The short answer would be yes as SWL isn't on Steam yet. This is the official steam page which as of yet has no download link http://store.steampowered.com/app/215280/Secret_World_Legends/Ridelynn said:This may be stupid, but am I still playing The Secret World, while my wife is playing Secret World Legends? The game play on both our clients is identical, it's just a few UI differences that exist between the two clients. If I log into her client, none of my characters are there.

So I own the game via Steam, if it makes any difference. Steam says I'm running SWL now, and the gameplay is identical to what my wife sees, who downloaded the game directly from Funcom. I have the in game store that says SWL. The Character Creators are different, I still have the Skill Wheel interface, a few other minor differences.
So I tried "Repair Broken Data' and "Full Client Bundle" via the launcher. I did get another ~385MB patch from doing that.

Thanks @Scarran, I think that's probably what's going on. I'm copying the SWL client from Wife's computer and will see what happens with that.
