I first became aware of this game a couple weeks ago and have been watching and waiting news. I signed up for the beta and have heard noting back.

No Classes or Levels
Experience a game that has no classes or levels. Truly freeform character customization allows you to create the alter-ego that you want to play. Choose from hundreds of different powers for your character without ever having to re-roll, completely eliminating the need to follow a set path of progression throughout the game. Choose the powers, the weapons and the clothing that you want to use.

Fight in Legendary Locations
You will progress through your secret society's hiarchy and unlock new powers, uniforms, and weapons as you unravel their mysteries and their secrets. You will also fight for your side in the player vs. player conflict, fighting to control legendary locations such as Stonehenge, El Dorado and Shambala. Players will also enter persistent war zones where large-scale battles takes place involving over a hundred players at the same time.

Exciting, Overarching Storyline
The Secret World brings MMO storytelling to a whole new level by putting you and your friends smack in the middle of an exciting, overarching storyline filled with memorable characters and unique missions never before seen in a game of its kind. Experience missions with a purpose, many of which go beyond the grind quests traditionally seen in massively multiplayer online games.

Dress Up Anyway You Want
The Secret World provides you with hundreds of different options for your character, from different weapons and clothing, to a vast set of different powers. As there are no classes or levels, there are no restrictions as to what to wear. You can pick up new pieces of clothing through missions or battle, or you can visit the shops in London, New York or Seoul and dress up your character any way you like.

Wield Magic and Firearms
The powerful progression system allows you to pick and choose whatever powers you want, never restricted by class setups. You can acquire powers within anything from firearms to destructive magic, mix and match anything, or choose to specialize in a certain direction. Regardless of your choices, you will never be at a disadvantage and you can always play together with anyone you want to.

I'm gonna be all over this one but I have a bad history with getting into betas and then just not doing anything. The only Beta I got hardcore into was Mythos and well... that never saw the light. Which sucks, it was a nice game.
