 		Funcom's The Secret World
Illuminati, Dragon Family, The Templars
This has been a waiting game for a long time. Probably since late 2007. The game is released on June 19 2012, so expect this to start ramping up anytime soon!



Please go here for past recaps: http://crygaia.net/wiki/Alternate_reality_game

Recently... since Feb 14th

1. Go to Funcom.com
2. Press 33 on your keyboard
3. Don't be alarmed
4. A door with what appears to be Rune Symbols appears

As of Feburary 27, this door has begun to pulsate red rays. Now we wait...

 		This has been a long time in the making, it seems. For reference/background, here's the topic from 2009 now in our archives.

 		Fantastic.

Yeah I knew you guys wouldn't have missed the boat on this, but it has been a long stretch, which is now paying off.

Hope to see more hype about this soon Smile

Runes are here:
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/runic.htm

I tried inputting the runes corresponding to the numbers on the video into the wheel thingy on the funcom site, but no luck, Not sure what I did wrong. Seems like it should work.

Blinky light seems to blink 1..2..3, but not sure what that means

 		Would it be helpful to gather all of the TSW threads into a single subforum? If someone wants to get me a list, I can set that up.

Actually, they delayed the launch until July 3, but it's still relatively soon in the grand scheme of things.

Runes are used as keys to display the next puzzle(current one was solved Friday, new one appears sometime Wednesday). Videos we get show us which runes to input to access the puzzle.

Current beginning points for the seals(what they're calling each puzzle) are as follows:

For people who were following the game and/or the social game: www.thesecretworld.com/thesecretwar

An acceptable new starter point for those who haven't been following the game(and how I found out about this site: www.slaughterhouse666.com

Also, as jtraub has stated, release got delayed till July 3, head-start for pre-orders begins on June 29th.

There's also two more open beta weekends happening between now and then. First is June 15-17 and is supposed to be a general weekend that I do believe will allow access to all three factions(our previous two weekends only allowed Templar characters). Final weekend will be the 22-24 and is supposed to focus on the pvp-side of the game.

Right now, any pre-orders get access to the beta weekends, others need to locate a site that's offering keys. Alienware currently has 4k keys for the weekend that can be found: http://www.alienwarearena.com/giveaway/the-secret-world-closed-beta-giveaway/

Felt like sharing.

Just a clarification, the alienware keys are for the *closed* beta which is ongoing and is separate from the open beta weekends. (and run on different client builds of the game, etc)

That was the case a few hours ago, Alienware/Funcom finally fixed the issue around 11am CST. Keys are now only for the beta weekend.
