World of Darkness is taking tired MMO convention and slicing its throat. Then it’s smearing the result all over a single server universe where the fight for political influence is just as important as the literal battle for blood. Get enough power and you can kill off someone’s character, permanently.
As Reynir pointed out to a relieved crowd at last week’s fanfest: CCP are “not making Twilight.”
TOR/MoP killer?Reynir Hardarson: Politics are taken to a new level in this game, especially as we have positions with actual powers. This is the way the old Vampire the Masquerade game has been run – we have princes and you have harpies and you have positions in the evil hierarchy. In this game we give power to the players. There’s no NPC who is the artificial prince of the city – players set the rules and they have the positions and that’s really – that’s where the politics come in.
