On 14 November 2019 at 9 AM EST, Secret World Legends' servers went down alongside all other Funcom MMO servers for a period of extended maintenance for the hardware with an estimated downtime of 8 hours.

When the servers came up 5 hours later, sweetlings began to find a honeyed-neat treat!

As a little compensation for today's extended downtime, you should find a couple gifts in your Delivered Items when you log back on. You have 7 days to claim these (once per account!!!!!!)"

- Andy Benditt

All characters in Secret World Legends were gifted compensation with a Cache Key and the Gravity Skates sprint! The Gravity Skates were previously awarded on only one occassion: successful completion of a Limited-Time Challenge event in The Secret World (TSW), making this the first time the Gravity Skates have been awarded in SWL!

These gifts must be claimed within 7 days from /delivereditems if you want them - by 21 November 2019, the offer expires and they'll disappear from /delivereditems!

Despite initial announcements, the Gravity Skates can be claimed on every character on an account!

Check out the Gravity Skates and get ready to become the blue blur! We know you gotta go fast, sweetlings.

Something stirs in the stars. What speaks in space, sweetlings?

Start your journey in the abyss of horror....

The Cyrano Story is a haunting Alternate Reality Game utilizing Google AI and set firmly in the Secret World Universe as a lead up to Moons of Madness. Created by Alice & Smith in collaboration with Funcom, it tells a tale regarding the ship known as The Cyrano through interactive investigation. Alice & Smith were also responsible for some of the previous The Secret World ARGs, such as the 2012 End of Days!

Joshua Doetsch, famed Scrivnomancer who has written for The Secret World and Secret World Legends, chipped in to add his delicious words to the Cyrano Story!

Not only does the Cyrano Story have words that pluck at the mortal minds that enjoy them, but it also has rewards! Every Seal, for a total of 6 Seals, has the chance to give a Steam Key to one of 5 games, some of which are set in the main Secret World universe (The Park and Moons of Madness), and while others are part of an alternate timeline within the Secret World Universe (The Black Watchmen, Nite Team 4, and Ahnayro). The alternate timeline is one where the bomb in Kaidan never went off so Gaia never prepared a new swarm of her Bees in 2012.

These Steam Keys will only be awarded if you log into the Cyrano Story website with your Steam account.

Complete all 6 Seals and you have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a trip for 2 to a Level 9 VIP Tour of the Houston Space Center and lunch with an Astronaut!!! Who doesn't love SPACE?

Begin your descent into madness in the Cyrano Story today!

Feast your eyes upon the Funcom press release for the Cyrano Story!

Samhain is the season for treating! Funcom is hosting TWO contests with fantastic rewards, both ending on October 31st at 11:59 PM EDT! Exclusive to Secret World Legends is an Agent Writing Contest, where you can get your very own Agent into the Agent Network! For all of Funcom's Live games (Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, Secret World Legends, and Conan Exiles), there is a Spooky Screenshot Contest to submit your spookiest shots for a chance at an equally spooky signed poster!

Go out there and contest!

Agent Writing Contest - Secret World Legends

Sweetlings, sweetlings all - only your sweet brainmeats can enter this contest! You have from 10 October 2019 to 11:59 PM EDT, 31 October 2019, to honey-dance a new Agent for the Agent Network!

You ever look at your agents and think, “Man, these people are all great but there’s someone that could really add some OOMF to this roster.”? Oh you have? Well, boy howdy that’s great because we got a contest for you! We want you to tell us all about this agent. What do they do, what do they look like, what secrets do they refuse to tell us?

Write an Agent you want added to Secret World Legends! Be aware that they must be something or somebody that you can see your character or other player characters sending out on missions! This means that in most cases, the Agent should not be your own character!

The Agent must also be something that could conceivably occur within the Secret World, so remember how sweet wisdom flows, for legend and lore must be known!

Agent submissions require a description of the Agent visually, their name, age, profession, species, and the profile flavor text typically found within an Agent Dossier!

1 Grand Prize will be to have your Agent added to Secret World Legends with custom profile art instead of the paperdoll template! In addition the grand prize winner will receive 1 Epic Cache Key and 5 Cache Keys.

3 Runner-Up winners will have their Agent put in the game, but the character will utilize the paperdoll templates of the majority of Agents already in the Agent Network. 5 Cache Keys will be given to each person!

Every single participant in the Agent Writing Contest will receive a unique Andy and Nicole Agent Dossier - and yes, it contains both Community Managers in ONE! Not only that, but every participant will receive the winning Agent Dossiers regardless of whether or not it was their Agent submission that won!

Prepare your dossiers by investigating the Official Agent Writing Contest Thread to see everything you need!

Information on the Agent Network can be found on our comprehensive Agent Network Master Guide!

All Agents added to the game following this contest will be put on TSWDB so everyone can see them!

The Autumnal Equinox looms, and with it come Envoys of Avalon! Avalon's barriers hold strong at the height of the equinox, allowing the Druids of Avalon to safely venture forth from their occluded island. Within Agartha's Hollowed Halls the Envoys search for the aid of any Secret Worlder willing to help prepare the Druids for any possible disaster that might strike.

The Envoys of Avalon will be in Agartha from 20 September 2019 at 10 AM EDT to 5 October 2019 at 9 AM EDT, or from September 20th through October 4th, with the event ending on the early morning of the 5th.

To help the Druids, go to the Seed of Life in the Hollowed Halls of Agartha and speak to representative Fearghas Abernathy (565,190) for his mission, which will require waves of Occult Defence Scenarios be completed.

It is upon us once more, agents! The real-life Autumn Equinox arrives Monday, September 23 - to mark the occasion, the Envoys of Avalon return to Agartha beginning tomorrow, September 20 and shall mingle with Secret Worlders through October 4th. Seek them out in the center of Agartha beginning 9:00 AM EDT and prepare yourself for Occult Defence!

To coincide with the event, Free Scenario Chest Weekends will occur from September 20th - 23rd and September 27th - October 1st! Every scenario Reward Chest will be able to be opened without spending keys!

Not only are the Druids out and about for the equinox encouraging scenarios, but so are sales! During the Envoys of Avalon event, all Druids of Avalon Agent Boosters are 50% off and all Catalysts and Imbuers are 30% off!

The Ninja sprint is also 55% off in honor of the infamous Area 51 raid "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us" which told attendees, "if we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets". Can you believe it?

Let us shed some light on everything the Druids have to offer during this biannual phenomenon with our Envoys of Avalon event guide! Check there for even more in-depth information on what the Envoys of Avalon consists of as well as a basic description of the Occult Defence scenario!

If you haven't done the Occult Defence Scenario since 2018, you may be unaware of what changes and new mechanics have occurred. Our post detailing Update 2.3.1 summarizes what was added!

More information on the Druids of Avalon Agent Booster as well as the Agent Network itself can be found on our Agent Network Master Guide.
