Ccp Buys White Wolf

[Dubh Aingeal]

Crowd Control Productions, maker of the MMORPG Eve Online, announced Saturday at their annual fanfest in Reykjavik, Iceland that a merger between White Wolf Publishing and themselves is a done deal.

From the White Wolf Press Release:

The merged company will enable CCP to integrate White Wolf's leading expertise in offline gaming development to enhance and create physical products for its MMOG, EVE Online. Products to be introduced in 2007 will include strategy guides, enhanced collectible card games, role-playing systems, and novels all based on EVE Online. White Wolf will leverage CCP's industry-leading technologies to bring its offline role-playing titles online. Conceptualization and early development has begun to bring White Wolf's World of Darkness, one of the world's strongest gaming properties, into the online world.

Each company will keep its own name and Hilmar Petursson, Chief Executive Officer of CCP, will step up as CEO of the merged companies.

Being a current and active member of the Camarilla - White Wolf's Official Fan Club (shamelful plug), I wonder if this merger is going to affect the current Global Chronicle. It seems like moving things online could be good and bad for many reasons. I hope it doesn't change the current camarilla system.

I don't even remember how to play the old system anymore been playing Requiem for so long now. I'm also interested in tabletop games but would rather play Requiem instead of Masquerade, hmmm..I guess it wouldn't matter, the tabletop systems are similar anyway.

Also, if anyone's interested in Requiem LARP there's a Detroit game Veil of Dreams and an Ann Arbor game Sapientia in Tenebris.
