Tell me this is not true. Please, for the love of all the Gods, Demons, Fallen, Werewolves, Changelings, Vampires, Antedeluvians, Wraith, Mummies, and all treatures of WoD that the MMO will not target 18-25 girls.
WoD is supposed to be a dark, inhuman place, not a playground for all those goth wannabees.

Goth girls & rock chics are the best.
But given the number of female avatars in EVE, good luck finding a real one in WOD __________

No denying that, I like them myself, very much, but I dont really think that they could pull of something like VtM:Bloodlines was. And WoD players are predominantly male, as are EVE players, and honestly, I fear that WoD could become seriously toned down abnd fluffied up, seeing as what passes as goth these days.
Man, I am grumpy today.

Same here. I loved it :)
Simple rules, easy to play and easy to GM.
Lots of fun no "rule bikering" like in D&D.

Maybe a wormhole opens up into the star trek universe and we get to shoot klingons or the borg
On further thought into this, i think it would be really sweet if there was a cross over. Capsuleers vs Star trek captains. kinda mute since we have clones Join the brown Coats today!!! |

As this thread is now about WoD, anyone interested in a play-by-mail session in which all characters _must_ have non-humainty etchical paths?

It should clearly open up into the Pegasus galaxy - the Wraith have clones too :)

It's a reasonably good simile to convey to a lay audience the scale of the ships we command. I didn't read it as "the ships look just like" the Enterprise.
Actually, I thought the article was surprisingly good. Necessarily, it hugely simplified the nature of the game, but it described EvE very well to it's intended audience. It's good publicity for CCP too.

Gosh it almost made me think that this is a for profit endeavour that makes each and every decision based on how much coin it will generate for the shareholders regardless of whether you're a carebear or a pirate. Geee what were the odds?

Quote: While Mr Veigar PTtursson, the company's former chief technology officer, was instrumental in creating the game, he does not get time to play it. "Being chief executive of a virtual company on Eve Online is a full-time job. I can't find the time to do both,"
I find this fact very disturbing...should I?

They look great, but your life will turn hell (and not in a good way). - I'd tell you why but then I'll have to kill you. And to kill you I'd have to log in. And to log in I'd have to stop browsing these forums. Both you and me knows that'll never happen. |
