MOG Army is running an article about the new World of Darkess MMO to be created by EvE creator's CCP. We here at MMORPG.com have not yet confirmed this rumor through official channels. We will continue to update this story as we get more information.
The Icelandic game developer CCP will be developing a new massively multiplayer online computer game called World of Darkness. The game will be developed along with White Wolf, the board game company CCP merged with last year.
The setting of the game will be World of Darkness, a world inhabited by vampires and werewolves. White Wolf created said world and has written stories and books that take place there.

When you do something right people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
Now this looks like it has some potential. I'm guessing it would be a three faction game vampires, werewolves and humans? Never played the games thought I did read a few of the books. I did enjoy the Underworld movies, which I felt were similar to the White Wolf setting.
Will keep my eyes on this definately.
Sounds good

Playing: Everthing
Played: DAoC,AC2,EvE,SWG,WAR,MXO,CoX,EQ2,L2,LOTRO,SB,UO,WoW.
I have played every MMO that has ever come out.
As for confirmation it as been confirmed several times by CCP employees during the fan fest, on the eve-online forums and in the E:ON magazine.
It would even go so far as to say it's old news by now as the fanfest there it where first announced took place 3 months ago.

How do you know that DB isnt involved. DB could have sold the idea and be working with CCP now that he no longer has Horisons. DWO was announced like back in May... before all the buyouts and firings at Tulga. The descriptions are almost identical , even the names World of Darkness/Dark World.
/shrug
At no point does Tulga enter the picture. DB could not have "sold" anything and no one from Horizons has *anything* to do with either CCP, White Wolf, or the World of Darkness IP (with the possible exception of trying to rip it off, see Dark World Online.)
Where the hell did you get that idea, anyway? O_o
How do you kill that which has no life?

Takes her geek points and runs....
Id like to comment att his point, a few years ago mark rein-hagen left white wolf and went to work for microsoft to 'supposedly' make a World of Darkness MMO..... that was when the first vampire the masquerade game came out for the pc. like 8 years ago...... so, yeah whatever to a world of darkness mmo, but secondly and more important, about the NWoD. White Wolf did what i think is one of the most UNEXCUSABLE things for a PnP RPG company to do (Wizards is guilty too) and that is instead of coming up with new material they had to take what was great (OWoD) and fuck it up by changing it (NWod). Wite Wolf was about to go bankrupt from releasing too many shitty suppliment materials for the WoD and not being able to financially keep up with them. so instead of biting the bullet and actually USING thier brains to come up with a new game system or even concept/storyline they decided to regurgiatae old material. so they DESTROYED thier whole world and re created it, in, i might add, a most retarded way. I bought Vampire the masquerade the DAY it came out First Edition, Softcover.i followed white wolf for a long time, worked for them and with them, from helping to write for them to running a LARP for 5 years. everything they do is skewed. the only relly good game they ever made was Ars Magica, and they ever ripped that off to make Mage: The Ascension.
so my question is this, do you want to play a game made by a company that cant even come up with an original idea but has to keep recycling old ones?

No not thick just confused by the similarites and and more than once burnt by DB's doings. Ive never heard of World of Darkness and know nothing of CCP or Whitewolf. Assuming what you say is true then this does indeed sound like an interesting concept and I look forward to reading more about.
I wonder if it will be a full open PVP game similar to the discription given of Dark World online.
How do you kill that which has no life?
Right now that I've got that out of the way... I have a moral objection to playing a serial killer. Further more oWoD was utter sh!t and what I've heard about nWoD isn't any better. So that's two reasons why I won't be playing.

That's a good place to start. The shear amount of lore they have accumulated over the years is staggering.
How do you kill that which has no life?
So is this going to be another game where i can only skill up say weapons by learning books for months, but not by actualy using the weapons?
And get ganked soon as you leave the newbie area?
Fun!
