Hi there - has anyone given The Secret World a go from NZ yet?  I tried AoC when it came out and the lag was awful - made it pretty much unplayable. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried the new Funcom MMO and whether the lag / performance from here is any better.
Thanks!

Hi,

I've played it since closed beta, and I can honestly say it is 100% - in fact it seems to be one of the least latency dependent MMO's I've ever played.

For example their persistent world PVP (75vs75vs75) = 225 people in on area - It runs smooth as butter.

The only thing I would say is that if you want a good experience, make sure your PC is up to it.

For example I run:
I5 - 2500k overclocked to 4ghz
nVidia gtx 560 Ti superclocked
8 gigs ram
and Windows 7 64 bit (64 bit is almost a must for this game)

This allows me to run between 50-60 FPS on ultra settings.

Also, just for the record, this game is truly amazing. Finally a game that has broken the traditional MMO mould. No classes, no levels and not grindy at all...

Only 50-60fps on a system with that spec? That's a pretty demanding game!

Is the benefit of 64bit mostly so the game can get at >3GB RAM?




"You are" = "You're" - Not "Your".  "They are" = "They're" - Not "Their" or "There".  You probably mean "lose" not "loose".  There's no such word as "Alot".

He did say on Ultra Quality..

Some games need SLI 580's to run in Ultra, so compared to that it's not really that demanding.
