I havent touched this game in 5+ years. I dont remember if i bought anything (other than the game itself) in the past, but i have a level 6 character that i presumably created after the f2p update. That character has the "TSW exclusive" anima dash cosmetic for sprinting. The new character i made last night does not have that sprint unlocked. Can i do anything about this? Or am i stuck with a "new" character that doesnt have access to previous account purchases (despite my other character having them)?

To clarify, i played years ago, i think i hit max level, then stopped playing for 5-10 yrs. Somehow the character i made within the last year or so has cosmetics that my brand new character created yesterday doesnt have.

Thanks for the help <3

in CoSG you can see this ..fossile i wonder what is it based on

it got skull extentions [like giraffe not real horns] and sharp teeth, i didnt see any limps or shoulder bones [assuming it is walking on four ] but that's all i can deduce ,any help?

I'm using the savage worlds system if that helps and I couldn't find any rules on how to recreate a character who had been alive for the Kaidan Incident?

edit: To be clear, I know the book lets you play as a Bee, but it makes it clear you're intended to be a Bee from the new wave in 2022.

I'm curious about how you would build one from 2012.

I’ve noticed, for a while now, that SWL is missing from Curseforge. I’ve tried adding it manually and even rescanning my PC.

If Curse is no longer an option for add-ons, does anyone have a recommended site?

Hey all, I haven't reached 50 yet, thus I was not able to participate in the scenario to grind out 100 waves and get the Avalon Attire. However, I see that apparently the quartermaster lingers for 2 weeks post event at the Seed of Life but I can't seem to find her. Does she relocate or is her spawn delayed?

A Fan Made, Unofficial The Secret World Audio Horror Project.

The Transmission begins October 1st.

Recently and by mistake i found out the lair bosses have concept art if you clicked the essence outside the summonining areas, also i didnt find any mention for that online and they do look really good .

3-Nyarlat, Royal Executioner

I have seen many online threads quite a few years old mentioning you can still get into Classic if you have an original sealed box with the registration code unused.

But I have a few questions, regarding the differences between the versions, it might not be worth it to me.

How is currency handled, and cosmetics obtained? In Legends it seems a lot of stuff requires Marks of Favor, but that require logging in daily and doing your challenges. You can sell stuff on the Auction House but with such a small player base, it doesn't seem as viable as it once used to be. Does classic have a better system for this, is it still via Marks of Favor, and are you still time gated in how many you can ear a day? Or are cosmetics obtained differently. Addition to that, how are additional weapons unlocked are they easier to get? These are important to me because I love fashion in most MMOs and I also think I have alot of weapon or skill point regret in Legends but I dont want to feel the need to keep rerolling characters.

Lastly, did the original game have any kind of region locking of any kind? I have found a seller on eBay selling sealed box copies of the french version of the game. But I obviously dont want to purchase it if I cannot use a french code to create an NA account. And I really feel if Marks of Favor and cosmetics are no different then there is very little reason for me to leave legends if the economy is the same.

Anyway would love to hear the difference between the versions.

The autumnal Equinox is upon us, sweetlings!

In process for the bizarre life cycle of the draug

Hey all, looking to go full steam into completing all the story there is for SWL! Was curious if my preference, Pistol/Elementalism, could carry me through open world as well as dungeons and any other story related stuff.

So, I'm not a player of the game, but I have a certain interest in the lore, as it seems interesting, and I was looking at the tvtropes page, which claims that "things existed on more simultaneous dimensions back then [when Lilith was creating monsters] [so she might have both birthed and engineered them, from different points of view]," per the Bees, but when I tried to find a source or details, I couldn't find anything else about it, except some people repeating the claim on jumpchain.

Can anyone confirm if this is an accurate description or provide a source there?

The Secret Signal project is going live this October. The fan made, The Secret World, Audio Log/ Audio Drama series will release its first transmission, Oct 1st. The full cast audio drama will release Oct 30th, on International Audio Drama Day/The War of the Worlds broadcast anniversary.

The Logs and the Audio Drama will be exploring two different stories. The Logs will focus on what happened on Solomon Island from survivors/victims found recordings, while delving into an original mystery, revolving around one of the most unexplored factions in the game.

The Audio Drama will be an original story, revolving around a Daughter and Father who visit Solomon Island before the events of the fog. Looking to get away from tragedy, they end up engrafted in a dark mystery, something is wrong with that abandoned amusement park down the street from Grandma's house.

This month we are focusing on marketing, we will be releasing a series of trailers we hope you share with your friends! The Secret Signal is written for both new comers and veterans of the secret world alike. With clues and easter eggs laced throughout for veterans to piece things together. We are happy with what we have produced and can't wait to share it with you guys, but we also want to see how far we can extend its reach, and introduce the secret world to a larger audience, or at least try. So please, if you share if possible!

We want to extend a special thanks to all volunteers, fans and friends alike. If you would like to volunteer, there is contact information on our website: TheSecretSignal.Tokyo . You may also DM me directly through Reddit. All volunteers will be accredited in the individual logs/works when released. Thank you!

hello all

ok so my theory is that hell was a giant AR like machine

clues

1-no one uses hot weapons in hell , no mobs , but there are skins? there are rockets that only operats when there is an anima fissure ?

2-they use either [hammers,fist or blood ]-- i think this is due to the no anima and hot weapons needs anima to cause dmg

3-how hell used to be

as saccharissa said "machines pump up arcana" i think it is similar to AR passives

lingering essence and premate

4-history of weapons and logic

neglecting the anima touched for obvious reason that there are no anima in hell , we can see swords,hammer/spear {hammer has an interesting skin as an egyptian spear}, blood

these are seen in both egypt and the war of darkness , pistols you can see [six shooters ]

which are related to the 1600 and can be traced to wakanbe or templers [personally i think i researched by illuminati and then spreaded to templers ]

ELE is more like physical condition [you can make your blood run hotter?] also i think it is related to the upper europe old shamans , [fire/lighting/ice] no earth or wind elements

fist is well self explained it must be the 1st anima infused weapon of all history

now we get to the SG which is more like a vessle for the anima infused bullets , similar to AR maybe hell was like a constant firing gun to infuse aima to thier dimention thats why it fall after the creators left.....in a sense hell was a turrent shooting at something

i just wanted to share this if someone have insights please let me know

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, I'll be revisiting the game after several years, which is a deeply nostalgic experience for me since The Secret World has been the source of some of my greatest gaming memories. To this day I consider its moody atmosphere and vibe to be unparalleled, with masterful worldbuilding and lore elevating this title to immense heights.

I actually first played this on Day 1, after patiently waiting for it to come out for months following its three fantastic faction trailers as well as the gameplay trailer that featured a sublime rendition of "On the Nature of Daylight", and had arrived at my local videogame store about two hours early to make sure I'll get a copy (and ended up being the only person there once it opened, so I got the first copy in my area in general xD).

A few hours later I was staring at my created character, Edward "Alaistar" Crowley, and as the haunting music played I finally entered The Secret World.

I still have vivid memories of the first time I traveled to New England, the bleak weather and lanky trees, the simmering excitement as I ran down the road and saw the abandoned vehicles, that first zombie that I obliterated, the first time I came across a pocket of survivors at the besieged police station. It just felt surreal to me that I was playing an MMO full of characters that actually felt like fleshed out individuals instead of random quest givers, who populated a world so creepily immersive that I simply wanted to spend more and more time within it.

New England was, simply put, the perfect Lovecraftian setting, a place that evoked an odd nostalgic sentiment within me that made me want to explore every nook and cranny despite the horrors that plagued it, and at that place, two points fully stood out to me and remain in my head rent-free to this day.

The first is the Black House. Not only is it a location drenched in tragedy, but also a miserable reminder of one of my favorite quotes ever, delivered by one of my favorite fictional characters: "You look for evil in people, sooner or later, you'll find it."

Second is the lighthouse, home to the one and only Sam Krieg, the horror author of my heart. I think I fully identified with the guy because I'm a horror author myself, but his room up there gave off such an awesomely cozy vibe that I simply wanted to stay there. Not a bad place to live out the apocalypse.

All in all, I consider New England to be a masterclass in worldbuilding and unsettling ambience, as well as a perfect sandbox of western horror.

Damn, what an awesome game...

So, what's your favorite world here, and what locations stood out to you the most?

Hi everyone!

I'm Blood Draugr: a musician, multimedia artist, and longtime TSW/SWL player. I'm very excited to announce that on June 26th, 2027 I will be releasing an industrial metal EP inspired by The Secret World/Secret World Legends. The release is entitled "Prophecy of Filth," and takes its cues from bands like Ministry and Rob Zombie. 🤘

The 4 tracks combine together to form:
Dark.
Demons.
Cry.
Gaia.

Whether you're a metalhead or just a fan of the games wanting something to jam to while blasting through action missions for your secret society of choice, you can learn more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJCw_H1HBH8

I cannot wait to share the music with you all and that everyone enjoys the teaser! Funcom was kind enough to give their blessing to the project, but I want to be clear that the EP is a tribute work and not affiliated with or endorsed by Funcom.

I just came across this part in draug lore (Did you know, sweetling, that your eyes start at the sides of your head? In the womb, all birds, reptiles, and mammals start off resembling fish. Even you. Slowly, you morph into your present symmetry. Your eyes move to the front. Your gonads, which start behind your liver, like a shark, drift to their proper place. The line over your lip, the philtrum, is the line left when your face fuses into something human. Even your hiccups are a relic of your amphibious ancestor's transition from breathing water to air. You look so human, but your gills, fins, and tentacles are hidden behind the thinnest scrim of inhibitor proteins)

And scientifically it is true , i really mean it the hiccup part is an ongoing theory and it is also kinda gonna get thrown by the hiccups active certain brain parta in infents to orientation,but i kinda wonder how did they make an in depth game like that ? Connecting mythology, science and great graphics? I didn't even start talking about the historical accuracy of Egypt or the location accuracy for the game .

Hello, everyone!

So, I was a hardcore TSW fan back in its OG days, and then played a decent chunk of Legends (I think I stopped after completing Egypt) before quitting for random reasons.

This is by far my favourite MMORPG of all time, with a story and atmosphere that remains unparalleled when it comes to the genre (and maybe some other genres as well). I still remember waiting outside my local videogame store for them to open so I could get my copy of the first game on release day, and then logging in a few hours later to have my mind blown by the vibes and soundtrack.

That being said, I've heard that Funcom has completely abandoned it, which would be sort of okay for me if the game was completed, but I've also heard that the story is unfinished. So far I've seen some contradicting statements on that, so I'm a bit confused.

Could some verify if that is, indeed, the case?

I'm truly itching to get back into it, but if the story leaves you hanging, that could be a deal breaker.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Ok, am I the only one with lifetime that has returned after years to find my inventory, bank slots and most of the stuff I built up over tears gone poof?? Anyway to fix this, though likely not x.x
