    The Secret World

    Hey y'all, long time no gaming!

    I've been away from the MMO genre since I quit WoW almost a year ago, but I'm thinking about jumping into The Secret World. I saw a demo of it at PAX back in September, and got my hands on it at PAX East last month. It's looking like it's going to be a pretty damned amazing game (despite being from Funcom). I won't bore you guys with the details that you can read on the internet, but it's set in modern-day, and the premise is that all the myths, conspiracies, etc. that you've ever heard are true, and there are three secret societies trying to take over the world (Illuminati, Dragon, and Templars). There are no levels and no classes, and the quests are hands-down some of the most amazing I've seen in an MMO.

    Anyways, open beta weekends start May 11, and I have a few extra beta keys if anyone wants to try it out. Send me a PM and I'll hook you up.

    Hope to see some of y'all in *SOME* game soon - I miss you guys!

    Please! Screenshots would be cool. Being more familiar with it, and it caught your interests, there are probably screenshots or other details that you can point out to show what's cool about it.

    Squidly - I'll send you the key tonight. That's my last one for now, but I might have access to a few more. You can also obtain beta access by playing The Secret War, which is a somewhat-annoying facebook-based social game. If you reach top rank in that you are guaranteed beta and early access.

    I'll post some of the good gameplay and teaser videos tonight.

    FYI, you guys that I sent keys to - make sure you register them, it looks like the PAX keys are actually giving access to the closed beta as of Tuesday, so you may be able to play in the beta from now until launch. I'm only in the open weekends though, so I won't see y'all.

    Here are a few videos and articles:

    This presentation is an hour long, but is definitely worth a watch if you have the time to kill

    GDC Presentation with some actual combat (NSF kiddos)

    An article explaining skills and the "no level, no class" system
