Funcom, developer of the recent MMO The Secret World, is going through a tumultuous time with a massive restructuring.

Games Industry International confirms the moves by Funcom, which includes "cost reductions through the closure and the consolidation of offices with the goal of creating a stronger unified organization that can take full advantage of the exciting opportunities that face the games industry as it steps into 2013 and beyond," according to the company.

Amidst the bad news, Funcom will keep The Secret World, Age of Conan, and Anarchy Online up and running. In fact, according to some stock notices from the company, The Secret World has seen a massive upswing in activity since it dropped its subscription fee, and sales of the game are up 30 percent.

    That's too bad. I honestly loved the questing in The Secret World, it's just that it never really caught on, and basically died out.

    Tough time for MMOs all around.

    Too bad for them. Didn't seem to have much to do with the Illuminati anyway. It looked like Secret World would've totally discredited conspiracy theorists forever with its giant robots and mutants.

    When I first read, "office closures, restructuring" I thought they were literally closing their offices and changing around rooms and stuff.

    Aw. Yeah, I started playing TSW again casually since the free-to-play. Good times.

    It's an interesting game...I mean, the quests are involving (sometimes brilliant and creative), the locations are creepy as hell, and enemies are pretty cool. Too bad the animation and combat is atrocious, because I liked the idea of an MMO that doesn't lock you into one specific class (you could choose all of 'em if you invest the time). Even with a F2P model, I'm not interested in this game...I mean, Guild Wars 2 is a blast, and come February, I can return to Tera without paying a subscription.
