World of Darkness MMORPG

What is currently known:

- Brain storming and early pre-development started early 2006

- This is a joint venture between White Wolf (WW) and CCP since their merger

- No release date has been given except them to say the full dev cycle will be 4-5 years. So the rough estimate is somewhere around 2011 using that statement.

- Expect some ruleset/setting changes between the Pen and Paper (PnP) versions and the MMO version. Will from WW has strongly implied they are not trying to make a mirror image of the PnP version to online or vise versa as they feel doing such won't work on two different mediums.

- They will base part of the game rendering engine on the new avatar rendering portion of EVE Online.

- Most if not all Devs have RPG or/and PnP backgrounds

- Various devs do read the official WW and community run forums for ideas, input from time to time.

- As of early 2008 they had "several" prototypes of the game they are looking at.

- While there is rampant community speculation the devs have given a 'no comment' answer to any specific question such as playable races, setting, game mechanics or the like.

- It is believed the setting will be placed in the Vampire: The Requiem setting/rules as WW has stated many times Vampire: The Masquerade, or Old World of Darkness (OWoD) is dead in their eyes.

- In a Jan 2009 interview about Eve Online CCP stated "After the release of Eve Online’s expansion in March, the company will focus on creating another multi-player game based on the popular World of Darkness fictional universes created by White Wolf." Indicating it will move out of pre-production to full production in March 2009.

- In a CCP public .pdf document that describes its future goals made its way to the web dated July 2008. On page 24 stated the following "CCP is currently working on new projects, the largest of which is World of Darkness, a MMOG that is scheduled to launch 2010."

The original Vampire was great but what about the other genres? Mage and Werewolf were still fairly popular and haven't gotten a single mention.

personally would have loved to see the werewolfs shine but one can hope for expansions that adds other playable races, as for Requiem I don´t have a problem with it, don´t fancy it but hey I suck blood in whatever form.

I completely agree with MrMe. I haven't played Requiem personally, though, because based on everything I've both heard from players and read online and in the rule books, I haven't deemed it worth playing. This MMORPG would be awesome in either the Dark Ages or in the Masquerade, preferably the latter, I think. There are just too many things wrong with Requiem that it's not even worth pirating, let alone actually paying for.

I still hold out some hope that the Devs will come to their senses a

.... and fuck that wet dream in the ass with Santa's reindeer now we have the choice of 5 clans who are pretty much the same fucking thing, with a new clan system thats more like cub scout dens then actual bloodlines, bullshit.

Old World of Darkness may be dead in their eyes, but their new shit is Dead in our eyes, who the fuck ever heard of good looking Nosferatu? It's a fucking joke now, they sold out to the Emo kids who want every god damn vampire to be a fucking 15 year old horny teenager. It might as well be called Twilight the Masquerade at this point.

It was the second most popular roleplaying system in the world, but because the team over there got bored one day they decided to ruin a fucking wet dream and

So far Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines was played by me about 20 times. Again and again with few moths breams when I got bored. I really will miss malks too. It's a shame about their dessicion. But there's still time... Maybe... They would add a new mad clan, or maybe one or two clans from the Vampire The MAsquerade... Still. There is Nosferatu and I am happy. I just hope that by the time they will be posting pictures - I wouldn't get dissapointed by the game.
