I was toying with the idea logging in to The Secret World today. There’s been a lot of internet chatter about the game of late, mainly due to Funcom’s ongoing woes. I was smitten with a mixture of nostalgia regarding the game, especially the quality of its storytelling. Just for a fraction of a second I felt bad for not having played for a long time and even considered my current liking for other MMOs to be disloyal. However I quickly realised that such thinking is nonsensical and was reminded of the old adage about time being a finite quantity. The fact remains that you cannot play everything you’d like to. However I’m sure I’m not alone in having such thoughts and it got me thinking about the entire subject of MMO loyalty.
