The Secret World

The Secret World (formerly known under the working titles Cabal and The World Online) is an upcoming MMORPG from developer Funcom (makers of Anarchy Online and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures), whose development has been officially confirmed on March 6, 2007. The final title of the project was confirmed on May 11, 2007.

The game will feature an original setting created by Funcom, with contemporary elements as well as "magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors." Contrary to rumors spawned by the game's second working title, it has nothing to do with, nor is it inspired by, the .hack franchise and its setting. Tørnquist debunked several rumors surrounding The Secret World, stating that "there are no aliens or sci-fi elements" in it. He also denied any connection of TSW to The Longest Journey.

At GDC 2009, Tørnquist revealed more about the setting and the story. He stressed that the game is set in the "modern day real world" but also incorporates pieces of ancient mythologies, real and false history, urban legends, and pop culture, and ties them into an original back-story. The latter is said to go back in time for 100 million years and encompass long extinct ancient civilizations. The players will assume the roles of supernatural heroes who participate in a "future war between good and evil", fighting dark monsters that threaten the modern world. Tørnquist identified the genre of the story as dark fantasy, mentioning vampires, demons, and zombies. The players will be free to travel across different locations of the world (both real, like London, New York and Seoul, and mythical, e.g. Agartha, the legendary city located within Hollow Earth) and even in time, to pursue the overall plot and investigate new mysteries in connection to the dark invasion. The overall plot will have a conclusion but the designers also leave room for future expansions.

Issue 4 Reveals "Reticule combat" - (Yes thats FPS combat)

13. Oktober 2012 - Nith | 0 Kommentare

"I am also happy to reveal that Issue #4 will be introducing one of the most requested features during Beta: reticule combat. This is something I wanted to bring into the game from the moment I put on the Game Director shoes as I feel it makes combat a lot more direct and exciting. We are not forcing it upon anyone, though. You will be able to freely switch between traditional targeting and the reticule depending on what you feel is best for you."

"Do many people still play" - dungeons and pvp are popping more or less frequent, so i wouldnt worry about that
"Last time I logged in the zones were pretty empty" - that was done by devs on purpose, the soft cap on shard for zone is 10-15 people or so
Is end game content any good? - Depends on what you are expecting from it, really. There are 8 "classic" dungeons in two (5 earliest in three) difficulties. 2 and half newer dungeons, but they require higher group coordination and a bit higher gear. 3 raids.
And for more info i'd recommend to go on forum, which i've linked just below your post, as there will be much more people able to give a bit more detailed info as i'm not playing actively right now.
Ah and another thing. If you'll try to play, then i'd recommend to join to chat channel sanctuary (type /chat join sanctuary ingame) as there are lots of helpful people
