  Hmm i think FC should first concentrate on Conan, then if they ever going to do a new Sci-Fi MMO they should do a sequel of AO.

  Does the game play on the year 2012 or does it play on the events spawning from 2012?  The countdown code which identifies December 21, 2012 as the target date as does the trailer.  Originally I thought this would be the release date, but then it occurred to me that they have a playable version which means it's probably/hopefully not 5 years away from release (not to mention to release on Dec 21, 2012 would be completely impractical for the release date).  Then it occurred to me the topic of the game could be that they are going to have the players play through the events of 2012's "apocalypse" and keeping the world alive in the events afterwards.  Of course it's just a theory, but it seems logical if they have days be only in real-time.  Will definately be interesting to see what events they have on Dec 21, 2012 though...

  Let it be known that I hate WoW with a passion and will defend almost any MMORPG against it.

  The Secret World is not based upon the Dreamfall universe.
  
  
  
  Dreamfall itself will be starting download-only episodic released gaming sometime in the hopefully near future.
  
  
  
  The Secret World is a completely separate venture.

  I`m guessing AO2 is out of the question right now and with that in mind "The Secret World" is looking real good. AoC looks intresting but 'The Secret World' seems to have much more going for it from what i have seen and read.
