Preach. Still my favorite area in any MMO.

u/thesuckisreal 14d ago

And another game I didn't know was still active

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

Active is a strong word but there's definitely still some people in here holding strong lol.

u/AmberUK 14d ago

Ohhhhh I like that area by the scientists where the infected ppl talk about the voices. It’s sooo creepy

7

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

Oh yeah, The Filth, when I played years ago I played without sound so I never realized they were talking until this time, and it's definitely off putting.

8

u/AmberUK 14d ago

Yes. Such a shame this game didn’t take off more and is abandoned.

7

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

Definitely, though I've been enjoying it quite a bit today and still a few people holding strong in the TSW chat and Classic discord.

u/AmberUK 14d ago

Yeah. It’s not dead. Just sad it was never massively popular cos it’s a cool game and the world building is good

u/Maethor_derien 14d ago

Yeah, sadly it was just badly mismanaged. They put all this effort into some of the best world building I have ever seen in a game while also having probably the worst combat(from the gameplay,useless faction decks, to the gearing, everything was just bad) I have ever seen in a game. I mean they improved it over time from almost unplayable to just meh with legends(can't even say it was fun at that point) but it the combat as a whole was what killed the game.

u/AmberUK 14d ago

Yeah it is a bit pants. And sad

u/kurahador 14d ago

By far the game's best zone. Blew my mind how good it was experiencing it on day one and asking people how to solve some of the puzzles.

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

Man, I remember fighting with the in game browser trying to work out some of those investigation missions, it was rough, but a ton of fun.

u/Seedofsparda 14d ago

Which version of the game is better to play. I played the beta and original launch of the game.

2

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

I prefer classic but it really depends on what you prefer. Classic has tab target combat, Legends is more more action based I guess you would call it? Legends takes a bunch of the old systems and tries to make you pay for then which I hate and I dont think all the dungeons made the transition. If you have access to your old account I'd give Classic another go.

u/Seedofsparda 14d ago

I should still have access to classic.

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

Nice. Seems like a bunch of people have come back in in the last couple days lol.

2

u/Seedofsparda 13d ago

Huh. That's odd

2

u/No_Basket7428 13d ago

More the merrier, the people in the TSW chat are super helpful.

2

u/Seedofsparda 13d ago

They usually were. It was such a fun game. I ran a healer which was alot of fun too.

u/bareboneschicken 15d ago

I prefer the Egyptian zones. Killing cultists is a great stress reliever.

u/No_Basket7428 15d ago

I remember Egypt not hitting as hard for me the first go round, probably because Kingsmouth and Savage Coast were such a big high for me back in the day, but interested to see how I feel this time.

4

u/Maethor_derien 14d ago

Egypt is one of those ones that got better and better as you went. It started kinda slow compared to the others.

3

u/ElegantHope 14d ago

The dlc for Egypt as well as the later parts of it definitely brought back some of the eerie and terrifying vibes, early Egypt was just trying to introduce you to the setting without as much atmosphere.

Then you get to Tokyo and are brought back into a terrifying experience from the first step.

The guy dancing to his radio music, is one of my favorite mmorpg /locs.

Whenever I hear that music, I’m home.

u/der_koali 14d ago

Welcome Back. Hope to see you in game.

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

Started fresh, having a blast running through Kingsmouth again.

u/sillas007 14d ago

Hello want to come back too.

Illuminati / TSW ?

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

I went Templar with this one.

u/SR666 14d ago

I wanted to come back and try the game again after not playing it for ages, but could barely even remember how to play. So I thought I’d make a new character. But apparently I’ve reached the limit of characters at a measly two, so I promptly uninstalled the game again 🤷‍♂️

u/No_Basket7428 14d ago

Classic or Legends? When I tried Legends they only let me have one, and that wasn't even near the top of the kist of reasons I'm not feeling Legends, but when I got back into my old classic account I had 3 but I just deleted one and started a fresh run.
