    Head over to Rock Paper Shotgun for a report on Secret Worlds from the GDC.

    A few things caught my eye:

    No leveling in the traditional sense of the term.

    Three (!!!!!) factions.

    Investigation Quests that incorporate Google maps and other resources OUTSIDE the game.

    Some nifty ideas for sure.

    im a big fan of a leveling skill that increases as you use it.. just like ultima online and the elder scrolls games.

    If thats the case don't trust anything made by any developer because they all make mistakes. Some a lot worst than Funcoms fiasco.

    I kind of have the same stance.

    Don't we, or didn't we - have a Secret World sub-forum?

    I don't like when funcom, goes all we will do this and that and them they cant deliver.

    If the game is good im gona buy it and be a Dragon.

    but still, i think they have talented team capable of doing grate games. AoC was a good game, with some innovating ideas, to bad they rushed it. And for some reason they have a history of revamping their sistems and ideas for Games, Anarchy online.

    And Guild Wars 2 will be better than TOR, TERA, and any other MMO out there!

    Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's right. For example, WoW. Yeah, I went there.
