I purposely didn't highlight WoW so as to focus some love on perhaps some forgotten gems that newer players wouldn't realize had an impact upon MMOs today. I think WoW is an extremely solid game and you can't argue with its success. Honestly, the more MMOs there are, the better the gaming world we're living in is. I just wish that someone would create a Wild West MMO. I want to have showdowns at high noon!

People make some good points. I'm not saying that TSW is the best game ever, but it is one I am thoroughly enjoying and have been. I do agree with Ellipsys on clothing and the cash shop. I absolutely hate having a cash shop in a game where I pay a subscription for. Those items should be attainable through gameplay. As for multislot items, I agree again with Ellipsys. It would be great to break outfits down into their separate components.

I don't want a respec in TSW, but I do agree that a quick tutorial would help players new to the game immensely. I love how I can eventually learn everything in the game if I put in the time but only have access to a few abilities at a time (7 active, 7 passive). While there are some issues with the game (chat, not being able to go to a new instance by yourself if a quest is broken in yours, etc.), The Secret World is the best MMO I've played in years. Will it hold once I get towards the end? I don't know, but right now my addiction is strong and I applaud Funcom for not following the typical MMO mold. I think the game is kind of a throwback to early computer games that were skill based and more open. Anyhoo, that's my two cents. No respec! :)

Hopefully, we can actually be together on the same server on the next beta. I really do think that GW2 is going to be the next big thing and will lead to changes in the industry. I can't wait. And yes, sword rangers are awesome!

Ahh...green rolling hills. I can't wait for the expansion to drop.
