During a recent interview, Funcom's Ragnar Tørnquist talked about content for The Secret World. Incredibly, he revealed that the team had seven YEARS of content ready for the game. In today's column, MMORPG.com Lead Writer Bill Murphy ponders that revelation and the benefits/drawbacks to such a statement. Check it out and then let us know what you think!
Just a few weeks back, Ragnar told the folks at Eurogamer that the team already has seven years of content lined up for The Secret World. Part of me wants to leap for joy and say, "hooray steady flow of content!" while the other part of me shakes me head and wonders why they're putting any effort at all into post launch content when they should instead be focusing on the game as it will stand at release. It's an ambitious thing to say, and altogether something different to prove once people are in there and begin eating up all the content you can throw at them. As I've become fond of, let's spend this week's column weighing the pluses and minuses of Ragnar's claim. It's a fun game, and hey it helps me sort out all the random things going on in my brain meat.
