The Secret World has a different naming system. You give your characters a nickname, a first name and a last name. When you see other players running around you'll see them under the nickname.
Etienne "Torriki" Martel Torriki= Japanese Engrish for tricky
image one: no hat or glasses
image two: hat and sun glasses
image three: Trickster outfit + hat and sunglasses
image four: army jacket and cargo pants reward by two quests + hat and sunglasses
image five: mummy costume
At the moment he's actually running around in a variation of image three, no hat. Until I decide to put him back in two.
Apparently the three secret orders are not very good at keeping secrets. Seems like everybody he meets knows he's from one of them and that he has magic powers.
Etienne has a pet
eagle and a dog.
I was down to one quest (I think) in the first town but it was to do a dungeon. I was level 18. A higher level player led me through it. I got off a couple shots but he did most of the killing. He would stop and stand by the chests so I would be sure to get rewards. And he gave me a couple items. I used most of them to upgrade my existing weapons and jewelry. Not they're all level 20 and I need fusion objects to upgrade them to blue. After which is purple. Similar color scheme to Guild Wars except blue and green are reversed,
