World of Darkness MMO In 2011?

wodlogo.jpgWe haven't heard much about the proposed Worlds of Darkness MMO that was first announced last year when Eve Online developer CCP and White Wolf Publishing merged. Judging from the information the folks at Eurogamer pried out of CCP marketing director Magnus Begsson, we won't be hearing much for awhile, much to the chagrin of Nosferatadors (pretty ugly) around the world.

Speaking of a release date, Bergsson said, "We don't know yet. We're not really hiding any information about it, we just don't know yet. The actual design and exactly how it's going to be is being created right now, so when we actually know all of that we can guestimate how long it's going to take. These games typically take four to five years to make. I don't think this is going to be any different."

Judging from that, the earliest we'll see the game released is 2011, placing it squarely after the robot holocaust of 2009, which itself presents a problem.

I've always been a big Vampire: The Masquerade fan. Sixteen years ago I ran a local Atlanta BBS that had a running RPG on it. Hell, I LARPed for chrissakes, but that was years ago. Just not that guy anymore. Could the game eventually rekindle my dark passions? Does anything sound more stupid than the phrase 'dark passions'?
