Of the MMOs coming our way, the one that the most Joystiq staffers seem to be captivated by is Ragnar Tørnquist's The Secret World, and, until now, it's been the one that we've known the least about. But a little more light is finally being shed on the modern-day MMO with its three factions -- Illuminati, Templars and the Dragon -- being unveiled; a mere sampling of the info to come during PAX, apparently.
You can see which of the groups you fit into by taking the quiz here. It's fun, but much more importantly, you'll also be securing yourself a chance at beta access. For you lucky thousands at PAX, Funcom is apparently offering some Secret World-based swag at its booth, so you may want to make that one of your first stops on the show floor today.

Huh, modern? Most MMOs seem to enjoy hanging around medieval times. What a refreshing change of setting.

The premise is killer. Maybe this will be the Deus Ex of MMOs...

This seems pretty cool, took the test and am suited for the Dragon.
The questions were fun, but I was really torn between 2 of them each time. Might take again and see if I get a different group.

This looks awesome, and the globalist conspiracy undertones make it even cooler.

This certainly sounds unique! I've kept a close eye to this title since first hearing about it. Even for me who doesn't like MMO's, this sounds rather interesting.
But again, this is Funcom, can they deliver when they 'failed' with Conan? Hope they doesn't fall into the same trap again.

Took the quiz...strangely I got The IlluminatI!
And I'm really excited/curious about the game. Can't wait to find out more. However if it comes down to this and Final Fantasy I'll face a huge difficult decision. I do not have enough time for TWO MMO's let alone 1 with all the great games coming out this fall for the 360.

The Templar. Awesome. I'll have to keep an eye on this game, maybe it'll be an underground success!
