did exactly the same despite having a much better rig than when i first tried it.

Interested in this but funcom make me nervous since the whole AoC experience.
