I understand from friends that this is story focused and can be played solo, and was able to get it cheap from a Russian friend, so I'll be putting some time into it.

  • Since this has three different factions to join, am I able to make multiple characters to do each faction, or is this a single character per profile?
  • Is this grind / cash shop heavy, or can I enjoy it without heavy time / money investments?
  • Do I need to worry about PvP players coming around and killing me while I play, or is that op in / area specific only?
  • Can I make a red head Amazon chick with minimal clothing and extreme proportions, or are character designs more limited?

Yes, I'm one of those people when it comes to create a character content.

You have 3 character slots so you can build one for each faction.
The item store (shop) is largely cosmetic items. It's the extra issues (content) that cost money.
PVP is a seperate area.
Maybe. I like my female characters more realistic.

It's the first MMO I've played. Never could get into the usual medieval fantasy setting that every other one has. It's a fun game but as with any MMO it's a time sink. I played it solo for maybe a solid 5 months but since then I just drop in occasionally for a few days. Now is a good time to play as the halloween events are on. They're always fun.

Thanks for the info. Though I got to start the game myself by the time I go this response, so I found out some myself. No chest cannon Amazons with more leather on their sword hilt than body.

Good to know I won't be dealing with PKers.

No, but you can outfit them with different colors and kinds of bras and the like. You're not limited to some kind of drawn-on underwear that many MMOs have.

It seems that once I create a character, that is all the clothing I have access to. I assume further outfits need to be purchased with real cash?

You can buy shitloads of clothing from ingame merchants in the big hub cities.

You get some currency after a while in game to spend if you wish.

Starting out, stuff looks expensive but money racks up fast as you complete missions or start selling stuff. It's all part of the fun.

This is a game I played extensively when my gaming group was still active in it. You can hit me up on Steam chat anytime, Delta, and I'll answer your questions. )

Such an underrated game, and it seemed to be the only MMO to bring something fresh to the genre. Too bad it never got too much publicity, and it kinda buried itself with the pay to play fee at its start.

I am not really into MMO's but..... this has to be one of the best MMO's I've played!

You can make a separate character for each faction with three character slots, but from what I gather they are broadly similar.
No P2W, all purely cosmetic if I recall.
Think it's a separate zone.
No idea, although managed to make myself look like an Imperial Commissar.

Combat mechanics are a lot more interesting/better than your typical MMO. So is the skill system.
Story is really good and rather well told.
A lot of rather interesting quests, a lot of them require you to read books, solve puzzles etc. Not your typical "kill x of these, collect y of this"

So yeah if you want to try a MMO that is well....... different then The Secret World is really only interesting one out there. Oh and I recommend you set your settings to Directx 9 rather than 10 if you get it. It will run a lot better.
