Funcom: The Secret World More Anticipated Than AoC

According to the recent Q3 report from Funcom, gamers have higher expectations for its upcoming MMO The Secret World than they did for the company's other MMO, Age of Conan, at the same stage of development.

New IP is awesome

[Perjoss]

unlesss they have hired some new talent I'm going to have a hard time getting excited about this one. AoC just felt weak and unfinished.

[Fyzzu]

I can back that up. Never gave a damn about AoC, but Tornquist's presence on Secret World excites me, as does... well. Everything. What we know of the mechanics, the setting, the ideas...

[Leord]

I was quite excited about AoC!

[Malfurion]

So were A LOT of other people. It's just a shame that the launch was, kinda, crap.

[Maticus]

I must admit, it does look to be a cracking game. I'm surprised there's more interest in it that AoC though.

[Leord]

AoC was very anticipated, it just wasn't great when released, so didn't hit properly. But if secret World is more anticipated, only good things can come of it!

[Malfurion]

Secret world isn't really my kind of thing.

However...

I might try this one out - it sounds extremely interesting.

[Dorjan]

AoC was anticipated enough, it just failed.

[rtonaey]

cracking potential indeed

[AndyA]

Like the modern setting for Secret World, could be very interesting.

[Maticus]

Yeah a modern setting is much needed in new MMOs.

Never heard of it... Probably because of all the hype surrounding Aion... I dont see any MMO capible of making me hang up my 80 Rogue to start a new character on new game...
