The Secret World: The Voice on the Phone: Why Faction Matters

The Voice on the Phone: Why Faction Matters

Much of The Secret World is the same no matter which faction you chose to go with. The open world where nearly all of the game takes place is identical no matter which group you pick. If you're a Dragon you can even team up with an Illuminati and a Templar at the same time. So the question becomes, if most of the game is the same no matter which side you join, does it really matter? I would say that yes, it very much matters and not for the reason you might be thinking.

The 5 Worst MMO Launches

MMO launches are one of the trickiest things in the world for a developer and publisher to orchestrate. In the case of single player games, the experience can be perfectly balanced and simulated in a controlled environment. For standard multiplayer games, you can easily cap the number of players involved and know how it's going to turn out in a live scenario. A Massively Multiplayer Game on the other hand, is something else entirely.
