Honestly, half of the time I just do them for the hate mail.
Anyhoo, as some of you may have guessed I am playing The Secret World now. For those who don’t know, it’s a MMORPG with a horror/conspiracy flavor to it, with puzzles that stopped being ‘clever’ and ‘erudite’ and are now just flat-out ‘insanely esoteric.’ Free to play: so, yup, you guessed it, those never are. Trying to navigate their special membership billing situation so that I can have a monthly membership (giving me extra special access) while not putting new dresses for my dollies stuff from the item store on the house credit card is sufficiently baroque* that I’m just going to throw my hands up and save up to buy a yearly membership. It’s about a hundred and ten bucks; the tip jar is below.
I ain’t going to do this for more than a few days; a week, at most. Even for me, this is a silly one.

*Turns out credit card fraud for these things can be widespread. Gee. Go figure.
I assume you’re enjoying the game, then? 😉 So which are you, Templar or Illuminati? I rather doubt you’re Dragon.
I started playing back in December of 2012 and enjoyed the atmosphere, but by the time I’d completed the New England zones and moved to Egypt the grind was a bit much for me. Of course, part of that might have been that I never found a group to join and so I ended up soloing more often than not.
I think what bothered me the most about the game was that even though you could choose between 3 different secret societies, by and large you all got the same missions and nothing ever changed. I guess I expected more “secret war” than “secret world”, where players would go on missions against the other societies and those missions would change the strength of those factions.
In short, I was looking for an Unknown Armies MMO.
Playing Illuminati, of course.
