**The Secret World**

[NZB]

I haven't touched it since beta tbh but i'll probably try it now if i find a box cheap enough.

 

[Pac3y]

Now it's sub free think i'll go back for a blast! Loved the game so different to the usual mmo's.

 

[Tune]

yeah I'll probably buy this when its on sale on steam.

 

[kthula666]

Subscription free ooo might come up in a flash sale on steam over the hols.

 

[AndyCr15]

I've not looked into it, do you have to buy things in game now?

 

[Pestilence]

Purchased last night. Can be had for £16.99 on GMG using the Winter Survey code.

Like hotbars and the ability to hide your helmet?

Nope, looks like all the existing content is going to be free.

 

[oddsbodikins]

All content released up until the end of this year will be free, but you will need to use ingame points to buy additional content (known as issues) at a cost of 5-10 dollars.

This is actually live now - I expected them to faff around getting it ready for a month or four, same as SWTOR. Excellent xmas pressie

 

[spudbynight]

Picked this up for $14.99 on Amazon US.

Been having great fun with it for the last few days. It is the most original MMORPG that I have played in a long time.

Word of warning - by the third zone (Blue Mountain) if your build is less than optimal you suddenly find things becoming very difficult.

This happened to me with my first toon, and while in theory you can fix it by skilling up on new skills, it's a bit of a pain to do and puts a lot of people off once they reach Blue Mountain.

Best thing is to decide on the weapon combo you want early on, and google a few builds.

Downloaded and player this abit today, the beginning is to confusing/boring thank god for new england i think i may get into this now. My only real gripe with this is the 30gig on my 120gig ssd... had to uninstall many games, bfme2, skyrim, pr3, anno 2070 and lotro. Is there a way to shift the game onto my standard ssd without needing to wait 24hours downloading from there slow servers? 128kbs average

Move the directory and link it.

I originally installed it to my normal HDD, under the D:\Games directory.
I moved the whole directory to my SSD, putting it on the root of E:
I then created a directory symbolic link to the new location with this command

mklink /D "D:\Games\The Secret World" "E:\The Secret World"


I always install to my normal HDD and then move/link to the SSD as I can put them back on the normal HDD and free up SSD space without having to uninstall.
I just keep my currently most active games on the SSD.

 

[MrJohnSherry]

Many OCUKers still playing this? I am hoping to get back into it when I get my new GPU.

 

[dannycivic02]

I just picked this up and so far really enjoying it and I'm not normally a fan of MMO games.

 

[Sleepery]

It's not really a normal mmo game

 

[Sleeve]

Just bought this

Will be on over the weekend. Are there guilds in this?

 

[Sleepery]

Yeah, they're called cabals.

 

[Tune]

Just bought this, tired of waiting for it to go on sale, doubt it will anyway add me on steam if any of you want to play.

edit:

wat? is this right? Looking at downloads it only takes 18gb, but it just took 40gb off my harddrive :/

 

[robin66]

Same, I very much doubted it would go any lower than it is now. So purchased it myself.

And yes, 18gb download, and 40gb taken up on my ssd also.
