    I played a bunch of Secret World last year and then got out of it. Recently, I got back into it again and created a new character. I'm already in the second area (Savage Coast) and I'm playing with my girlfriend from time to time. But she can't always play when I can and I found it's less fun to play alone (also earn AP less quickly that way).

    Are any of you still playing this game? I'm not opposed to grouping up. Warning though: I'm not great at the game and I don't really fulfill a specific role. Just playing for fun. Not to tackle difficult dungeons or anything like that.

    I still play it everyone once in awhile, but normally only in random spurts. It has actually been a few months since I booted it up. It is a really neat mmo in many ways.

    It is. The third area (Sun something) is the farthest I've ever come in that game. My only complaint with the game is that you acquire the abilities you want way too fast. There isn't much more to gain after that in terms of character building. Which is too bad because that's the part I like the most about MMO's.

    I'm actually about to finally start playing this one after being severely disappointed with Wildstar. Talked a couple of guys at work into it to (Thanks Steam Sale!). If there are still Duders around on there let me know.

    I'm kind of playing this again. I'm pretty much playing a good amount of MMOs (free to plays and buy to plays) right now, so I'm juggling them all at the moment. I think my character is Senra insaneshadow Yin.

    *I know this is an old thread, but it seems relevant since the game went on steam sale last week"

    I just picked this up and I am enjoying it quite a bit. It works extremely well with a steam controller but it has issues with FPS and big picture mode(if using touch menu's). Combat seems fine so far but the animations definitely could be improved. I don't really like the linear tech tree for weapon abilities and wish i could kinda mix and match things instead of having to unlock everything to get to what i want. Story and voice acting are great and the settings is definitely unique. My only issue so far is the performance on my gtx 980, you'd think i'd be able to get 60fps but that aint happening (could be due to steam controller/overlay).

    That said i'm not a big mmo guy, i've dabbled in some smaller ones like Warframe(if that counts), defiance on 360, a little bit of swtor etc. So I can't really comment on how the systems relate to other MMO's, i do feel like (at least so far) this is a good game to solo.

    Yeah this is me too. The setting of the game is really great and a lot of the puzzle quests are actual puzzles instead of just clicking on dudes and ignoring what they say. However I just can't play MMOs without people I know personally so I gave it up. If you don't care about that I would definitely recommend at least giving it a try.

    Whoa people actually posted.

    @kubqo The server stuff doesn't really matter unless you're really into pvp. You can just click on someone's name, hit "meet up" and be taken to their dimension (TSW's term for server shards). Could even have guild members from different dimensions afaik.

    @kubqo: I actually don't know if there are any location based shards; I just know that one of them is primarily german speaking, one is primarily french speaking and one is for role playing.
