During my hands-off demo at the Penny Arcade Expo Saturday and subsequent sit-down with Funcom about their upcoming MMO, The Secret World, the first question that popped into my head was this: How will this game be different from Age of Conan?

Not so much in the sense of gameplay or theme, but I was more concerned with the launch of The Secret World compared to Age of Conan. A brief history lesson is in order: Funcom released Age of Conan last year to stellar sales and fairly decent reviews. Yet, the game is currently floundering because the game suffered from glitches in the main over-world and a lack of high-level content.

The premise is simple enough: what if all those urban legends, conspiracy theories, and folk tales were true? Well, in The Secret World, rest assured, the farfetched dictates reality and three factions rise up to halt mankind's impending doom.
