Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Vampires from Outer Space?

Part Two of Two

Magnus grinned back at me. “Absolutely,” he said. “The things we are doing in EVE will almost assuredly have a direct impact on what players see in the WoD MMO. But things will only get better from here, and this is still only an early alpha build.”

World of Darkness fans, your prayers have been answered. I’ve now seen just what CCP can do when it comes to avatar graphics, and I was astounded by it. The early build was easily comparable to other MMOs that are coming out this year, such as Age of Conan and Gods and Heroes, and with another year of tweaking…the skies the limit. And remember, while they have never done character models before, CCP has won the “Best Graphics in an MMO” award from numerous publications throughout the years.

Anyone who is anticipating the World of Darkness MMO should seriously consider taking advantage of this opportunity to become familiar with CCP and EVE Online. While the world may not be what you’re looking for, cast that aside and look at the bigger picture. See the graphics, look at the personalities at CCP, and learn about their worlds.  Spend a few hours every day looking at our video and begin to imagine Solomon Birch or Pearl Chastain as one of these avatars. Immerse yourself in the video.

As a World of Darkness player and one of the five final novelists in the fiction contest, I have a tremendous spot in my heart for White Wolf and I was hoping that an MMO from that world would not be tarnished. I now know that my doubts were fruitless. I can’t wait to suck some virtual blood.
