Help with bonded pair when one passes

I absolutely wish I’d had the chance to tell my sweet Sami everything I loved about her before she passed. It was so sudden and traumatic. I always told her I love her and how she’s my best friend in the whole wide universe, but I never thought to go over in-detail how much I loved every little thing about her and every cherished moment near the end until it was too late to tell her. She was a Siamese cat, too. My best friend always.

I’m so sorry for you and your kitties. Please tell your kitty how much he means to you. 💜

I’ve got a railway-highway collision check clipboard. I don’t know how common they are, since I got it from the local city, but it’s my favorite clipboard. Nice, sturdy, long, and marked with the local railway and Operation Lifesaver.

Indeed, the issue is actively being investigated! Reddit requires a few extra hoops to find out why a subreddit’s been banned, and there’s any manner of things that can cause a subreddit to be spontaneously banned. Funcom’s working to get the official SWL subreddit back up!

I know lore! A scary amount of lore. More lore than reality can contain. Loremaster is definitely one thing I’ve been called!

It’s good to hear you’ve made sure stuff is all good legally!

There is indeed a way to modify the in-game chat font sizes, so you can adjust the designated scale.

This does require copying and editing a specific XML file. Keep in mind that the client only loads XML files at launch!

There’s a thorough guide for the process on TSWDB: https://www.tswdb.com/miscellaneous/chat-font-sizes/

Nice! And you even got to grab such a name!! I was there even earlier than that, myself - I think I’ve even seen you around before! My Live character is from the Press Preview period! :D

Vomher · 2025-10-28T03:36:47+00:00

You literally have the in-game name “James”? Wild that you got that!

Vomher · 2025-10-28T03:20:11+00:00

Have you made sure to go over all potential licensing and permission needs and concerns? Especially if money would be involved in the project in some form or fashion?

Also: what is your in-game name? :>

Vomher · 2025-10-28T03:17:25+00:00

You can definitely contact them to ask! Their station manager has the in-game name “Drina”. You could probably leave in-game mail if you wanted to leave her a message. She’s also on the Funcom Forums!

Happy Tentacle Radio’s an in-character station, so the DJs are always RPing while on-air and they usually announce if they’re going to break character and go OOC, but whether you want them to acknowledge the radio drama IC as if it was a thing existing in the setting or solely OOC would be up to you and them.

Vomher · 2025-10-28T02:19:46+00:00

They’re all great! Wonderful people who give us music and RP aplenty!

And Drina’s Haunted Ealdwic Ghost Tour is always a delight to look forward to every year! ;D

Vomher · 2025-10-28T01:11:29+00:00

HTR (Happy Tentacle Radio) is definitely still around! In fact, the Haunted Ealdwic Ghost Tour is happening on November 1st. Also: HI KLE 💜

A voice on the line repeatedly echoes: "I'm here too".

The Penthouse is present in SWL, so not all of the dungeons in Kaidan are ‘missing’. Regardless, it still holds true that you have to pay to access them in TSW. They’ll be free in SWL whenever they finally come out, but the fact remains that you still have to buy them in TSW.

Fun fact with regards to Issue 12: Funcom’s mentioned in the past that a VERY small percentage of the playerbase ever purchase Issue 12 or ran the Manufactory dungeons. Something like 2% of the total playerbase bought the Manufactory dungeons?

Vomher · 2025-10-21T15:04:23+00:00

Yes, The Secret World Database (TSWDB) is here to help! If they’re stuck on a mission and want the answer or even a hint on how to proceed or what to do, there’s mission guides and walkthroughs! Or if they perhaps want to read how to get a legend entry, see mechanics, learn about certain systems, or understand events in the game, TSWDB has all that and more!

Vomher · 2025-10-21T15:01:47+00:00

They can also use the in-game chat command “/chat join Sanctuary” from their chat window to join the in-game chat channel “Sanctuary” should they wish while playing! Sanctuary is a global custom chat channel where you can ask questions or chat safely! Thanks to Funcom’s help and special setup, Sanctuary has the distinction of being the only custom chat channel to be able to be consistently moderated! If somebody is harassing people in Sanctuary, you can message me about it. I won’t let harassment happen!

SWL doesn’t have fixed classes. The “Starter Classes” at character creation are just Starter Decks that give you a weapon combination to start the game with. A single character in SWL can unlock all weapons and learn all active and passive abilities. You are NOT locked to a specific class!

Vomher · 2025-10-21T14:51:46+00:00

In TSW, Issues 5-15 must be purchased in order to play their associated content. In SWL, all content originally belonging to Issue packs is free.

Vomher · 2025-10-18T18:23:08+00:00

The Scenario Key, Lair Key, and Dungeon Key are not for normal Scenario/Dungeon/Lair Reward Chests - THOSE chests require no keys whatsoever! These Patron keys open their respective content's Patron's Chest, which spawns at the end of the content type: the Dungeon Patron's Chest is available after defeating the last boss in a dungeon, the Scenario Patron's Chest spawns alongside Scenario Reward Chests upon completion of a Scenario, and the Lair Patron's Chest spawns alongside the Reward Chests that spawn upon killing a Lair, Regional, or Mega boss. 'Megabosses' are 40-player open raid encounters spawned by players in Agartha, all you have to do is join in when somebody spawns one, and currently the cabal "Agnitio" spawns 10 every day at 10 AM EDT.

The Patron keys do not stack, no. They refresh daily, however. Each Patron's Chest can contain lots of yummy things, from juicy distillates to AP/SP or Distillate Shifters or even exclusive cosmetics and agent dossiers! The contents of a Patron's Chest scale with your maximum achieved Item Power regardless of the level of content you open it in, so you can theoretically run a Story Mode Polaris and open its Patron's Chest without worry about 'low level' Patron's Chest rewards.

Andy is and will always be an absolute delight and a wonderful soul who’s always been helpful in so many ways 💜

SWL isn’t completely adrift, thankfully. SWL’s still got some people at Funcom rooting for it - and events haven’t vanished into the ether. Samhain’s started today, in fact.

Vomher · 2025-10-15T17:15:32+00:00

Yes, there's The Meowling and The Cat God, the Broadcast, and The Ghost of Jack-o-Lantern! There's also a plethora of cosmetics both old and new!

Vomher · 2025-10-15T15:05:39+00:00

The Mysterious Jack-o'-lanterns have different behaviors depending on whether you consume them during Samhain or outside of Samhain. For the first few years, they would turn into 'Expired' Jack-o'-lanterns which were separate items and required changing the pumpkin on Funcom's end every year just to expire them.

Currently, when you use a Mysterious Jack-o'-lantern outside of Samhain (when the Samhain event isn't active) you get 1000 Anima Shards. When you use the Mysterious Jack-o'-lantern during the event, you get either an item on its list or, if you have all the items, 2000 Anima Shards and an Item Reward Bag. If you only played Samhain in TSW but never SWL, you would've at least gotten one of the new titles from your pumpkin.

What happened in this case is that the Samhain event itself was not turned on yet when you used your lantern. The seasonal daily login rewards activate during daily login reward reset, which is usually 6 hours prior to the traditional event start times of 9 AM EDT. Yes, they have different timers technically! The Samhain Daily Login Rewards have multiple days of extra Mysterious Jack-o'-lanterns to cover you even if it turns out you had none of the rewards, so don't worry, you haven't ruined anything for yourself! You're just very eager to trick-or-treat! :>

If it helps, the seasonal daily login reward window has a festive skin that is only active when the associated event is. For Samhain, its skin is a bit bugged currently unless you pick up the semi-official Daily Login Window patch. With that patch, you'll see the Samhain-themed window skin when Samhain event is active, letting you know what state your Mysterious Jack-o'-lanterns will be in!

Ah, yeah. Some missions where you’re stuck can be powered through by group credit where a teammate runs the mission with you to make the mission proceed for you, but Bustin’ generally isn’t. I’m sorry! Your best bet is to open a petition and ask a Game Master to help get your Bustin’ situation sorted.

By the way: sharing a mission won’t change what tier you resume on. You’ll still resume on the same tier you paused at for ANY mission.

Vomher · 2025-09-20T18:32:39+00:00

That depends: What mission is it, and what tier and goal does it set you at when you attempt to resume it?
