    Hmm, would the anti-genderbending be sacrificing their ideal for the sake of playing a Slayer? XD

    That's assuming that they build it correctly, but you're forgetting something called "DDO".  For many years I made your comment but in regards to fantasy MMOs, saying that if anyone ever made a Dungeons & Dragons MMO then that would be it.  Most epic MMO ever.

    Well, you know that went.

    Don't get me wrong.  I love WoD and vampires and werewolves and horror and... the whole shabang.  While I have more respect for CCP than I'll ever likely have for Turbine, that's not saying that I have any form of explicit trust that they - or anyone - will actually do the IP justice.

    I'd cross my fingers and hope for the best, but I need them to be snarky on the forums.


    EDIT:  As far as a Twilight MMO is concerned, sure, let them have it. I really don't care.  It would keep those types out of the WoD IP where they would almost certainly whine about how the vampires are too mean, not romantic enough, and otherwise not like edward.  It would do everyone a service.

    For sure there is great material for a MMO there...

    Awful book series and an awful movie series, the only reason anyone I know likes it is because Edward whats his face is "dreamy"

    If they ever make a Vampire MMO it will not be based on that series, it wouldn't make any sense, try perhaps True Blood <snip>

     

    Really? I can't see why some people make the big distinction between Twilight and True Blood. To me, they are the same and the only real difference is that in Twilight vampires SPARKLE.

    Other than that....... they are both chick flicks imho. (yeah I know True Blood is a show... I'm married I've been forced to watch every single one)

     

    In all honesty........ I like Twilight more than True Blood. But, that's just because I lived where Twilight is filmed and the scenery brings back memories. lol My dad called me the other day and said part of a scene in the trailer was shot about 1/4 mile from our house.

     

    I'm not a fan of either of those. That said, I'd prefer to see Kindred The Embraced, which in a round about way is what's happeneing with CCP's World of Darkness Online. Kindred was based on White Wolf's IP (Vampire: The Masquerade) and the new WoDO is based on White Wolf's new World of Darkness setting, which includes Vampire: The Requiem which is the revamped (pun intended) of Vampire: The Masquerade.

    I just don't trust that a vampire mmo would work unless it was more along the lines of an Underworld style (doesn't have to have werewolves just the style) world where it's more about the conflict.

    I suppose what I'm saying is that mmo's don't seem to me to be very good at generating atmosphere. It's hard to be scary with people dueling in the tombs and people dancing on top of the bushes.

    Eh, I was being mostly sarcastic. Just wanted to see a Russian MMO other, than Allods. Actually, I just want to see a good Urban Fantasy MMO, doesn't really matter based on what.

    I hate WoW because it made my plush hamster kill himself, created twin clones of Hitler, punched Superboy Prime in reality, stared my dog down, spoiled my grandmother, assimilated me into the Borg, then made me into a real boy, just to make me a woman again.

    EQ1 has quite a lot of vampires, it's actually pretty deep in EQ's lore.  Unfortunately it's not one of the new shiny MMO's so it's not as popular as MMO's with pretty graphics.

    Well, because of this thread I just installed Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines (never actually finished it). Installed a patch and started it up.

    I was on a stage because of a violation from the person who sired me and looked over to see 2 people dancing on the same stage. Then someone yelled from across the room "NOOB".

    I'm not sure this whole mmo Vampire thing is a good idea

     I am a woman and I say no to shiny-vampires.

    The books were fine, the movies are decent but the fact that the vampires shine is silly.

    I never want to see a Twilight MMO.

  • blackthornnblackthornn Member UncommonPosts: 617

    ok, i read some of this thread but couldn't stomach reading much more when I caught the Twi word more than 3 times, and with True Blood being mentioned............ack

     

     

    you want a vampire MMO? One's in development right now, based off a huge franchise.  CCP/White Wolf Games Studio is working on the World of Darkness MMO.  Vampires, Mages, Werewolves, all prowling the current world (done more darkly picture the streets of Gotham as done in the movies, full of homeless, gangs, corruption...oh wait (looks out is window)..nevermind.  But the game's in progress towards being released.

     Grouping in Old school mmo's: meeting someone at the bar and chatting, getting to know them before jumping into bed.  Current mmo's grouping: tinder.  swipe, hookup, hope you don't get herpes, never see them again.

    Since White wolf themselves are now a part of CCP they should be able to do the game justice. The whole idea of a MMO made together by a computer game and a pen and paper game company is interesting in itself.

     

  • DarbiiRueDarbiiRue Member UncommonPosts: 832

     I am all for a White Wolf version of a vampire MMO. I truly believe they could do a vampire MMO justice. But I am highly against any MMO's having to do with Twilight & True Blood. The books are good (great in TB's case), the movies & TV shows are good but as far as Twilight goes, it skews the world of vampires. Sure there have been many adaptations to vampires over the years, but I really think that the Twilight saga has been blown out of proportion.

     Since when is Twilight about vampires? 13 yr old girl mmo yay

     

    id rather play sims online.

    Maybe based on True Blood, now that'd be a game.. but please for the love of whatever god you worship.. not Twilight...  It was summed up in an earlier post.. VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE  :)

    A half decent effory at trolling, but you might want to try using an account that is not over 5 years old and then you say you have only been playing MMOs for a short time.

    No thanks. I rather have my MMO be a sausage-fest than have it plagued by Twilight fans.

    The last thing I need is a bunch of tween girls, or 56 year old women, running around, professing their love for half naked warewolf/vampire animal things

    Have some god damn respect for yourself, you're old enough to be a grandmother to those tween warewolves.

    True blood shows boobies. Twilight shows man boobies. Pretty huge difference if you ask me.

    Perhaps if you watch Nosferatu (1922) without saying it's boring,

    READ the count dracula novel ALL THE WAY THROUGH

    and find out about the RAPE that TWILIGHT is to the origin of vampire-lore

    what....

    no you still won't change your mind.

    Nevermind,

    god.

    no.

    just please.

     

    edit: and I got trolled, for the first in my life. My hatred for twilight fans is deeply rooted :(

    I don't post much, just watch for news, usually regarding Star Wars (I am old enough that I went to the first Star Wars movie with my kids).  My first mmo was SWG...the original SWG and life has never been the same since it got ruined.  I played WoW for 3 years, going on 4, and now I play LOTRO.  So, I am not trolling, I finally had something to say.  It isn't about vampires that sparkle, its about I finally got interested in them and it was Twilight that did it.  I don't care if its all new or based on an already existing franchise, I just want to do Vampires.

    Listen, no offense, but... It's not an MMO material. I wanted Discworld MMO for several years now, but it's never going to happen, since it's not an MMO material as well. There is nothing TO buid an MMO about, outside of MUD/Second Life rip-off with a different skin.

    That, and the fact, that there just may be a World of Darkness MMO in the works.



     

    CCP are definitely working on a "World of Darkness" MMO. No word on when it will be released though.

    Give me liberty or give me lasers

  • icaughtfireicaughtfire Member Posts: 109

    A lot of people especially girls only love twilight because of the cast but not the story. in order for you to make a successful MMO you have to have a good storyline in which Twilight fails to have. >.<
