I think this is pretty key to the game being based on Masquerade. A lot of gamers who vaguely know the setting will only know it from the computer games and maybe the TV series (which I have on DVD ).

I know what you mean about the distinctive feel of the game. It wasn’t quite ‘oo shiny vampires’ in the same way that Twilight is, there was a noirish edge and that’s one of the things that makes it cool (to me).

Yes, I agree with you Spinks. But I just couldn’t resist that terribad pun.

I didn’t play the RPG but I played some of the video games and enjoyed them immensely plus the TV series was quite fun too If CCP can capture the feel of the world then I think I’m going to enjoy the game a lot.

That’s the first thing I thought of when I heard the news. It’s obvious that the new system just isn’t working out.

I loved the old World of Darkness; my friends mostly played Werewolf, though. Although they complained that the old setting had the ever-present apocalypses foretold that never happened and that there was too much “meta-plot”, we managed to work with it just fine. In fact, we mostly ignored the featured characters, etc.

The only thing I really liked about the new setting was the character creation. I liked the idea of building a human then applying a “template” to make the supernatural. It gave your character a bit more instant background, which was cool.

Anyway, I’ll keep an eye on this. Sounds like it could be cool.

Perhaps this game will take a bite out of WoW…

It’ll be interesting to see a different setting in an MMO. I have no history with Vampire: The Masquerade, but since it’s a change from the standard fantasy setting I’ll definitely keep my eye on it.

It still amazes me how many MMOs choose to be set in a fantasy world when there are so many other interesting settings to pick from. Anything that deviates from the norm will grab an MMO player’s attention at this point.
