Is there a free trial for this game?

Not at the moment. But there's a buddy code that let you play for 24 hours, it was awarded to pre-order ppl.
Gave away mine though, sory.

Btw, the patch is live!!

But this is such a fantastic MMO .  According to Xfire its one of the top 3 most played mmorpg ( the other 2 being SWTOR / WOW )  in the market right now.
*
Xfire is not really a good indication on how many ppl plays a game nowadays, but seeing it at no. 3 is good enough.
And Funcom also added a new server!! rclxms.gif

Some update from the man himself:

I liked the game so far .
However  for a game have a vanity and costume cash store , this game is simply too expensive .
I am not whining about it , I am currently still paying for it but it wont be very long until I unsub.
*
You don't have to buy it. There's a costume store in-game you know, in London.

The dev already announced the next chapter for the game btw. Coming this July 31st.

And I love they are planning for the world to keep changing.
QUOTE
Eventually The Secret World will start to change forever. Imagine, instead of discovering more of Sam Krieg’s story, you were to find that he’d been killed off in the latest issue? What an investigation mission that could turn out to be. I expressed concern about latecomers to the game – wouldn’t they then miss out on that character’s missions and dialogue?

Yes they would and, indeed, yes they will. But that’s how a world creates a history for itself, in the conversations about what has been before but is no longer, and in the memories of those players whose experiences can no longer be replicated. The idea of a changing world, which evolves not through procedural wizardry or player action but rather through the guiding hand of a team of writers, goes a long way to explaining both why The Secret World isn’t simply a single player game with an MMO glued onto it and, if the changes are significant and the monthly plan is adhered to, justifying that subscription fee.

I have a question here, how do you download the client? If you need to download through an activated account, do they start calculating the subscription date from the date you enter your key or the first time you login to the game? A 15GB download is going to take days to complete with local internet.
*
Here: https://register.thesecretworld.com/

It'll start calculate once you log into the game.

How this game compare to GW2?

The monthly subscription of 15euro.. ermm.
~I got limited play time.

But if this really a good/innovative MMORPG, i would give it a try.

Just play for a month, it really is different from other mmo.
It actually feels like an RPG.

Wow look like realy nice game ehh.. Well i give it try, maybe next month.. I have questions... How bout the ping? What is the recommended internet connection to play this game? Because i just bought G55VW and do you think it can handle this games?
*
Usual is 250-350ms like any other US hosted mmo. For connection, 1mbps at least is recommended.
Your new laptop seems capable enough to play it, just don't expect to reach a High setting.

Try this guy:

Though I recommend buying it yourself from Origin, it's way cheaper.

The latency can't really see the numbers in the game but on the top right corner of the screen there is an icon looks like a wireless signal bar strength, mine have 2 bars (i think max is 3 bars) and i hardly feel any lag at all, so i would guess the overall ping is somewhere around 200-300ms

There's a mod for that: http://forums.thesecretworld.com/showthread.php?t=45461

guys, something the game just stuck at loading screen, do you guys meet this problem?

Yep. Happen to me quite a few times.
I think it was caused by streamyx lag spike which happen when the game trying to detect us entering a new area.

maybe game bug.

i got near perfect unify connection.

i never fell lag when playing MMORPG (AAA's title)

Doesn't have anything to do with speed really, but more about the efficiency of our country's gateway to the US.

Sure your u/d speed can reach like 500 Kb/s but thanks to the poor quality of our gateway to the US, the data stream itself actually fluctuate alot.

1) Yes.
2) P2P.
3) Not sure if got such videos, but I can assure you most of the video reviews/gameplay I found are from the beta. doh.gif
4) -The setting is basically like this---Something is happening to the world and you (you'll see this in the intro cutscenes). You'll then got invited to join one of the faction--Templars (arrogant prick), Illuminati (a$sholes) & Dragons (anarchist). Then there goes your adventure/story.
-What make the game interesting? The QUESTS (can't state this enough!!), the story (mystery/horror/conspiracy), the Lore (easy to follow coz it's happening in a real world), the characters & the atmosphere.

The graphic is pretty great actually in highest setting.
The game is abit demanding coz of the engine it uses.

Hi, need some clarification from you guys, is the price stated in Origin in singapore dollar or us dollar? In origin website it's stated that the price is in us dollar but it seems that you guys are saying that it's in sing dollar.
*
The store should show SGD price if it detect your IP is malaysia.
Try refresh your browser or just straight register.

Meaning at the end we will learn all the Ability Point?

Yes, if you're doing every quests that is--PVP quests, Lair quests, Lore collecting, etc.
You can max out all 2 weapon skills though (i think) if you're doing all the story/side quests.

Btw, the XP needed to get AP & SP is always the same throughout the game.
So later in the game, you can get like 10 AP everytime you finish a mission.

Dun worry. This game is perfect for solo play, and the missions are varied enough--especially the puzzle mission that at times I find it ridiculously challenging (satellite hacking mission WTF!!!!!!!).

Sure there are quests that require a 5-ppl dungeon run, but there's only one mission for each dungeon as far as i know.
And the benefit of doing dungeons for the most part is pretty much about getting a better gears and weapons.

future updates:

-New weapon sounds coming with patches, sounds modeled to the look of the weapons.
-Custodian (atomatrons in Agartha) investigation mission in upcoming update.
-Combat pets (maybe).
-Stuff like the new interaction menu is a hint to some big change coming in the future (change of control scheme?).
-Draug speaking Islandic.
-The Secret World playable for free for everyone the next weekend! (who created an account once, or may create an account prior to the next weekend)
-There will be events, partys and competitions ingame, basically they try to brake the game wink.gif

Bold are the best news!!

It's free weekend only. I think it's meant for players who'll mostly have their free month over by that time.
