The Secret World - Asgarn - 01-29-2014
Further from this thread:
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=6245
It has become quite clear that, as well as FFXIV, this forum also seems to have quite the interest in another MMO, one I had recently not heard of. The Secret World. As such, I thought it to be a novel idea to create a thread to summarise this interest!
So, put plain and simply, if you have interest in playing The Secret World (http://www.thesecretworld.com/buy/) and would perhaps not like to go in alone, feel free to post it here! And if anyone is already playing, feel free to post which server you're on and you "alliance" (secret society).
Still, just an idea.Â

I've got Melusine, a Dragon (appropriate, no?) on Arcadia. I don't play very much though, mainly because I don't know anyone there >_> I'm a lifer, more's the pity.
RE: The Secret World - Steel Wolf - 01-29-2014
I'll extend my own postings from that thread linked. :3
Character: Jesslyn "Kessie" Fairchylde
Server:Â Arcadia
Society:Â Illuminati
I am also a Lifer, and I am also not acquainted with anyone else who plays TSW, so this thread is immediately relevant to my interest. I miss my shottie hottie. :c
RE: The Secret World - Dogberry - 01-29-2014
Looks interesting. I think I'll check it out. I'm leaning toward the Illuminati.

I'm a Lifer too.
Aijin - Illuminati
Ji-Su - Dragon
Orlaith - Templar
All on Arcadia server!
RE: The Secret World - Maqali Qulaan - 01-29-2014
Oh! I have other characters too but I don't remember their names. I think one was Skysong? But Melusine is the one I remember for sure. OH! And Sibyl, who is my Templar I think?
RE: The Secret World - Steel Wolf - 01-29-2014
It should be noted that my Lumi is currently at QL4 or QL3Â (I think), but if it'll be better/more fun for all involved, I'm willing to re-roll an alt.
I'll just have to keep my mouth shut during the Investigation missions in Kingsmouth. X3
RE: The Secret World - Asgarn - 01-29-2014
Yay, this thread has interest! Yaaaaaay!Â
So far with my character concept...
Name: ??? LaCerta (His first name is on a strictly need to know basis)
Age: ??? (Thought to be in his late twenties to early thirties)
Society: Illuminati
Stuff so far: *Puts on Assassin's Creed profile voice* "LaCerta is somewhat of an anomaly to the other societies and the global data banks as a whole. Possessed of a dry humour, amazing intellect and a killer instinct, it is believed (though not confirmed) that he was behind the assassination of the Templar US senator *Insert random surname here, preferably one of an assassinated US senator*.
Much like his other society members, LaCerta is known to enjoy and throw elegant soirées in any of his five lavish abodes dotted across America. Though, checking through recent surveillance we have on his homes, the man himself always seems to slip out relatively early on in the night. Not one for the public eye, 'ey?
Speaking of surveillance, here's a juicy little number on his combat styling. Trained from the moment the Illuminati picked him up in advanced medicinal techniques, LaCerta usually travels escorted. Whilst the battle rages, he seems to prefer lingering back, numbing his allies pain receptors with all manner of medicinal cocktails. The few times he does join the fray, it seems only to administer a lethal injection he so lovingly named 'Medusa's Tears' or 'Toxin #2177'. Oh! Ew... The less we go in to the effect those have on their victims, the better... Moving on!
Truly a dangerous, brilliant man. Keep an eye out for this one. Taking him out would remove a great asset of the Illuminati."
So yes, LaCerta is more pre-occupied with the power struggle between the three secret societies, rather than the whole rising darkness thing... Not to say he won't play a role in subduing the evil threat, but he won't be seen on the frontlines if he can help it. (Concealing himself in the shadows of the battlefield and healing his allies.)
RE: The Secret World - Whittledown - 01-29-2014
Thread is tempting me to load up TSW again. I have a QL7 Pistols/Elementalism monster Templar named Claiomh-Solais.
To put it in the words of Harvey Keitel she was a "mean mmmmmmm servant of God".
RE: The Secret World - Raeras - 01-29-2014
I...don't even remember what my character is xD, I know she's still quite the low level though. However I wouldn't mind playing it again if others were playing as well ^^
RE: The Secret World - Nako Vesh - 01-29-2014
I play "Lilibird," but I don't get on much. I'm so attached to that character though, I have an IC tumblr for her, here. I have an OOC one here for creepy images that remind me of the game's world, here.
But, man, I have such polarized feelings about that game.
RE: The Secret World - Lost River - 01-29-2014
I -LOVE- the occult and such, it's why I gave Lost River a dark background (within the suitable realm as FFXIV isn't as happy as most think; Thanks Square for the implied rape, enslavement, and such.)
RE: The Secret World - Dogberry - 01-30-2014
I'm big into the occult, too. Like reading Aleister Crowley and John Dee for fun kinda into it. I don't believe in any of it at all, but to me it reads like an RPG setting book without any crunch, and I like that a lot. I read stuff like the Corpus Hermeticum, and whatever biblical apocrypha I can find, too. In fact, my big gripe with much of modern supernatural fiction is that it ignores so much of this material that is out there and so cool, but instead makes up its own stuff that just ends up sounding contrived compared to the "real" thing. Like, if you're going to make a thing about angels and demons, there's a wealth of existing information about them in legitimate resources used by respected theologians that might actually add some gravitas to your story because let's face it even if you don't believe in it the Abrahamic religions have an interesting mythology to them. But no, go ahead and name your angels after norse gods and Herman Mellville protagonists, and make up choirs of angels based on greek mythology. Wow, that kind of became a rant, didn't it?
I'm also a big Lovecraft fan and play Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu, and Cthulhutech quite a bit.
RE: The Secret World - Asgarn - 01-30-2014
Just a little update, I have bought the game! I shall be playing on Arcadia as a member of the Illuminati, as has been seen in previous posts. Just waiting on the download now. I am rather excited!
RE: The Secret World - Nikolai - 01-31-2014
Oh neat. My character also just happens to be on Arcadia: Nikolai "Curios" Petrikov. I don't play too often, but feel free to send a tell if you see me online.
