The Secret World is reported to be "progressing well", Age of Conan is planning a launch in Korea, the "Rise of the Godslayer" expansion for AoC is on its way, and Funcom recently received a grant to create an extrem...

By Mike Fahey Setting The Scene Combat If you were to take the MMO completely out, those first 20 levels would make an excellent, if somewhat short single-player RPG. That's really the highest praise you can give an MMO. I would buy a single player game that played like this.

I did both single player instance (Tortage night) and multiplayer instance (Tortage day) quests. I didn’t do any PvP minigames having tried them in the stress tests which was enough for me. I liked the idea of the destiny quest and ultimately how well it was executed in single player RPG fash...
