Hey guys, after all that Diablo 3 fiasco (really, really stupid game, broken core, items, drop system etc) I was looking for something cool and brand new to play with.

I stumbled upon The Secret World (coming out very soon, sometime in July I think) – MMORPG from developer Funcom (makers of Anarchy Online and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures). The game will feature an original setting, with contemporary elements as well as magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors. There are no aliens or sci-fi elements in it.

So… I decided to ask a few question to the game’s support crew.

I’ve basically asked what we all want to know: is it coming to Steam and what are the prices (if any) for the monthly subscription fee (there’s no info on Origin or the net, at least I didn’t find it).

Here’s what they sent me:

So basically I replied with:

I know I know, there is VAT in Europe but look at UK pricing, what the fuck?

I will post if I get anything from them.

Update:

Apparently they changed the UK pricing after all (it’s £11.49 which is $17.94 now according to Google – still overpriced…):
