  • When you have more "freedom" it is often easier to see how to "succeed" thru a narrow path, even if the actual choices are plenty.   Likely it will take some thinking and trying to find the advantages of different ways over the more cookie cutter …
  • It's obvious that a huge number of players, with the added stress of the hacking issues would put a big load on their CS.  3.5 days for something like this, however, keeps being bad.  Customers are not the ones that got the overflow or hacking probl…
  • Originally posted by fallenlords Originally posted by grapevine They did have a free trial at launch.   Buddy keys, celebration weekend, and now this.   Its just a continuation. I got invites to beta weekends for TSW and all that malarkey, I…
  • Originally posted by BadSpock Originally posted by TalulaRose Still regular price on Steam and everywhere else.   Try harder.......and thank-you for selling the game. Amazon has been doing this a lot with various games as they are tryin…
  • If you don't buy the most expensive coat you freeze to death in Transylvania!
  • How come the official twit message posted here, saying that the trial time starts after your first login (not download) didn't stop the criticism on the gaming free time loss while downloading the game...   Start download today, finish in a month,…
  • Originally posted by Dakeru Originally posted by BarCrow Originally posted by Dakeru Meh I was one of those who sank 14 hours into the game and finished the first main story. Bugs me that I didn't get those 2 days extra or I would have fini…
  • Originally posted by dellirious13 Originally posted by Xthos If it went f2p, I would probably stop playing it, as most f2p games seem to be p2w or annoying with limitations.  If I were Funcom I would start doing B2P in a few months (with bonu…
  • Originally posted by bcbully Waiting on the details... Tomorrow you think? Depends on what type of presentation they are doing, if its a series of press only presentations it could have an embargo, if it's more open it would likely show up tomorro…
  • Originally posted by Xthos If it went f2p, I would probably stop playing it, as most f2p games seem to be p2w or annoying with limitations.  if it went "f2p" nothing would change for sunscribers, and "free" players would have to pay for anything …
  • To this point the official response (even recent response) is to hold on to your tken from the SoS   the Melissonomoi has not been disclosed aside from some "buzzing" in the game, so probably whenever the Santuary of Secrets is portrayed we might …
  • Originally posted by jdnyc Originally posted by Kuppa Isnt there a CGI trailer about that also? Yeah, apparently they were foreshadowing it. They were foreshadowing it since 2009, remember the "The Secret World" poster art portraying the ka…
  • I'll probably get GW2 and keep also playing TSW, i don't see why it has to be "Either or" when both can give a different kind of experience. FC keeps delivering monthly updates, and those investigation missions are quite cool.  The raid seems epic …
  • Originally posted by Kuppa Originally posted by bcbully Originally posted by Kuppa Interesting read. Their stocks fall sharply after the release of TSW, they attribute it to the metacritic scores. The one thing that might make sense of that is …
  • Originally posted by cronius77 anyone who bases if a game is good or not on this site is insane and should not be managing any business and that goes for other fan sites. Games that really want to know of their success measure how many people are w…
  • Unless they meet their needed numbers, it's no blessing whatsoever, instead of being bashed for a bug ridden launch the haters will simply say that the game was bad and tanked.  Which is not the case. Less money than expected also means less money …
  • It is a shame, but yes, a game based on no known IP do suffers a big impact based on "proffessional" reviews, and far too many of those have given mediocre ratings, even tho player reviews are between 8 and 9 points out of 10. The impact of this co…
  • Originally posted by sfc1971 An expected problem and a simple trade off. It is the same problem gmail and the likes suffer, if the name is the identifier for an account/character, it needs to be unique and the larger the pool, the less change you …
  • Originally posted by Zooce I was pretty disappointed with the naming system in TSW.  Forcing three names is awkward in many cases, not to mention the issue you raise about seemingly every nickname being taken.   For me personally, I used Zooce f…
  • Aside from requiring a game account to post in the forums... by this time most game after launch are filled with "i quit", "i no longer enjoy" and similar threads.    So far TSW forums have relatively few of those.
