Tornquist stated in the interview, ”We haven’t announced a business model yet… we’re definitely looking at all models. I have to be political about this, I’m not in PR!… But obviously we are going to make this game as successful to everybody as possible, and compare it to the other games out there. So we’re not locked into one model, or we’re not going to be locked into one model specifically. But we’ll talk more about that later on.”
The final decision ultimately lies with Electronic Arts, as The Secret World will be released in conjunction with EA Partners.
The Secret World is a unique MMO in that there is no level progression. Rather, players utilize free-form progression via skills and perks. It is also unusual in that it’s a darkl fantasy that takes place in modern times, with strong H.P. Lovecraft themes.
