Unfortunatly since my eve account is expired I cannot log in to gather some screenshots for you.   However I'm sure they are out there somewhere, I have also heard they removed it from the test server due to bugs or some junk I dunno.   I'm a bit too busy to find you these screenshots or videos for you.

So now you're saying it isn't on the test server? I myself am unable to find any screenshots of it on sisi and can not find any reviews (guess my head is further up my backside than you suspect!). So please when you have some time to put this silly fool out of his misery send me a PM with the evidence that ambulation is/was on the test server. Or that it even exists!

As for WoD, CCP are doing their best to sell it to as wider audience as possible, which is what they have been doing for EVE for a while. Also I wouldn't believe what was said at the fanfest that they're putting WoD on hold to put more effort into EVE. I mean seriously, what would you tell a hall full of rabid EVE fanbois at a fanfest after they'd flown to Iceland to hear good news?

It’s an unwritten rule that if you want to get an article published in the media you put a bit of ‘women spin’ on it. Making out its better for women, involves them more or some how effects them more and you more likely to get published.

So I don’t believe this is their main demographic, but its certainly one they are playing to.

Oh and hopefully it won’t be like those chick book ‘horror’ titles, Dead And Loving It being an example. :)

General Chat :

Cinderella54: Looking for a nail artists, minimum level level 25, for a remake of "Grape Red Blood Spill" nail polish.

TessyTheSlayeress: Darling, why not try the "Morning Red Sunshine Orange"? It also gives you a +12 cuteness but adds also +2 breast augmentation.

Cinderella54: Oh, but then I need a tailor for a new cup, my "Black Silk Venom Crusher Bra" can only hold one more augmentation point.

Yes, yes, I can fathom it all. 

<aplause> for Longsnout, that made my morning :)

You dont have to belive it if you dont want to, It still is the  truth. WoD wont be coming out anytime soon. Try finding any Resent news about it please? If you do a quick serch you will find that there are no news of the game, or even a mention about it on any game sites  or gaming magazines. 

WHY! you ask because its been canceld for the time being... so stop beating this dead horse.. I gave you the link you can listen to the devs themselfs, telling a room full of people that Islands currant state ( the country is bankrupt for god sake) and the world econamy are the main reasons it will not be done this decade..
 

I think the devs  quote goes something down the lines; that EvE is our core business, we need to refocus our efforts on it, and the studios that had been working on WoD have been pulled back to work on EvE once more...

Why would they lie, most companies try to say that they are on track bla bla bal.. then postponing and delaying the game over and over, here the company said NO we are canceling it for the time being and people are going; No dont belive them, they are working on it in secreat or something. Funny how stuff turns haha..

ps: If thier where even a slight chans of it coming out in the next couple of years dont you think MMORPG would have a sub forum for it. Go under  W..... and have a look thiere are no forums for it on this website, thiere are no big fanbase sites, there arnt even an offical site for it. LOLZ.. old news from 2004 people its 2009 now please try to keep up with the times.. 

I'm still waiting for the MMO aimed at the balding 43 year old man demographic.

It was also noted on a recent Eve Online Podcast I think it was "Podded" that CCP had made this announcement not too long ago in a seperate source.

"Mr Veigar Pétursson says, with more professional males in the 25-35-year-old age range losing their jobs, he has seen the number of subscribers soar since the economic crisis began. CCP Games has been profitable since 2004, but all profits are currently being reinvested in Eve Online and also into creating World of Darkness, a new online subscription game about vampires targeting an 18-25-year-old, female demographic. "

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, how do some of you feel about this who have been anticipating a World of Darkness MMO for so many years like myself?  What sort of conclusions are beginning to swim around in your head?

Personally I think theyre brilliant!  If this works as planned and it draws a female audience, in turn it will obviously draw a male audience in the same age bracket.  Im not sure how fem they plan on making the game, but I would imagine that fashion will probably play a very large role in this MMO.

so what are your thoughts?

A game full of 18-25 year old girls? Wooot I wanna play it ;)

Sure, it might be on hold... but if you go to white-wolf.com (The IP holders for World Of Darkness) the top news story is about CCP... havent read it but was there earlier and just happened to notice.

Food for thought.

Edit - Just read it.  Its bragging about CCPs awards for innovation and its growing number of subscribers to EVE Online... Id bet they are still working together.  Go under World Of Darkness fiction to see article.

OFC they are working together they are THE SAME COMPANY.  CCP+WHITE WOLF merged back in 2006-2007. Most of the rp storyline in EvE are made by white wolf.  White wolf also make the trading card game based on EVE.

Nothing of this changes the fact that they both agreed apone postponing WoD...

Im sorry we wont see  WoD mmo in the near future. Im very happy that they have brought back all thiere attention to EvE.

Fashion and design will play a key role in the game and the group has employed two supposedly well-known Icelandic fashion designers to create virtual "gothic-style" clothing for avatars. The group is hiring 100 more people in the next 12 months – including producers, animators and economists – to create its new virtual world.

... but this sounds fail. So the game will be full of teenager emo-chics who have to slay 20 werwolves to buy new fancy dresses? I hope fancy dresses are not the key point which seperates them from other mmos... otherwise they didn't understand, that it was not the ugly graphics why most females were turned off by mmos.

My name in WoD will be Emoshim, it sounds exciting.

You do realize at the GDC in Europe they are making a large announcement about another MMO.

Now being as we know CCP is making a large MMO announcement and given that we know CCPs "next" MMO was WoD, what do you think the MMO announcement will be in August? My money is on World of Darkness Online.

*smiles*

How mush are you all gona pay me when Im right and you all are wrong?

NO there will not be a WOD mmo coming out anytime soon, trust me

Ps: the Anoucment is about CCP making a consol single player game set in the EvE universe

All the press coverage regarding it says MMO. I am sorry but I will even be so kind as to find the linkies for you. CCP said they will announce a new MMO at the GDC this August.

Also a good deal of my family and friends are WW employees and none of them seem to think it is too far off, now granted they are mostly writers in the tabletop lineups, and one a tabletop book artist, but they are on the other side of a fence we are not.

Alexis

*smiles*

edit- I stand corrected on the announcement front,  the news says "unannounced project in pre pro stages" which I guess my hope filled mind read as MMO announcement. I still stand firm in my belief that is what we will hear about at GDC is WoDO. \

You are right about the fan fair announcement about it being pushed back as well.

Called Aron for some WW insider info (a friend who freelances for WW and owns a comic store so is easy to touch base with) and he seems to think pushed back is a one year thing, The game had originally planned/slated its launch in 2010, he thinks from the vibe at the Geist office, and in the building in general is that it will be at least a year late. So it's original Q3 2010, becomes Q3 2011. But he warns even if he had info he could not tell me anything other than the "vibes" he mentioned.

Edited a second time to seperate two thoughts that should not have been joined via a semi colon.

I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed.

I've been looking forward to a WoD MMO for ages now, especially new age WoD, and when they finally design it they aim it towards young women?

Why can't they just design the game around the WoD lore and setting already laid out by White Wolf - why do they have to twist it up and target a specific gender? Now, the gritty, intense, gloomy world I've come to know and love is going to be littered with fashion designs and girly guilds.

It's one thing to have a 'girl-friendly' MMO. It's another to aim an MMO at girls. This game better be unisex and true to the WoD franchise, or I'll be pissed.

If you guys haven't, play Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. You'll know what I'm talking about.

They said no such thing, get your facts straight. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92305

If you think about it, IT makes no sence that it should be WOD, there has been no secreat that they have planed about making it for well, now what is it 3 years, since 2006 I think it was. So specualtions are running wild, but anoucing hey we will be making WOD would not be a suprise as they have allready been down that road, anoucing that they where goign to make it in 2006. Why do it again??

Its a single player game, for another platform, consol would be my best guess. Anoucing "hey we are gona try and make WOD again" would just be bad marketing... we allready know they wanted to do it. Plus they are trying to bring out walking in stations for EvE this year. And they showed us a sneak teaser of some sort of FPS shooter based on the EvE lore, on the last fanfest. So dont hold your fingers crossed for WoD I dont think it will happen sorry....

Also they have clearly stated that because of the current Econamic situation they are going back to there roots, doing what they are best at = EvE.

Also making an mmo in todays Market is HARD for an independent company, It was way diffrent back at the start of the decade. Now you need zillons of Dollars if you arnt gona Right FAIL at the end of the game name.. and even then you are not safe look at warhammer lolz

I say the best way is to wait untill 2012-14 to start making a New mmo the market just needs to die down a bit, its to Hot right now and to many are involved in it. It will get better in a few years time, when many have quit and we have a new generation that isent destroyed by WoW and its clones.

You typed all that before my edit mate.

I already posted that I stood corrected on both fronts (fan faire announcement by CCP and press covereage of the "new project in pre pro"), and then said my only hope stands in the words of WW employees who really can't tell me anything as they a) aren't in that dept. and b) live under NDAs.

Reposting my edits for you, as you can see I already conceded.

And the UR3 Engine, game for PS3/Xbox360 job posting is really telling that its likely not, but a girl can hope.

Hehe Im fast :) . Now dont get me wrong I think a WoD mmo would be super I just dont think its what we will get :) when they bring out there anouncment. We just have to wait and see that is all
 

I hope the article is true gives me more hope for this game. Who wants WoW vampire style.   Never liked most vampire comp games cause it was just a regular hack n slash with new theme.

Hopefuly drinking blood will be a mini game.  Getting that girl or guy in the alley, away from cops will depend on how you dress and what dialogue options you pick. Hoping to see more puzzles type quests instead of run and kill 20 of these types of monsters now.  And maybe the end game will focus on socializing and chilling in a virtual world with politics and a few dangers here and there.

Isnt that what rpgs are, just a glorified game of house?   A game of house with guns, blood and fangs sounds fun.

My wife plays alot of games and so does her all girl family (her mom and Grandmother had all girls.). I think theres a 100 nancy drew games out there.

There not that bad of games they just dont have combat in em.  Not saying my wife isnt good at combat games but she just like mystery and puzzle games.  Except xmen, Everquest and baulders gate on the PS. For some reason she loves those games. Always has to try on every item we find.

If a vampire's heart doesn't pump, then there's no blood movement, thus the cold "room temperature" skin. Then what do they do when all their hot babes try to get it on with them. Think about it.

I don't get it.

Vampire Viagra of some kind? Ah.... it doesn't make any sense....
