The Kestrel Minority

Anyone else following this?

If you aren't familiar with the franchise the MMO is based off a tabletop roleplay book with a massive cult following.

This is the Wiki for the original game

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire:_The_Masquerade

CCP, the makers of E.V.E online (another amazing game) are handling the MMO version, and from what I've seen and heard this could be a game with a very special place in the market.

For starters, WoD will be a very mature game, with graphic violence, sexual themes and literally no rules in terms of player conduct. Like EvE, CCP allow the community to utterly police itself.

The game will place a massively high importance on the social aspects of gaming and roleplaying, with the highest ranking positions of power (being a cities "prince") being somthing a player can achieve without raising a fist, if they are clever about gathering enough support (Princes are voted in by other players).

Everyone starts as a human, and only other players can make you a vampire, so you need to roleplay it as they have said making a new vampire is a serious commitment (no details how the first player vampires will be made, but we assume GM's will roleplay vampires for a few weeks til there is a player base).

Blood will be the main currency.

Cities will be based on real world cities (London was mentioned) but dramatized and made to look slightly more stylish.

Fashion will be a huge part of the game with literally thousands of possible clothing/hair/makeup options.

Here is some game footage...

Here is a video with some super info and the first in game footage.

4.18 has the first theme video footage (not game footage)

14:30 real specific game info begins.

If this ends up being as brutal and "open" as it seems,I'll definitely give it a try. Bloodlines doesn't do it for me meanwhile,if that's any indicator.

We'll see.

Bloodlines is a bit of a joke, though with the fan made bug fixes and extra content, it is passable and has some brilliant moments.

I'll keep y all posted.

OOO, must find more info, Got to head to work now though, will watch all that video later.

Looks INteresting, Humm too many MMO's brain overload "Star Wars: The Old Republic" "The Secret World" "World of Darkness" "Champions Online" that last one has a good RP Community.

I hope the get the Feeling right for WoD.

Ooh.....

Nice one. Good job on the links.

I would eat that one up like nomnomnom

This is one of the games I just can't wait to try out! I LOVE World of Darkness, and CCP knows how to make sophisticated and quality MMOs. Thanks for getting the links, I need to read up on some info!

quite the necro, the last post was in 2012 :S

I've never understood the issue with a bit of thread necromancy especially on a small forum like this. Why not use existing fitting, threads instead of creating a new one?

True point, but I thought this was long forgotten
