Happy happy birthday! Welcome to the terrible twos, The Secret World!

Not that I think it will be terrible; quite the opposite in fact. You are the game that has brought something so fresh to the table — with your amazing storylines, your deep and memorable characters, and your willingness to allow gameplay to focus on brains instead of just brawn — that I am looking forward to another suspense- and fun-filled year with you.

On this, your special anniversary I just want to say thanks for being one of my all-time favorite games. Ever. I will unabashedly proclaim that TSW is awesome from all the rooftops. If any readers don’t know what all my fuss is about, do yourself a favor and get the game. I’ll see you there!

With your immersive virtual world filled with vibrant player characters who did everything from run shops to run criminal organizations, you are the game that drew me into MMORPGs hook, line, and sinker. And I’ve stayed all these years! Many a game has failed to live up to the standards you set, but I’ll never stop looking, and I’ll never give up hope.

Here’s to that galaxy that is forever far, far away. Cheers!
