For many the first time they ever heard about The Secret World it was thanks to an ARG. Funcom spent years leading up to TSW with a series of ARGs meant to engage, entertain, and sometimes terrify. After the launch sadly ARGs were all but abandoned, with only two since July of 2012. Now the alternate reality games are getting a bit of a boost. Last week, on the 14th a new ARG started, dealing with Division 66.

These were what got me into being so psyched for TSW to be released....
Then I played it. That fixed it.
thanks for the heads up, OMG I love these ARGs, best thing ever
the End of World thing last year was mind boggling
If you dont want to get strange calls, just simply don't give your number I personally used a disposable mail address for it, and it still was great fun.
Haven't checked Division yet, I was busy last week - I know the whole purpose of it is to soak into the real life, but I rather just keep ARGs as the part of the game and only fiddling with them in my spare time (but I had the luck during the last one to join the chat the right time at one of the puzzles, it was awesome)
TSW ARGs are da bomb. Just the best thing evar.
No worries, you can still enjoy the ARG without that 7 button limit all you need is you browser and your mind.
And a lot of other tools as well... based on the previous ones it's good if you have a picture, a video and a sound editing tool, sometimes Wolfram for math and physics, a good dictionary (but among the players there are usually folks from everywhere so everything gets translated pretty quickly), some coffee, etc.
