For someone without the game & no ability to get it, can someone post the entire plot/synopsis?
I played the first two, but want to know how the story finishes. |

its 300 years later. not much of a real "continuation". its an MMO based during a war between the Sith and the Jedi.
I haven't played in the last month, but i think i'm gonna pick it up again.. mostly because i was just automatically resubbed for 3 months. |

The story starts over 300 years after the first two. There is a TON of back fill of course.. i.e. Taris is still in the destroyed state etc. The story is now about a new galactic war that is in somewhat 'cold war' status. One thing is that each class has a different story that takes them from 1 to 50. They all fit into the over all story line but are each unique.
Some of the recent changes to the game, including pvp changes and new FP/Ops have really improved things also. |

If you cant find a friend code you can wait for their periodic weekend passes. Those are 'free' to try and you can usually download the client late in the week and login for 3 or 4 days over that weekend.

Does anyone here play on Jedi Covenent? I just came back after a 2 month break and started from scratch on that server (my old server is like a ghost town).

Anyone else get the referral speeder today? The thing is bad ass. It's a level 1 speeder with level 3 stats, so we can use it at level 10 if you've unlocked that legacy perk.

Do you know what it was? No, snarkonauts, it wasn't "fun." The game is certainly an acquired taste, but it's nonetheless doing pretty well for itself in terms of word-of-mouth and happy early adopters. No, what was missing was a parade of lengthy launch-week queues (and QQs for that matter). I've been present for every AAA MMO kickoff since Star Wars Galaxies in 2003, and The Secret World marks the first time I've been able to log in when (and where) I wanted to log in on day one. RIFT, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Aion, Lord of the Rings Online –– all of these were "polished" launches by most accounts, and yet all of them featured horrendous launch queues that often stretched from minutes to hours. Why was The Secret World so different? The real answer is something called single-server tech, and it's tech that's worth watching as it makes its way from TSW to Age of Conan and hopefully on to other companies and games across the industry. http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/07/19/chaos-theory-the-secret-worlds-single-server-tech/ BLOG: Single Server Technology in The Secret World It's time for another blog post, where I'd like to focus on some of the awesome things you might not know about The Secret World. This post is the first one in a series of three, and today I'll talk about what it actually means for you, as a player, that The Secret World is based on a single server technology. The next posts will be about GUI modding (yeah, that's right!) and the last one about the mind blowing rendering features we've put into the game. So what does it mean that The Secret World is based on a single server. It boils down to that there are no boundaries between you and anyone else playing the game. You can play with anyone you want! Before we go deeper into details, I'd like to clarify a couple of definitions to make explaining this a bit easier. The Secret World exists on one server, and on that server there are multiple dimensions. One server, many dimensions. That’s important to remember. http://www.thesecretworld.com/news/blog_single_server_technology_in_the_secret_world |

I'm still holding out a faint hope for a X-wing/Tie MMO or a reboot of SWG. The SWG Devs lost sight of the fact that thousands of players logging on and not doing combat was not a bad thing. It was easily the most social MMO I've ever played. I could spend a couple hours at a time visiting player cities and doing city/guild events. If they had only kept the graphics updated rather then adding in crap extra content like that card game. |

Star Trek Online was in worse shape and things have improved notably after F2P. F2P is the future. In economic terms, I think subscription games were mostly a kind of economic rent that early entrants into the market were able to extract. It's like the first oil producers. You got to sell to everyone for a huge profit. Once more people enter the market you have to adjust your prices downwards. Giants like WoW and niche games like EvE will be the only subscription games in the future. |

At least on lower levels. They are missions outside of the story arcs that are usually repeatable. I don't know what the other two are. I'm only a level 31 Smuggler who barely plays (time constraints and no one will group with me, ha). |

And they are where you go to get the endgame armor. Warzones are the PvP playfields. |

There are questlines that ultimatly lead you to a Flashpoint. And on the Empire side the first flashpoint is Black Talon and you really need to do it to progress. Happy if you are at all familiar with WoW Flashpoint = Dungeon Ops= Raid Warzone = Matchmade PVP |

Got to Terror from beyond in story mode tonight. just ran out of time and people had to go....one shotted all the bosses until the TFB. We wernt expecting it to be this easy so we didnt schedule enough time to get all the way through. We were just gonna work on progression.
that last fight was cool with all the little accelerators that shuffle you from platform to platform. Anyone here still playing the game? |
