The Secret World - City of Heroes Forums

The Secret World is Funcom's next MM... wait, where are you going? Oh, the Funcom thing. Right.

Anyway, it's a dark modern / horror MMO that is finally starting to pick up speed. You have to answer secret questions to (what looks like) get into the beta, or at least get a beta code.

Now, you can watch the video and then try to find the website then research the answers... or you can shortcut it.

Spoiler!

No guarantees, but it looks to be one of the more interesting MMOs coming out. Eventually. Perhaps.

I think I remember this from a few years ago. I, and a lot of us, were quite honestly interested and I went through a few puzzles until it slowed down and we stopped really getting info. Good to see its still around, may have to look back into it.

I know I also started one somewhere on these boards, but darned if I can find it in a quick search (I am at work

).

I'll need to look into this; mayhaps Funcom can redeem itself with this...or not. Time will tell.

I wonder if they will as big of the asses they were when they handed out Beta keys in Age of Conan?

Make sure you sign up for this now. It looks like they are handing out beta keys if you complete the questions.

Signed up. Hopefully Funcom remains solvent! I wonder when Cryptic is going to reveal their horror game beyond vague concept art.

Sebastian Kain · 04-08-2009, 05:50 PM

Signed up.

In like swim wear.

Signed up. They continue doing a good job keeping all contact with interested gamers very RP

I'd rather not have to complete stupidly hard questions to be allowed to sign up, and still only have a slim chance of getting into beta.

I already signed up (when I posted on this thread), but this has been bothering me since the game was first Virally marketed on the Net. Not the , "getting into Beta" part, but the fact much of the game could be solving puzzles. I don't mind using my head, I'd like to think I have some smarts, but these kinda puzzles could potentially take me awhile to solve. Mind you, I could either wait for solutions to be posted or do some web searches myself, but this potential aspect of game play could be a bit "off-putting" if it is overdone.

And there is a danger, while a certain type of player could be attracted to this (Cool points given) the majority could decide to go back to WoW (profit lost for FunCom).
