World of Darkness MMO

OMFG!!!111!!R0xx0r5!!!11!BoXX04s!!!Eleven!!!11

Is that Actual gameplay - or at least chargen - footage?

I hope they really do chargen right - Everyone should take a look at Dragon's Prophet - a FTP game in SOE's stable to see what level of customization games are up to now. Sliders for everything: Torso length, legs(length and muscle), forearms (length and muscle), two 'booty' sliders for both males and females, torso 'length' (front to back thickness) and 'width' (shoulder to shoulder), FIVE additional boob sliders for females, foot size, head size - you name it you can customize: sculpt your character exactly the way you want it to be.  

WoDMMO should have all that and more (at least seven boob sliders and four booty sliders) - got to keep pushing the genre forward every chance you get. And loads of cool hairstyles, of course

I'm following EQ Next and Landmark now. Landmark is pretty much going to be the ultimate sandbox as far as I can tell, if even half of what the devs have been saying is true, and isn't just SmokeJumper blowing smoke. I'd pretty given up hope on this game ever materializing. And now new news     Christmas come early  

Very happy if it finally does come to be. Any new word on rulesets or content?   

Don't get your hopes too high, I still have more faith in Antitribu at this point XD

I think it'll be out sooner than most people expect.

Well, after re-reading the content on the WW Wiki for the umpteenth time AND looking at Claudia's (thank you btw Claudia) link, I just realized two things.

They stated that some clans wouldn't be playable due to disciplines being unrecordable for an MMO engine. Their specific example was Temporis, belonging to the True Brujah bloodline.

I find it somewhat hopeful that they mentioned a specific bloodline, because you know what that speaks to me? That they are/were seriously considering adding in bloodlines!

Another is in the picture of the map. It points out specific things like Golden Orchid Fireworks Factory, Phoenix Promenade, Vermillion Bird of the South, Hachiman Shrine, Asian Cultural Museum, and the most blatant being a marking for Dragon Gates. It seems like we'll be meeting our nearest and dearest friends, the Kuei-jinn, once more~

Or, in an even more awesome scenario, since Kindred of the East is an extension of Vampire the Masquerade, Kuei-Jinn will also be playable!

I completly understand if at lauch you only have Camarilla clans avaiable, but I'll be fucking mad if we get Kuei Jin playable before the glorious Tzimisce

Edit: Jad, I don't know the others, I don't think there's any image of their description yet.

Ye! >:U

How about they first make it for the 7 Camarilal clans before you get excited about playing your Ming Zhao ripp-off character.

Is there anyone who got the joke? No one? Really? Oh well.

So they won't be able to do Temporis (awww ) for obvious reasons; but how will they handle Chimerstry?

Well, they could ask Kara the fans to see what uses can be had. Like making a light? Sure. Setting someone on fire? As long as it follows the rules of Horrid Reality.

I do remember reading on Massively.com that WoD online would be free to play and would be using a single server system similar to Eve.

Pray it to be true.

Layoffs at CCP's Atlanta office confirmed: World of Darkness development affected

Rumours began circulating just a few hours ago about layoffs at CCP Games' Atlanta office. It was reported that an unknown number of staff working on the World of Darkness MMO had been unexpectedly laid off right before the Christmas holidays. The originally unconfirmed tipoff came from several posts on Twitter, and GameBreaker later reported that an anonymous source named the layoffs as Level Designers and various other Producers and Designers on World of Darkness.

Massively reached CCP Games for comment and received the official statement below confirming that the layoffs are real and that they are from the World of Darkness team:

"CCP today made strategic adjustments to the staffing on the team working on the World of Darkness project in Atlanta that resulted in the elimination of approximately 15 positions at the company. The change was due to our evaluation of the game's design and ongoing development needs. While this was a difficult decision, CCP remains committed to the franchise and our promise to make a compelling, rich, and deep World of Darkness experience."

Great, now it is gonna go EVEN SLOWER

Yeah they hire and fire and hire again. Wtf.

Idiots.

Let's take a different point of view. They let the designers go, because most of it is done! In other words, WoD MMO is coming out next year!  

I just posted the article...not making a judgment on it yet

I like the phrase "strategic adjustments to staffing". There's something delightfully cynical about it.

Yep. When you translate it form "business" to english it reads: "These ungrateful bastards demanded wages for their work. So we had to fire them."

The political scientist in me agrees

And just for fun lets do it right before Christmas. Hope your kids have a happy holiday.

Since I'm going to be hopping off the ESO train, I'm really hoping CCP stays true to WoD and eventually creates a great game (that's also feasible to play solo) that will be worth the wait.

Did I hear right in that it is going to be free to play?

It's going to suck. Burger applied and they refused

Burger? Oh, and happy birthday   

BurgerMeister made the Clan Quest Mod for VTMB

And Happy Birthday Clauds
