The most interesting nugget of information to come out of the final Q&A entry is the revelation that The Secret World would feature corpse runs as its death mechanic:
Q3: Hmmm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], here's an interesting one... Many systems of magic make use of traveling to other plains of existence such as the Astral,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ethric and even Elemental Plains (yeah I'm reading the final Deverry cycle from Katharine Kerr). Will this be something that's explored in TSW? And if so, how and why?
Martin: Good question! As a secret worlder, you cannot die, but you can be knocked unconscious, and you have to retrieve your world remains to get back into the action. Lore aside, this is a corpse run. The main reason for doing this is that we don’t want players to feel that they’re doing the same content twice. Let’s say that a player needs to reach the end of a valley, and he’s fighting his way there. If he dies 2/3 in, and rezzes back at the ressurection point, he probably has to fight the respawns. Corpse running lets the player pick up from where they left off,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the corpse run might be dressed in an interesting way.
