    Every gamer knows this feeling: You’ve been playing Game X for quite a while now and, while you were having fun with it, for whatever reason the thrill is currently gone. Maybe you’ll get back to the game later--in fact, you most likely will--but for now you’re in a slump. Sure, you could give up gaming for a while, but you’re no quitter.

    Once, free-to-play games were known as low quality Asian grind fests, but the tides have recently changed. Is the free-to-play coming to reign as subscription-based MMOs as we know them fade into obscurity?

Sorry folks. We had 2000 keys and they went very quickly.

I see where you're coming from in a lot of respects. I like that missions, for instance, don't hold my hand and that I actually have to figure things out for myself. The mystery, as you said, is part of what makes The Secret World unique.

But...I just don't feel that leaving out information such as, "Hey, did you know that you could try out abilities in your faction city's training area without permanently spending the AP?" is the sort of thing that should remain mysterious. It's fun to work to figure out missions or how to defeat a difficult boss; it's not fun to work to figure out standard game mechanics.

Thanks for the heads up! Fixed. :)

Please try getting assistance through support.guildwars2.com.

Thanks for your tips and corrections! I've made the changes on Ethec's behalf.
