Before I tell you what the point is, here is a little review:
When Black Isle folded up, some of their members formed Troika. Troika then licensed an intellectual property from White Wolf Game Studio known as the World of Darkness, a horror-based RPG. The game that resulted was one of the buggiest games of all time (aren't all Black Isle-related games doomed to this?), known as Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
However, now there is an MMO in the works based on this IP. However, it is being produced directly by White Wolf/CCP, so fans of RP can rejoice, because the World of Darkness is the only RPG actually designed for role-playing over combat.
Point is, why would you care? I really don't know, but I think it would be a good alternative to FO, and it's also being made by the same guys who made EVE Online. Not to mention, vampires and werewolves as playable characters? Eh, eh?
More information can be found on the PlanetVampire forums (google it).
Since FO is teh sux, what about World of Darkness?

Yeah right; we haven't heard that story before. Besides, it's a MMORPG, so it's probably full of jackasses.Zenoseiya wrote:fans of RP can rejoice, because the World of Darkness is the only RPG actually designed for role-playing over combat.

The MMO will never be a satisfactory alternative to anything. Not even to cancer.
Doubtful that this quaint breed will be found in great numbers online. Instead they hunch over tables and/or yell LIGHTNING BOLT amongst the trees. Apologies, was thinking of Mage, though the Larper Quotient remains applicable.Zenoseiya wrote:role-playing
Writing of, Mage > Vampire/Werewolf.
Should you persist, I am certain you will find a cornucopia of cretins to pretend with. They are like ticks upon the back of Internet. Ehue.
