It’s not active, and I’m not going to be leading teams of NPCs into dungeons or anything; but there are a bunch of missions that need checking out, and I do that by sending out agents who I’ve previously recruited. We’ve been promised a lot of lore, and we’ll get rewards for completing missions, and the suggestion is that this stuff will be become more important in Season 2. Which is supposedly coming real soon now (and not Real Soon Now (TM)). Really, in the last devstream the game developers actually referenced the Real Soon Now (TM) bitter joke we’ve been known to make about Secret World Legends content. I’ll give FunCom points for at least noticing.
My intuition tells me that this will be more or less like the system they introduced in Star Trek Online. I suppose I’ll have to pop online to check it out, though.
