Edited by: Jubar on 04/05/2007 19:35:58 I was looking through ccp jobs and came across this:
"CCP|White Wolf is looking for experienced Software Testers for the next World of Darkness MMO to participate in the creation of test plans, test cases, and test procedures to facilitate complete product testing as requested or assigned. "
Maybe I'm not reading it right..
or this is old news..

Why do you think they are launching walking is stations? More then likely they're trying to test out graphic engines. CCP needs another MMO under their belt. It'll increase their income and they'll, maybe, possibly hire some more staff so petitions get answered quicker and we get updates faster.

A MMOG based on the World of Darkness is in the very early stages of development. At the present, we are still in the process of conceptualizing and designing the game.

Okay I was messing. Although spaceships in WoD are not at all out of the question given that insane universe. I think the technocracy has that kind of stuff somewhere. Not to turn this into a WW thread...

I am greatly looking forward to the World of Darkness game. And I personally hope that it will have a dedicated storytelling mode aside the usual MMORPG stuff of questing and grinding. Neverwinter Nights' multiplayer part for example would be a fine thing to, err, creatively get inspired by 
Too bad that, as most game developments go, we will likely have to wait a generous two years for this one to reach even early beta

Its not the new WOD theme, but rather, the new one. I personally won't be spending my shiny penny on the new WOD storyline, as I find it woefully empty when compared to the older storyline that I've grown to enjoy. All and all, I think White Wolf altered the setting and backstory in an attempt to revitalized an overmilked plot, and like all sequels, its very lacking.

I disagree, I think they both have their place in the genre. The original WOD was fast becoming very predictable and rather stale in some areas, most storytellers I know are running a healthy mix of both the Masquerade and the Requiem.
Although having said that the original does have the better overall storyline and will always be more popular as it was the "original concept" and the one many WOD players started with. My friend has only just got into WOD and only plays the Requiem Era and is loving it.
Either way I am looking forward to it massively!

In Vampire the Masquerade the first of the World of Darkness games you could indeed attack other players etc.
However in that game you are all vampires, so generally the reason to do so would be to increase your own generation. (Generation being the number of generations removed from Cain you are). By draining an older Vampire you gain his generation, which means more blood etc.
The game is very story oriented though. I'm curious how CCP will handle it in the future. It was also a dark world, much darker than our current one.
Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts. |

I like the genre too, and it would be another original title from ccp, just like Eve is. There are tons of fantasy games, but for some reason, most companies dont touch other genres with a stick.
Soon Pirates of the Burning Sea will be out, and I predict it will be quite a success, mostly because its about a original genre as well.

Original titles do sell very well, although sometimes they can be a little too niche for their own good. Either way im looking forward to it, it should be a really good game if Eve is anything to go by.

I read the claim from above that there are no spacecraft in the World of Darkness. My retort about the Void Engineers and the Sons of Ether died on my fingertips as I realized with sorrow that this probably no longer exists in the new series.
I shed tears for those who will no experience the wonderful diversity and multiplicity of worlds possible in the original series, as I understand that everything got nerfed to the same power level.
Which probably means no rotes to turn a vampire into a lawn chair.

I just hope they make it an adult game. You think the Eve world is gritty? The World of Darkness takes it to a new level. I want to be able to use profanity and talk about whatever I want to in game without worrying that some pantywaist is going to be "offended". If you must have some form of censorship, have it OPTIONAL - an automatic profanity filter that can be turned on or off client side.
If they make the WoD PG-13, there's not a chance in hell I'll play it. Why there should be a breathalyzer to login to Eve:

Your wish in honors, but unfortunately that isn't easily possible. The rights to BattleTech as a whole are not held by any single company; it goes as far as single mechs and other silly details being the intellectual property of various companies that were involved at some point.
I believe there was already a Mechwarrior online game in production, but the publisher pulled the plug becaue they couldn't get their rights sorted. It might have been EA... so if Mr. I Buy It All can't get it, CCP might have serious trouble.

If White Wolf own the name Vampire the Masquerade I'd go with that, add to that a title to set the online game apart, say The Rising for example. Such a strong brand, if it is indeed that they're finetuning need not be confused with WoW but all the pull they can get to reel in fans of the RPG and the TV-series.

I bloody hate test plans and test cases, and i hate testers even worse. Right off the bat the bloody eejits automatically assume my code is going to break. In all the projects i've ever worked on, only 2.. YES TWO bugs have ever been found at it was due to typos.
Testing is so tedious... suppost thats what happens when people hire crap engineers or the design is flawed. 
(worked with some bad teams before unfortuantly.. sorry for rant)
World of Darkness MMO is gonna be super sweet! Really excited, cant wait to get my hands on it!! :D
And with CCP's now extensive experience over the last 7 years of developing EVE, you can bet your ass they're gonna make the best choices at design time, if they dont, them um... why?  ---

FASA Interactive was the arm that dealt with all their computer games eg Crimson Skies, Mechwarrior, Mechcommander etc. This fell into the hands of Microsoft shortly before/just after FASA went down the toilet, which has lead to very arcady Mechwarrior games rather than the sim-like joy I knew & loved. It's also led to the new Shadowrun game being nothing like Shadowrun at all. 
As for the PnP & tabletop rights these are all in the hands of Wizkids as far as I understand, who consist of some of FASAs original people who left before things went wrong.
A Mechwarrior MMORPG would be cool given the proper treatment but the last I heard was Microsoft had lost interest in developing the brand after not getting the results they wanted from what they released.

What do they expect. Poor results in produce equals poor results 
Hopefully MicroS thinks it's a lost cause, sell the rights to some tiny company in hopes for a quick buck and kick themselves on the butt when that tiny corporation releases a major hit.

In short:
If they use the old storylines and the old factions from WoD I will so snap it up in a second. I have a Son of Ether that I would really like to take to town.
If they use the new rules and the new storylines - that wipe out a third of the (sub)factions, straight-jacket the rules of the survivors, that reduce the origin stories of what's left to syrupy sweetness, and are the direct reason White Wolf went belly up in the first place, I will never touch it and neither will any of the people in my gaming group. -----

Guess you never read the Las Vegas source book? The one that includes some info on area 51? In my last campaign the PC's were assisting a crazy hollow one to cast a multi week ritual (which involved things like harnessing the power of all the letters childen wrote) to bring Santa Claus to life in an attempt to begin a mass awakening of the populace. Shortly after they managed to bring ol' St. Nick into this reality the Hollow One was killed by cyborgs and Santa was shot down by a Void Engineer flying saucer and many cover stories were bandied about.
