That trailer is fantastic too.

Dragon.

I...huh. I don't want to like it, because you know, Funcom. But damn if this doesn't look really attractive.

Illuminati.

As for the starting city thing, I'm sure they'll change it once beta starts and people wail and gnash. They can't afford another loss. Also, time to apply to Funcom Montreal Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Templar. Prepare to be terminally cleansed, American scum.

I have no real concept of what this will turn out to be, or for that matter, how it will turn out, but I got small nondescript butterflies of awesome in my tummy over it. Given the genre and the company, that can't possibly be a healthy feeling to have.

Also Templar.  Looks like at least a pretty original idea.  I'm expecting Vampire: the Masquerade meets The Da Vinci Code.  Should be cool awesome, for real.

This is what you want; this is what you get.

I'm excited by the lore. The screenshots aren't that inspiring, however. And with no gameplay mechanics announced, well...

Seoul? Or Shanghai? 'Cause that sure ain't Seoul in all the promo art.


Seoul now Surly. Way back in the first announcement it WAS Shanghai. Sometime between then and April of this year, they changed it to Korea. I haven't heard their reasons for doing so.

What screenshots?  Anything recent?  All I've seen is concept art and some stuff dating back before Dreamworld was updated to...Cheatah something?

The faction was deliberately misleading people about where they're from. Maybe they're still doing it.

Dragon.

Very classy and quite fun to do. A MMO in the modern world about hidden secrets and societies would be great fun if done well. It's also going to have some real challenges making it work, but at least it shouldn't be boring. Then again I guess the last "learn the secret" MMO was the matrix online and that didn't even come close to being viable.

Is a man not entitled to the hurf of his durf?

If you have a forum account active your secret society. Maybe it will help with beta chances?
From the forums derived from the quarterly financials. Hope they announce something lovely at PAX.

Edit: The Secret World highlights

The Secret World, Funcom’s next full-fledged
MMO is progressing according to plan. The
game’s team size is currently around 100 people.

The development team reached several significant
milestones during Q2 including first in-game
versions of character creation, combat and
adventuring.

The DreamWorld Engine, powering The Secret
World, also received several significant updates
during Q2, with improved content production tools
and new graphics features being two key focus
areas.

The activity levels within the community of the
game grew significantly in Q2 primarily due to the
successful public relations activities initiated in
April, which has led to an increased level of
attention for the game.

The Company plans several new PR activities for
the fall to further stimulate interest in The Secret
World and to increase the community size of the
game.

Status:
100 people working on project
In alpha stage of development:
Combat iterations
User Interface prototyping
Character development
implementation
PVP testing etc.

Background:
Contemporary setting
‘Dark days are coming…’
Funcom’s proprietary Dreamworld
Technology engine

External activities:
Further game information revealed
at PAX in Seattle next week

I think you'd have to be crazy to expect much out of it, with all the shit that is out there.  At least it is a different concept.  That alone should keep me interested for at least a little while.

Well, it does say "sex and drugs" and "there are no rules" on their resume...

Got the Illuminati thing without aiming for anything specific and i don't think i picked relatively more answers matching their philosophy. Wouldn't be surprised if the result of test was generated in entirely random manner -- what a better way to screw with conspiracy junkies and make them furiously search for patterns where there isn't any why so serious?

That's 3 years and some change. Without really checking i'd guess it's counting down to that Mayan "end of the world" date..?

That was my first guess, but I don't even know if the 1203 refers to days or if that's just an assumption.  'Sides, that would make the rollover of a day about 7pm central.  Where is it midnight then?

Just checked, Reykjavik, Iceland.  Guess I shoulda known that already.

12/22/2012 is when the clock would tick down (in Iceland)

We should do a gay gamer version of that list. Just pick every big name male character and say you get that "vibe".

The general consensus on the forums (in response to about 100 and counting threads of "HAY GUIZ, I JUST KNOTICED...") is that the count down means nothing right now.
