I like vampires, but I don't see how this can compete with CCP and White wolfs upcoming "World of darkness online", Twilight is just a cheesy rippoff from "Vampire - The masquerade" anyways.
WoDO is made by a succesful MMO company and one of the biggest pen and paper RPG companys out there. Twilight will be made by a few students... Which is most likely the best game here?
I just don't see how they can pull this off. CCPs game will be interesting to have a look on, I will surely buy it but not a twilight MMO unless they actually can offer something fun that noone else can.
It is good that other genres comes out as MMOs than fantasy and Sci-fi games but I would prefer something else than this.
I'd rather play Hello Kitty Online than subject myself to a Twilight MMO.
You thought Barrens Chat was bad in WoW? how about chat dominated by teenage girls lol, because they will obviously make up the majority of the playerbase.
Kinda disheartening, everyone wants to jump on the mmo bandwagon just because they see a chance for profits, nothing new about that - but you'd think they would want to cater to a larger audience, opposed to an extremely limited one.

They wont have to compete. Itll be two completely different crowds. Think about almost every other MMO thats been made, they all have the same 4 or 5 races and similar settings. While Lord of the Rings has the same settings and races as every other fantasy MMO, it dosent have to compete because it is first and foremost appealing to fans of the tolkien universe.
Twilight fans and less mainstream gamers will go to twilight. PnP players and veteran MMO games will give WoD a shot.
Originally posted by Scagweed22 is it the graphics? the repetativenesses? i mean what is the point? you could be so much more productive in real life Real life brings repetition and pointlessness too.

No one is waiting for a Twilight MMO. Twilight is, to say the least and most obvious of it, a love story. It tells how the girl falls in love with the guy who turns out to be a vamp. I really don't need an 'MMOG' of it, to tell me that.
The author of the series did a great job translating the story's magics and the love it contains. Let's not screw that up with some brainless MMO about it.
Well this news made me laugh . How the hell are they going to make an mmo out of this ??? Whats it going to be about Vampire romance ? I mean i thought a firefly mmo would nt do well because it had too limited and appeal but i cant think of sorce material worse than this to base any kind of game on. I ll eat my hat if this gets made . Hell i ll eat all your hats .
The games website cals it a video game, but with multiplayer. I guess that means MMO but apparently it will be all about decorating a house? As a vampire, werewolf or human? Guess playing an emo angst ridden tween is where the horror part comes into it.
The "lead developer" has said on other blogs that when it is finished and polished they'll "release it" to Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment is a film studio - they don't release games and they don't have the game rights to Twilight.
This is a couple of guys making an unofficial game using a cheap game engine.
Expect this to disappear as soon as the copyright holders send legal paperwork to BrainJunk.

I'm reasonably sure that a game set in the world of Twilight (note I said "a" game, not necessarily "this" game) could be a roaring success.
The target market would be the huge number of non-Internet-rage-nerd gamers that enjoy playing the Sims, Second Life, Habbo, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if combat was de-emphasised or even non-existent. People would buy it and love it, and the majority would be doing it because of the "brand", not the EZPVP.
That said, I can't see it working as an MMO for all the reasons this thread details. The last thing you want is a bunch of MMORPG trolls showing up and going all Viking on Forks, Washington.
Except no where on the site does it say MMO. It says multi-player, but that's it. Besides, how can you "experience the story from either Bella’s or Edward’s perspective" in an MMO? (For that matter, how can you experience their story as a werewolf?) I think this was posted just to make us all groan and bang our heads on the nearest dull (or sharp) object.
ROFLMAO!! O m g....I'm still laughing. What a great response!
I have to say on the MMO vs. multi-player comment....this is a growing problem. I have seen people proclaiming several different games to be MMOs, that are indeed NOT, but rather co-op play mutli-player games. I think that many modern gamers have either forgotten what a real MMO is, or...they've just decided to re-define it. Either way....it makes me a bit....sad.
I would love to see a REAL vampire type MMO ala Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines type of thing. This, however, is certainly NOT that thing. LOL

I say dismember, and burn the pieces.
This is a joke. Right? If it's not, this is fail worthy.
May the investors in this crap see the errors of their ways.
May the creator of this crap see the fallacy in the idea.
May anyone contemplating playing this, grow the **** up.
I would actually look at a BtVS MMO to see how it was progressing if not for morbid curiosity. But this... no ******* way.
Bad idea. Really bad.
so...

Protip: there won't actually be a Twilight MMOG.
I'm just cool like that.
The games website cals it a video game, but with multiplayer. I guess that means MMO but apparently it will be all about decorating a house? As a vampire, werewolf or human? Guess playing an emo angst ridden tween is where the horror part comes into it.
i agree with you there... what are they thinking!!!
whats next Harry Potter MMO? Cinderella MMO? i say get rid of all MMORPGs and keep EverQuest and Ultima Online
No...a Harry Potter based MMORPG would be cool. So back off!
I'd have to agree, I can see the potential in a HP MMO. Like a more realistic wizards 101.
This news article made the 11 yr old girls in my home overflow with joy while it made my 39 yr old gf die a little inside.
Looks like it could be a browser game
Others have said but I'll re-iterate:
THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL
The "lead developer" has said on other blogs that when it is finished and polished they'll "release it" to Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment is a film studio - they don't release games and they don't have the game rights to Twilight.
This is a couple of guys making an unofficial game using a cheap game engine.

So it is fail.
NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone should make it illegal!!!!!!!!! Why would anyone think this was a good idea!!!!

thank goodness this game if it even manages to be released officially, will FAIL

That would be my first realistic thought on this.
Face meet palm.
Another reason why game developers and executives just aren't paying attention to what our genre of gamers are looking for.
Bitter SWG vets finally get the open world non-linear sandbox MMO they've always whined about.
The Twilight MMO.
