In spite of recent layoffs, Funcom seems to be moving forward steadily with The Secret World, offering a peek into the secret societies and a chance at the beta. The official site invites you to take the test to win beta access, and offers up a quiz asking "Which secret society do you belong to?"
The quiz is brief, a fun diversion that serves to give an overview of the three secret societies in The Secret World: the Illuminati (described as the notorious bad boys and girls of The Secret World), Templars (Crusaders, judges, the holy terror), and Dragon (manipulators and conspirators). Taking the quiz and giving your email address nets you an initiate kit, an invitation to join the forums, and a shot at a beta key.
So if you are looking forward to this upcoming game, rest assured that it seems to be delayed, but not dead.

I remember the email funcom sent me for this a while back said it would enter me in a chance to win access to the beta.

I am extremely anxious to see how this game turns out. The pre-beta teasers are excellent. I love everything I've read about the game so far.

I was excited, but the quiz doesn't really give me much desire to play the factions. Too generically mcgeneric in description, even to the names. Whoa, templars, illuminati, and dragon, real creative.

So... being based on real-world organizations in a game that's -about- real-world organizations handling things in the real world makes them generic? Huh.. Okay then.

yes, because both the illuminati and templars have been done to death in fiction, and naming your third faction "the dragon" really isn't doing much. Its like having Area 51 in your game, having an ice level, or throwing in zombies. Yeah, if you are creative you can take a shopworn concept and rework it-that's really what left 4 dead did-but that quiz didn't really inspire that in me.
