CCP and MMO

He's like a Hollywood producer. Everything he did flopped, except the Big Thing (d20). So, we're stuck with him.

I also don't think he's with CCP anymore.

Yay!
Although, with V:tES, as the old Finnish proverb goes, the crap is already in the pants (ie. damage is already done)

What they need to do is create their own stand-alone card game based upon the MMORPG, but there would be a "secret key" to make the cards usable with VTES.

Think about it....

The names, the types, the pictures, etc. are all under the system license they wouldn't be able to reuse.
Lots of card text would have to change. Conditioning specifically uses the term Action Modifier, Parthenon uses Master Phase Action, etc., etc..
We need someone getting permission for (at least) the System and the Setting.

And there lies the Problem

as long as the graphics arent DREADFUL , OR AN EYESORE like the World of Warcraft *shrugs*

played a lot of MMo's in my time and the only ones i like are ones whos graphics are detailed (PERFECT WORLD INTERNATIONAL and from that company).


this i actually have no issue with , as long as it is a free MMo , instead of one u pay for .

AND IT REMAINS in the OLD wod Universe (garou, wraits, etc INCLUDED).

I also fear that if any WoD cardgame pops up again, it's more likely to follow the already established World of Warcraft module.

Clearly you misunderstood my point. Why would they make *any* WOD CCG? They had one. They killed it. They aren't making another one. Again, they made the EVE CCG. It didn't go anywhere. They aren't making a new WOD CCG based on the MOD.

ok I get it now, cheers.
However, seeing how the whole vampire theme dominates the movie industry, for example (Twilight...meh...), I think they might want to go for it, just for pure cash. Again, it all depends on the success of the game. While with EVE it might have been a bad idea (I don't really picture EVE as a good base for a cardgame, and it was most likely done because others did that and succeeded) the WoD one may take a ride on a theme that is still massively popular. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

YAH BUT DUDE i believe you are forgetting a few notes ,

1) the good point about all this is when the SPARKLES enter the world they are gonna be 10 percent AT MOST of the population.
and BABY when they enter they are in for a mouthful, cus the butt whuppin they are gonna get verbally and INGAME is gonna be
LEGENDARY

personally i will have one ID for hunting down a SPARKLE and crushing them in-game as a true SABBAT should do , natch


2) the fans of WoD from back in the day will jump in (and that includes those of the ACTUAL gothic/ebm/alternative scene , like S.N.O.G. and house Pantheon of New york members ) ...not sure about the ones who are Requim players because i dont know a single soul who played that Crap.

3. the soundtrack i hope is gonna be done by some one good , or atleast have the opp to play ur music in the bg , like on ur IPOD / WMA program
