Got a mail today from Funcom, begging me to come back to Age of Conan.
Among the presents offered was this one: Sub for 3 months, and get guaranteed access to the Secret World beta.
I don't care much for AoC, but I may just sub just for the beta.....  :-\

Learn a lesson from STO beta giveaways with CO subs - it wont happen!

im actually playing AOC just to fill the time but am using a timecard and im not subscribing for 3 months just to get in to open beta for TSW.

also it is a usual game company smoke and mirror stunt on the TSW forums it says secure place in the back end of closed beta but on the AOC patcher and some emails ppl have got it says open beta(though my email said closed beta) i wonder which it actually will be.

also i think you have to extend your sub by 3/6/12 months from what you already have unless you re-subbed for 6/12 months on or after 6th of october.

i will take my chances on a beta place to either the test on the TSW official site or a pre-order place if its offered.

p.s
to the guys who were in the AOC guild i cleared out the bank and sold the stuff as when i logged back in after 18 months away we had been transferred from dagon server to crom server all my gold was gone.
although i think most ppl had gone to a different guild just after i stopped playing.

p.p.p.p.p.p.s
it maybe that i gave my gold to the guild when i quit i cant remember :'(

I have a timecard which runs out soon. Haven't really been logged in to AoC though. For five minutes I thought about subbing for three months to get in SW, but then I reminded myself this is FunCom PR department sending the mail. And there are three things certain in this world:
1) You are going to die
2) You will pay your taxes
3) FunCom marketing phukks up everything always, they always "forgets" to include minor detail (like for example, you get into SW beta if the closed beta starts during the 3 month period of your AoC subscription, or something like that).

I'll either get into SW beta the conventional way, or then I won't get into beta. To be honest, I am not too hot for FunCom beta testing after the horror-experiences with AoC testing :(

Next weekend will see some big revelation about Secret World. At least Massively will be reporting that something. Ragnar from FunCom has also confirmed a new video will be released together with this new revelation.

What will this revelation be? Dunno, but at least the TSW team knows how to build hype and tension!

Some new screenshots were found by the forumites. Looks like they will be (part of?) the news supposed to be released this weekend.

zombies be fine, it is a game based on myth and urban legend and zombies are a HUGE part of that, is it new and clever though? definetly not.

An interview which was greatly waited by fans, but which doesn't really reveal that much, was released today:
http://pc.ign.com/articles/107/1072842p1.html

TSW will be a level-less and skill based system (like EVE online is for example), but seems you get experience by doing quests and killing stuff, so essentially it would be just a generic MMO #437586

Meh :(

I fear it will not live up even close to the expectations I've had on the game :(

Idd with you Jarkko, however (and Im on a slow connection so havent watched/read the interview) what if the experience you gain from killing etc you can channel into skills and so on ala EVE, but without passive SP generation.  And hopefully the skill system will be a broad one, however I'll have to find a better connection to deal with the interview.

Well, I think that is the second worst possible scenario really. People with no lives will dominate the game, because as there are no level caps or such, those who have time to grind grind and grind some more will after a couple months be superhumans compared to normal players (not to mention casuals). People who play more will by default have better gear, have more funds, be better in the game (know-how of the game world and system), do they really need an advantage in skills too?

The worst case IMO would be if you get the exp only for the skills you use. If you shoot you get exp for shooting skills, etc. While it is certainly realistic you can only gain more experience in things you do, it just would make it a horrible system in a MMORPG.
