Permadeath considered for World of Darkness MMO

I really recomend visiting Justin´s Site and read all the concepts they are working around. Really interesting.


This new comes from "massively.com":

CCP unveiled the World of Darkness MMO at The Grand Masquerade earlier this week where Justin Achilli hosted a well-attended panel for World of Darkness fans. The goal was to hear from those looking forward to the MMO and get a feel for what they want to see.

Attendees talked about some of the standard elements such as immersion and casual vs. hardcore, but there was a surprising suggestion thrown out as well: permadeath. Justin's notes from the panel read "Permadeath. Server type preference?"

Permadeath is an interesting concept -- even more so in a game centered around immortal beings -- and Ardwulf took a long look at it in his newest post on Ardwulf's Lair. Want to weigh in on permadeath in WoD or see the rest of what was discussed? Check out the full list of panel notes on Justin's site.

World of Darkness confirmed, based on Vampire: The Masquerade

That´s a awesome new! I will be watching for news every day.

From massively.com:


""Some secrets are best taken to the grave..." While it wasn't that closely guarded, we were waiting on the edge of our seats to hear the official word of CCP's World of Darkness this weekend. At The Grand Masquerade convention in New Orleans, the developers not only confirmed the project, but revealed that it is set in White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade setting. Vampire: The Masquerade was indeed the old World of Darkness RPG, so this MMO should send fans into paroxysms of joy.

Ardwulf's Lair reports that the MMO will come out in 2012 at the earliest, and that it "will have a focus on player politics and social interaction." The two-minute video reveal sets a gothic tone as a woman narrates the secret world of the vampires: "They're all around us, they control everything, they've always been here, waging their secret wars, devouring everything that gets in their way... It all begins after you die."

We'll bring you more details as they pour in, but in the meanwhile, check out the video reveal (NSFW, this is World of Darkness after all) after the break."

That´s all the info that I´ve founded right now:

This video shows the new clothing and animation technology they are going to use for both the avatar focused portion of EVE online and the World of Darkness game. It looks quite good.

Interview:
"I am the senior producer for the World of Darkness MMO that we are working on. Thanks. Glad you guys are excited about it. But I'm not going to talk about that today, unfortunately. I know it's a horrible tease, right? But the fact is, before we talk about the World of Darkness MMO, we want it to be right, and we're spending millions of dollars getting it right and we want to make sure that when we are ready to show it, we are ready to show it. And the one thing I can tell you is that we absolutely will be taking the attitude of a company like Blizzard – without making World of Warcraft with fangs- but we won't do this until is right, we won't release it until it's right."

"(...) that's Reynir Harðarson, he is our creative director on Vampire... and... sorry, excuse me, the World of Darkness MMO." (5:28)
"(...) and I still feel passionately about storytelling, I still feel passionately about the whole World of Darkness setting, and that is going to carry through to the community that we want to build, because people are building this relationships online and in real life like this, and we want to find a way to make sure that all those things coexist in a way that makes everybody feel comfortable and everybody feel a part of the process and focuses on storytelling and quality, and that's what we're going to do."
