At current Funcom has been fairly solid as I am aware that cabals will not be cross faction. Shadex was originally going to be my Illuminati character as well but Sanctum as a community does fall more in line with the goals and morals of the Templars. We will wait and see what new developments occur between now and launch. We had originally intended a 'dark' mirror guild called Asylum during The Old Republic beta and then that game turned out to be so bad we did not stay. Perhaps something similar can be explored if the need is there. On tha...

I will be filling out the Elemental tree this weekend. Had a lot of fun with shotguns and will most likely be starting with them at launch. Just going to try and see where I can find more support abilities. I will be in Mumble during my play times so please stop by and hang out.

Warning: If you have not seen Avengers wait to read this post. Some comments may give away story. So finally got around to seeing The Avengers. I know, I know, how was I not among the 18 million people that evidently camped out for weeks to see it the first weekend? Funny thing was, the theater was still packed. Even more amusing was the fact that... it really was just an OK film. I mean it was fun, it was full of special effects and heroes. It just wasn't a fantastic film. Now it had fantastic parts. Robert Downey Jr. all but stole the f...

This really helped a lot as I, much like many, have been trained by certain overly done MMO styles to work from quest hub to quest hub and never move on until I am done. TSW works a little differently and this guide does a wonderful job of explaining how one should approach it to ensure the most enjoyable experience possible.

Found a decent crafting guide on the official forums. Good read if you intend to get involved in that aspect of The Secret World. Raithwood's Complete Crafting Guide

First night in the bag... *yawn*. I'll sleep tomorrow.... no I won't. :) A very strong start and I have to say a game tailor made for someone such as myself. Lots of dialogue, story, reading, intrigue, research, the list goes on and on. Now, with that said, I do feel that this game may be a huge splash of cold water in the face to a lot of MMO gamers that have literally grown up on games like WoW. Mashing ESC to get through the story/quest text can leave you completely lost, failing aspects of missions, and unable to provide the necessary inf...

Shadex

I am stilll at work but I will be playing a lot this evening. Feel free to head into the Mumble server if you like as I will be there. I enjoy playing support characters the most so I will be looking at buffs, heals, debuffs, CC, etc.

I will be. I will try to monitor the site as well as the Mumble server as much as possible.

Managed to accumulate enough points in The Secret War Facebook thingamagiggy to attain Agent status. All I really wanted as it gains me the full Templar faction clothing set which, I hope will be similar to the one's we see in our banner here. Nothing says world domination quite like red leather... well maybe not the world part.
