For those following this MMORPG...
A interesting article about MMO's, CCP and Eve Online however there is a quick blurb about WoD Online as follows:
After the release of Eve Online’s expansion in March, the company will focus on creating another multi-player game based on the popular World of Darkness fictional universes created by White Wolf.
So as some predicted it does seem first half of this year is going to be when things really ramp up, March exactly.

What exactly is this MMO about?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys! I'm hopelessly lost in a mountain of mole hills! Them damn moles!
It's based on the Pen and Paper RPG by White Wolf Vampire:The Requiem (Previously Vampire: The Masquarade). The single player PC game that came out a few years ago Vampire: Bloodlines was based on the game system and setting.
In a nutshell the World of Darkness setting is a fictional world similar to ours however with a much more gothic influence, a little more leaning towards anarchy with the vampires of night pulling the strings behind the scenes of the moral world. All most all mortals as in our world, in WoD think vampires are a myth, however there are many clans and factions of them not only fighting between themselves (both politically and physically) but also age old wars with the like of werewolfs and other monsters of the night.
Hope that clarifies

Imagine that if you could peel away the surface of normality that surrounds the world you live in and expose all the crawling fear, paranoia and hatred hidden beneath. You might find that you're a pawn in the complex power-games of the vampire clans, or that the countryside around your town is a battlefield in a war between the werewolves and the forces of decay and corruption, or that creepy guy next door is a reality-twisting mage. What you just found is the World of Darkness.
World of Darkness is probably one of the most daunting IPs I could imagine, but the payoff is the sheer wealth of high-quality lore on hand. Back when I used to play there were the core systems, Vampire: The Masquerade, Mage: The Ascension and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. There were also all kinds of additional sub-rulesets added for wraiths, mummies, angels and just about every kind of supernatural beastie you could think of...I'll never forget the time our Storyteller introduced the Freak Legion material...man...that was just....wrong.
When is the game supposed to be released or be put in beta?
CPU-HP Omen 17.3" Laptop i7 12 GB AMD Radeon RX580 1 TB Hard Drive
Depending on what source you wish to beleive 2010 or 2011 are the target dates. All this info can be found on my site.

Bleh, World of Darkness. Bunch of goth vampires running around hating the fact they are immortal. Now Age of Sorrow. That is an awesome game system (also made by White Wolf) They should have just skipped the Vampire/Werewolf thing and gone striaght to Exalted. Would have been awesome
There is a Madness that has grown in the Light. And it is coming to burn you a cinder

In few words... gothic emo waste of time mmo
If you watch The Karate Kid backwards it's about this karate champ that just kinda slowly becomes a pussy and ends up moving back to Jersey
WoD is like a fine wine. To those familiar with it, it is excellence. To those used to swill (WoW, WAR, FF and so on) they are over whelmed by it and thus turned off by it for the only reason it is beyond them.

so Darkfail 2.0? Actually even Adventurine can put together a better site than that.
Dude that's only a fansite.
Once CCP gets shit rolling with WoD it will easily out class DF.
Much like Eve does.
Playing: EvE, Ryzom
Isn't that IP the one that had emo goth kids dressed up in all black and run around on college campuses pretending to be vampires? Sounds great....
yeah that's it.
Back in the day my friends would go over board with it.
Our Rp sessions would usually turn into Orgy's.
Had my First 2 girl 1 guy sex session playing Masquerade, In NYC we took that shit alittle too far in the village.
goodtimes......
Playing: EvE, Ryzom
Says the guy posting on a spam ridden, poorly executed site...
Ok I'll bite (prob to a guy who's never built a site in his life) whats so bad about it?
That aside... How is WoD = to DF?

I wouldn't mind a vampire themed MMORPG since there isn't one around is there?
The mere fact that I'm familiar/have heard of World of Darkness and don't have a clue as to what Age of Sorrow is makes it seem unlikely.
That the creators behind EvE Online is behind this makes me interested even though I am not that much into vampires.
This honestly amazes me considering how big the vampire/werewolf craze has been in the past 10 years. Not to mention the mere concept lends itself perfectly to a PvP centric MMO.
I'm glad CCP picked it up. They're probably the only company I trust to make an deep, involved, dark, ominous, and brutal PvP game that the IP deserves.
So... is the site down for good or is it coming back?

still want my wodonlinenews back. with the site down for so long it feels kinda empty to finally have an official yes from ccp; AND see that it's gonna be OWoD (we all thought it was gonna be NWoD).
