Arg! Too many acronyms!

Okay, so White Wolf (the World of Darkness company) has merged with a company that makes massively-multiplayer online games for personal computers, called CCP.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Good Points: -White Wolf WoD MMORPG will attract numpty Vampire wannabes from other games so that they no longer skank them up.
-White Wolf's Pen & Paper stuff will be unchanged by the deal, the MMO company will probably leave them to it.
-A WoD MMO is likely to be high quality, as CCP made Eve.

Bad Points - A WoD MMORPG will be skanked up by hordes of numpty Vampire wannabes.
-Given CCP's track record, it will take thirty hours of travelling to get between key locations, then you'll be forced to mine... sorry, feed on rocks... sorry victims for another 30 hours, till you've got enough min.. blood, then a dodgy pirate... uh Sabbat (whatever) will blow up... kill.. your ship... character forcing you to do it all again.
-White Wolf's Pen & Paper stuff will be unchanged by the deal, the MMO company will probably leave them to it.




Costume hippy, live and let live, peace and love for all, man!

You know what would be better than a NWoD MMORPG?

An Exalted MMO game. It comes with a massive world of stunning vistas and hordes of bad things one step over the horizon: its even designed to have a larger-than-life Anime style. Awesome potential in that.

Maybe it would draw off a few angsty teenagers from other mmorpgs... that could only be a good thing.

This would in fact be rather ace. I suggest we kidnap a member of the WW board of directors and force them to do this.

Ok, we need an itinary of the board members movements, a van with blacked out windows, and a large sack.

A few of the WW bigwigs normally attend the Cam's ICC (4 day international event) each year.  Sneaking in cuning disguised as vampire players (with the obfuscate symbol to make everyone ignore you) would probably work.
