    Hidden within our own modern-day world is a secret world. A world where every myth, legend, and conspiracy theory is true. And now, dark forces are on the move and secrets that should have remained forever buried have finally been uncovered. The world is about to discover that the terrors that have plagued our nightmares are all very real.

    Dark days are here. Everything is true. Everything.

    United in the fight against the rising darkness stand three secret societies: the Dragon, the Templars, and the Illuminati. Their secret war for the power to control the world is fought on the battlefield and in the boardrooms, and through quiet whispers into the ears of CEOs and presidents they influence the fate of entire nations.

    Recruited to become agents for these secret societies, civilians – the players – are granted access to the true power embedded in their DNA. Finally capable of tapping into their full potential, these agents can now master any weapon, learn any power, and take on any role they want in the secret war and the battle against the rising darkness.

    I was looking at this game because it's the Daily Deal at Steam today, and I was intrigued by the ambiance of the game, as seen in the screenshots.  I'm seriously considering getting this one, simply because of this review:

    MMORPG.com wrote:The bottom line is that TSW is a very good game right now and is a great game in the making. It's got one of the most compelling storylines of any MMO I have ever played which is enough to bring in even the most jaded MMO fan. Add in a dedicated team of developers anxious to make itthe go-to MMO for players and you have a surefire recipe for success. I am convinced that Funcom will deliver on the promises given and am anxious to see what's next. I firmly believe that The Secret World, like a fine wine, is one of those rare MMOs that will only improve with time and attention, something that Funcom is clearly prepared to do.

    A game that has "one of the most compelling storylines of any MMO I have ever played"?  Oh YES!  I'll check into it further tonight, and if I can swing it, I'll be getting this one Happy bounce

    I have played several Funcom games.  The secret world is definitely interesting and you can sink a bunch of hours into it.  The first section of the game (the first three maps really) are actually quite enjoyable.  I found my interest in the next section to be less so.  I also prefer their other MMO, that being Age of Conan as well as their Survival game, Conan Exiles (I play that one pretty regularly).

    I never did jump into this game, nor any other MMO.  I have to be able to jump up from my computer at any moment (this is why I stream after youngest has gone to sleep), and I really wouldn't want to leave my teammates hanging.  Maybe one day Big smile
