The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
The game will feature an original setting created by Funcom, with contemporary elements as well as "magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors".[6] After announcing the development of The Secret World, Funcom project director Jorgen Tharaldsen informed the press that the game uses the same engine as Age of Conan and "takes place on Earth in the present day".[1] Later, the producer and director Tørnquist debunked more rumors surrounding The Secret World: according to him, "there are no aliens or sci-fi elements" in it.[7] He also denied any connection of TSW to The Longest Journey series and commented that the two screenshots of the game published up to that date[6] are from a prototype version of the game and the graphics "are already looking much, much better".[7]
The first promotional material appeared on May 8, 2007, when a picture has been was "leaked" into the internet, containing a poem, a Knights Templar seal, and several sentences in Spanish, Norwegian, French, German and Hebrew.[8] When solved, the poem led to a series of internet pages, one of them with a riddle, and, eventually, to the newly created official forum.[5]
TLDR: Basically this is one of those present day type things where evil lurks moar in the shadows right under our noses in MMO form.
I'll be interested if it has Lovecraftian elements.
I hope so. I say that about everything, though...

The hero and protagonist, whose story the book follows, is the aptly-named Hiro Protagonist: "Last of the freelance hackers and Greatest sword fighter in the world." When Hiro loses his job as a pizza delivery driver for the Mafia, he meets a streetwise young girl nicknamed Y.T. (short for Yours Truly), who works as a skateboard "Kourier", and they decide to become partners in the intelligence business.

is all i can get from it.
Sounds neat, but I don't want to get into MMOs anymore.
Also, cool concept, but something about paying monthly (so a MMO) makes things explode in my head (yes I don't know why).
edit: I'll post this poster cause I think it looks awesome.
few months old, but yes.
however they're the only screenshots out there.
Definitely. Although it appears more like they grabbed Lara's character model, stuck it into their game and called it a day.
The premise sounds promising.
Try a year. :P
I hate it when game designers don't do their research properly. There's no way those tentacles will even vaguely fit into any of her orifices
