TSW, is no longer a P2P game, Funcom changed the game business model some time ago and is giving away their current content free of a subscription fee. It seems kinda fair that we evaluate the game once more, see what is new in the game and how the game is performing right now. After all, the new B2P model is a big deal.

Synopsis. The game is basically the same thing, level less progression, modern times setting, dark and moody environment and a lot of urban legends. What exactly is new in the game…? This small re-review is about the new additions and the current condition of the game, I will try to keep the old things away, so I am not going to talk about the graphics that much.

In general the game feels more fun because certain features are now here, I can find a group more easily and doing Fusang is more rewarding now. Keep in mind that some little improvements can change a game and TSW is not the exception.

New weapons and the Auxiliary

The only issue was the subscription fee, why pay for a game when you can buy another game that is as good as TSW and doesn't need a subscription fee? I dont really see any reason to pay 15 bucks for a game if there is another mmo around the place that doesnt need a fee, only a single box payment with a small cashshop at its side. (I am looking at you GW2)...

Well, it looks like Funcom made a nice decision, we no longer have to pay a subscription fee to play the game! We can get some sort of VIP membership that will give some benefits like extra XP and a monthly stipend that you can later on use

So I've just came across news that the secret world has gone into a buy to play mode with a cash shop, even though I won't be playing the game I'm actually quite happy about the news and that's only because I personally think that Buy2Play with an optional cash shop is the best way for games to go and I'm hopeing more company's and even current P2P games start to take this route (providing the cash shop isn't some greedy pay to win attempt), generally any game you actually buy would normally have some high production value just like any console game for example and it's generally good for developers as they know they will be getting money which helps production and updates among other things, so without further adieu here's the update from The Secret World web

Thankfully, Guild Wars 2 stands the test of time a little better than he does. Despite what some may think by reading my previous article about GW2, not to mention the chaos it left in the community, I appreciate the game for what it is and think it is a must purchase for any MMO lover. It is a quality title that can stand up against the best pay to play titles, and the one time purchase fee means that you'll have an MMORPG to play even if you can't afford a monthly fee.

I decided to play Guild Wars 2 years

Oh FUNCOM, you NEVER learn from your mistakes do you? First it was Hellgate, then Age Of Conan, now The Secret World.

But what's this? Blaming other companies for YOUR failure? That's not business-like at all!

How many of you are still paying for The Secret World? Certainly not me. Funcom’s development team has now claimed to Eurogamer in an interview that the game will not be going “Free to Play” anytime soon, citing facts like they are not as big companies like ArenaNet to do so. Seriously? I am a believer of working within your limits, there is no point comparing with the “bigwigs” and lamenting about this.

    I took a gander and decided to have a look for myself. Come to find out, TSW is awesome! No levels, play your character how you want, and plenty of Polaris, Hells Rising, Inferno, and DW groups to join up in! I started out making a Templar, Arsuul, and immediately the g

If you search for some information about TSW PvP over the internet, you will see stuff like this...

1... There is no Open World PvP.

2... Only 2 battlefields and 1 Persistent Warzone.

3... People complain about balance.

I have to be honest, they are telling you the true when it comes to Open World PvP and the battlefields. Why in the hell they think that 'No Open World' PvP is bad is beyond me. The last thing I want is to get ganked in the open world all the time, stuck every 5 minutes because a Zerg squad is roaming the playfield. Its even counter productive against the game lore. If the 3

I notice that a lot of people is already cluttering the marketplace in London, unfortunately they are not exactly buying or selling stuff, they are simply doing some serious power trading, without using the chat to buy and sell stuff, its a bit harder to catch someone that is doing this. I know that doing power trading is not exactly against the rules but you still a douche for doing it and causing massive price raise in some items in the game. Just look at the 'Blue Weapon toolkits'!!!!

If you ask me, those toolkits are way too expensive because you need to get the toolkit and the materials, not to mention the glyph toolkit and the runes. I can simp

'Go To' Zhara (the 43 years old bartender) and take the mission.
