If 14GB prompted such and outcry and SWToR is on your list of games to get, better make sure you get the DVD.

The latest news is that there will supposedly be "something big" revealed at the Grand Masquerade in September this year, other than that there is not a lot of concrete information.  For a localized site containing most of what is publically known, check out-

wodnews.net

The wiki there has much of the info that has been released and unofficially someone associated with CCP is a registered member, so though that doesn't necessarily mean they care to share with us they are aware of us and will hopefully see anything you want to say about the game. 

I can't think of anything I would like better.  I mean, it's a lot of fun when you're out with friends at a club or bar or where ever and some guy just won't get a clue and go away in RL, but the chance to have virtual strangers show up at my door because one time I was polite to them in game would just be swell.  That wouldn't be dangerous at all.  Moron.

There is a growing community at-

http://wodnews.net/

Many of these questions have some answers there, although there is very little that anyone official can officially say.  Among the few things that are known is that the earliest release date would be in 2012 and at the above site you can find a link to the Incarna system that is going to be used for avatars in EvE and eventually WoD.  Mostly right now it's all speculating and wish lists, but entertaining for V:tM and WoD fans :)

I would very much like a key for this game too!  Thanks in advance!

If there are any left, I would love to have one!

I don't know that this would spell doom for CCP, but if Dust failed that wouldn't surprise me at all.  It seems counter-productive to make a game that ties in to Eve but make it console only.  But I guess as long as they do a great job on WoD I don't really care .

Hello :)

I would like to give this game a try, if there are any keys left I would appreciate getting one.  Please PM or PM an email request if you prefer that route.  Hopefully see you in game :)

Can anyone provide a link for this? 

So... is the site down for good or is it coming back? :)

Does anyone else who has read this far find it strange how johnmatthias is essentially telling abentwookie to shut up because it's just a game, yet he feels it's ok to keep flaming someone for something that's just a post?  Pretty much every reason he gives to make her quit is one he could use to stop himself lol.

It doesn't really matter if anyone reading cares or agrees with her, that's not her point.  Sure maybe she is wasting her time.  Fortunately it is her time and she can spend it as she pleases.  But if she is wasting time and effort for something that "no one will care about", why are you so worked up about it?  Just stop reading and move on :) 

Think I'll do that myself.  Good luck ABW :)

Does anyone else cringe a little when they hear Smed say they'll take "the essence of everything that was fun" and  "make it better"?

Well perhaps that would be good enough for some people, but I'm willing to bet more would consider a 7 day trial utter crap.  7 days is enough to get to 20-30 if you know what to do and where to go to gain xp, and if you do little else but grind out xp.  If that's a good way to evaluate a game in your opinion, bully for you.  However, if one wanted to explore a bit, go through the starting area at a relaxed pace, and in general try to experience the game, 7 days is pretty short.  IMO, when most games that offer trials give at least 14 days, 7 days says to me that they don't have the confidence in their product to give a 14 day trial.  Tortage is possibly the most polished area of the game, and if they were to let people wander it freely at whatever pace they choose I think they would not only boost subs but send a message to buyers that says they are confident in the product they are offereing.   

While I would be surprised if they made it free to play, I think they could gain more subs if they made Tortage free, and maybe level capped at 20 w/o a paying sub.  AoC's horrible release and high end requirements probably keep a lot of people from giving the game a shot, but making Tortage free could potentially create a lot more interest.  People who are on the fence about trying AoC and people who have tried it when the bugs were numerous might give it another shot if they know they can do so at no risk to themselves.

Your attributes don't directly influence what you do in the game.  A higher number in stat X won't let you shoot faster, harder, or straighter, and it won't let you research or build any faster.  What attributes do is affect how fast you learn skills.  Perception doesn't make you a better shot, it lets you learn how to be a better shot faster.  People say you have to do it such and such a way or you'll gimp your character, but that's not precisely true.  You just wouldn't learn the skills you need as fast as the person who is "ungimped".  Although I am still fairly new myself, I would suggest that if you are going to try Eve, make a trial account and play it for the 2 or 3 weeks and talk to people, read the forums, and ask questions ( be patient for answers, other players aren't there for your convenience ).  If after the trial is over you feel you need a fresh start, start a new trial and make the changes you feel necessary.  Then use the new free time to train the skills you want.  I believe a good place to start is www.battleclinic.com they have a lot of good info, the EFT, and either a really good noob guide or a link to it, I forget which .

Unless they changed their minds, it will be using GameGuard.  I agree it looks nice, but GG will probably be a deal breaker for me

Saying 2010 can just as easily mean December 2010 as January 2010, which gives them nearly two years.  When you consider CCP will be using some of the same technology from Ambulation for WOD, they will have plenty of testing without even having an alpha.  Also, CCP and White Wolf are now one company, which means the storylines have tons of canon to draw upon, and I would be very surprised to learn there isn't a team from WW hard at work adapting and developing lore for the game.  Since CCP doesn't seem to be afraid to make a challenging game, and the people who created the PnP games will be involved in the writing and development, then there is a realistic chance this will be a great game

The author finishing WoT is Brandon Sanderson, not RJ's son.  There are supposedly a few written chapters, audio recordings and detailed notes to work with, as RJ was aware he might not live to finish the series.  Also, Mr. Sanderson will be working closely with Harriet Jordan, who was RJ's editor.  You can learn a bit about Brandon Sanderson at his website www.brandonsanderson.com . 

Sorry for the off topic post

Do they still intend to use Game Guard?
