I have posters of all three of those vampires. My wife won't let me hang Jeanette anymore. She's been looking at the wall behind my door for months. The Nosferatu used to hang at my desk, but then we moved to cubes. Ming-Xiao is still in the poster holder. <sigh>
Well this is a game I need in my life. World of Darkness stuff brings but fond college memories and makes me happy. I would gladly play this. A city Gangrel would be a hoot. Short sentences. Big ideas. The Occams way of commenting.
I'm finally playing Vampire on Steam. Like The Old Republic, this sounds like an MMO I might actually play. :-D
Yeah I was going to say this sounds like it'll be VERY much like EVE, which is good in a lot of ways, but kind of turns me off completely.
I played Vampire and other World of Darkness properties for a long time during high school and I can see where it'll be a lot of fun, but the premise of having to actually run things in a city if you make Prince is pretty intimidating from all angles (even as someone who doesn't want to lead but would have to put up with who does end up leading). Its one thing to have you friends play towards such ambitious roles, but its another thing to have some guy completely across the world do it.
If they let us end up as Werewolves I might be down, working in packs/tribes may not be as intimidating, but it doesn't sound like its clear yet which races (not the right word exactly, but I'm at a loss at the moment) we can end up being besides plain humans or vamps, even if it does hint to the fact that there will be more.

Interesting, I can't wait to see it come out. I'll eventually wind up hunting down all the twilight fans who try to roleplay those romantic stereotypical characters just to remind them that this is called World of Darkness for a reason.
This is what I was expecting, and I'll be happy if they keep it this way. Surprises me that they let you stay as a mortal... wonder if they let you become the ghoul of someone else. That might be an interesting role to play.
Regardless, there's facets of this MMO that I really want more info on... how deep the politics get, how you choose the prince/primagens/elisiums of each city. Can you start your own city? How is the gameplay split between combat and politics? Can you be hunted out of the city for conniving too much or breaking the Masquerade? How do you choose your generation?
I assume you have areas for the Sabat and areas for the Camarilla. How are wars between Sabat and Camarilla or between clans settled? I personally think it's enough that just Vampires are involved; there's plenty of conflict there as is, though I wouldn't mind if NPC werewolves were mixed in as well.

This sounds like it could be pretty amazing. Hoping to hear some more details soon.
Does pre-production me they haven't even started though?

@ricochetguro
Pre-production means they're still in the planning stages. Not building levels, but writing up documents about which cities they want to build and what their high-level goals are for the game. They added character models and walking to EVE, so their engine guys can play around with that sandbox from a tech side.
@Stigmeyer
You never know. All three of those are painted photographs, as I recall.

Sounds great, expect the permanent death. Permanent anything on a latency based game is something to be careful with. Even in their other games CCP only allows you to lose your valuables.
I just want a Bloodlines remake with the Deus Ex 3 engine now that would be cool! mostly and I may be alone in this I got a feeling when playing Deus ex that it would suit Bloodlines. I'm not in to the MMO thing its the same with the old republic i want a single player game not a money grabbing MMO
An MMO with player princes? That probably means the prince of every city is going to be a dick... Wait... That's how it was in every tabletop I've played.

I've gotta say I'm pretty curious about this one, I loved Bloodlines in all its buggy brokenness and it's got such a great universe to build on with it, plus CCP -know- how to do living, breathing worlds.
Like for example whenever I get the urge to jump back to EVE for a bit I always find myself immersed in that universe, the fact it's all other players driving the economics and content of the game and not simply a case of 'this is your town hub, this is the dungeon queue of the same dull dungeons, and these are raid dull raid instances that suffer from cases of Dallas syndrome and recycleitis, oh and here's some inconsequential PvP content we try to make popular even though it'll always pale in comparison to Arenas as arenas are the cancer that killed world pvp' and well, other than making a swing or 2 at a certain fantasy MMO with a slowly degrading fanbase that it doesn't really deserve I really can't wait to see what CCP do with this, and permadeath sounds pretty hardcore...

Can we just have a sequel to Bloodlines? Sounds cool and all, but I don't like MMO's much, don't have enough time to play them. :L
between this and The Secret World I might have to one day pop my MMO cherry
of course it'll probably be AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES till this comes out

Why does everyone like Bloodlines, it's like a shell of the game Redemption was. Redemption had multiplayer where you could host your own game and create your own adventure. It had indepth character creations and a far freaking better story.
All I remember of Bloodlines was all the bugs.

@Volomon - Honestly, Bloodlines was my first venture into the World of Darkness universe, haven't played Redemption so I can't really pass judgement on that one :p still, fan patched Bloodlines with mods is awesome!
