The Secret World Progression System
Breaks down some of the Ability Wheel stuff seen in the GDC video
There's a huge and expansive breakdown for anyone interested in The Secret World - and man, why aren't you interested in The Secret World - over at MMORPG.com, explaining the freeform progression system in The Secret World.
For the most part, it looks like a weird fusion of the original system from Star Wars Galaxies combined with World of Warcraft. The former is due to the wide array of abilities you can put points into, separated into categories such as Pistols or Blades, and how you gain experience with them based on use. The latter, however, feels like how you can swap specializations to fit your party's needs in World of Warcraft.
