That’s right, as of Dec. 12, 2012, The Secret World no longer requires a subscription! For only $30 all players get full access to the entire TSW base game, plus Issues #1 through #4, as well as Issue #5 for anyone who registers by Dec. 31, 2012.
We must stress full access. Absolutely everything in the game is available and fully functional to every registered player, no further fees required. Future additional content beyond Issue #5 can be purchased for a small fee in the TSW item store, as well as completely optional cosmetic items, such as clothing and pets, but it is important to note that players will not be charged for “inconvenience removal”. For $30 you get everything required to fully enjoy The Secret World.
We strongly urge all of our friends in AIE to come join us in The Secret World and experience this amazing game for yourselves. We guarantee that many of you will be very pleasantly surprised by what you find!
