A look at the freeform progression... (reddit) →
One of the things I am most interested in for TSW is the freeform progression utilizing an ability wheel.
There are no classes or levels, you just gain ability points (AP) as you kill things and do quests, spending them however you wish to progress through the 525 unique active and passive abilities.

As anyone around the Massively offices can tell you, I am eagerly-bordering-on-obsessively awaiting the release of Funcom’s latest entry into the MMO market, The Secret World.

During PAX East 2012 this year, I finally had time to sit down and actually get my hands on Funcom’s The Secret World. It wasn’t a long demo time, but what I did play, I immediately loved. Nothing like running around Kingsmouth (perfect New England-esque setting for a Boston convention) shooting things with my rifle and whipping out my chaos magic to make me get really amped up for a horror...
