Id like to believe you.
But this sh!t has been going on for over 20 years now(longer if you start looking at tiny subsets) I really dobt its going to just stop.
but its only mainstream because of the twilight movies, and that has almost run its course.
sure there will always be emo kids wanting to play dress up, but honestly you would have a bigger playerbase if you developed a math mmo

Thats as silly as saying 10 years ago that space stuff is only popular because of Star Wars movies.
This gothic vampire crap has been here for years and isnt going away. The flavor may change slightly but its basically the same.

we're talking market share, not longevity.
while space sci-fy may not be entirely due to Star Wars, you can bet the farm that the movies caused a jump in related arts like fan-fiction and spin offs, which die off pretty quickly (not completely die, but die in term of marketability to a large segment)
same with the vampire/occult thing, sure its been around forever, but nobody got rich off of it until twilight and all I'm saying is that iron is cooling off pretty quickly and the vampire fan population will crawl back into their holes and it will be back to the silly closeted thing it once was.
however that said I fail altogether for not realizing that WoD is an existing product (how could I have missed that one?... well easy, I don't play that crap)

I used to play a vampire MOO back in the 90s, it ran out of some UK university net and did have a fair amount of players.
I guess if you lump em all together there is a good number of the emos goths and vampire gurls out there, guess I never considered marketing to them as a group.
so would some douche who dresses up in black robes and buys gothic swag on ebay or the local swap meet, pay to do the same thing virtually?
and it so, could you build a game directed at Juggilos?
