I've never played the tabletop (My experience has been limited to ADnD 2.0-4e, AFMBE, Savage Worlds, WFRP/40k, and Legends of the Wulin, though the last one never got farther than the first session. Sigh.), but I have played Bloodlines. It's one of those games I periodically re-install just to play again, honestly. Even if I always end out cheesing the game with Toreador celerity gunslinging.

To be completely fair, WoD is not a special case by any means. Every online game is going to have idiots, so it should be expected. The WoD MMO will have more than its fair share of idiotic vampire LARPers/fanatics just as FFXIV has more than its fair share of idiotic weeaboos. (Yeah, that's right. I said it.) The level of stupidity in the player base is not going to be any higher than usual. At least not significantly, anyway. But, just like RP griefers, we can easily just ignore them.

Just because it's a CCP game doesn't mean it will necessarily be played by the same kinds of folks who play EVE (all of which, as I just said, are not necessarily smart). Not to mention that you're actually quite wrong in your final statement. While the target audience for this game is aimed at neither player base, you're gonna see a LOT more WoW vets interested in that game than you will EVE vets. It's closer to their niche. |

I mean, I've seen people called 'Naruto Bleach' walking around, but as far as actually Japanese animation/gaming discussion? It's all been pretty enlightened with a wide variety of tastes. Different strokes for different folks, I'm afraid. You just haven't experienced what others and I have. That being said, the game is certainly not overrun with such behavior. But it is there, it's the sort of thing some would expect to be present, yet the majority of FFXIV's player base doesn't consist of it. I think the same will be true for the WoD MMO. The sorts of players that Raccoon suggested will definitely be there, but I highly doubt the overall percentage of stupidity is going be 40% higher or more than that of what is found in most other MMOs. A small part of the reason I think this is actually because of what you said about longtime WWolf fans typically (though not always) being older and more mature. That, and... I don't think how accessible something is, nor the self-perceived estimate of the amount of effort one hobby takes over another, are necessarily the best tools to be using for this sort of speculation. But that's just me. |

I didn't mean to imply that I thought you meant anything you said objectively, either. I know what you were getting at, I was just tossing my two cents out there on that.
The effort/popularity thing aside, I personally believe that the gothic subculture doesn't have as large of a following in the present day. That is, not when it comes to teens. Gothic culture (as we know it in 2013), is no longer what it was thirty, twenty, or even ten years ago. From my experience, I've seen less and less teens as traditional goths in the current day. (They're still around, of course. Just drastically less in number that the amount seen in the early 90s.) In the past decade, not necessarily otaku culture in particular, but geek culture seems to have taken on a stronger presence in the current day than goth culture has. Mind you, I'm still only talking about teens as the audience here. However, I can only speak from what I've witnessed. Perhaps it's different in certain parts of America, or in different parts of the world. Maybe there is a stronger following than I know of and I simply haven't heard of it yet. *shrugs* Back to the flavor of the player base thing, there is a correlation between a high number of teens and stupidity, but neither causes the other. Perhaps we'll be lucky and if there is a strong teen demographic for the WoD MMO, they'll mostly be mature ones? Who knows. |

Oh look, a White Wolf thread with an argument.
I'm not a mod, but I'm going to ask for the hostility in this thread to GTFO. Everybody just take a deep breath and drop whatever quibbles you have with each other right now and let's just continue on topic. So I'm a bit out of the loop, has White Wolf said anything about the complete edition of Mage: the Ascension? I'd love to get my greedy little paws on a copy of that.
