Whoa! Read this:
http://www.white-wolf.com/index.php?line=news&articleid=629
White Wolf: Known from their Vampire RPG (+ whole World of Darkness universe) and a boatload of D20 material.
CCP: makers of a semi-popular MMORPG (Multiplayer Massive Online RPG) called Eve-Online.
Resulting in: A World of Darkness MMORPG and a pen and paper Eve RPG (comming near you in the future).
[edit]
Details:
EVE Online: Products to be introduced in 2007 will include strategy guides, enhanced collectable card games (there's already a Eve ccg), role-playing systems, and novels all based on EVE Online.
I have mixed feelings about this. While i greatly respect the quality of WW's RPG work, i am afraid that work on a WOD MMORPG will reduce the attention Eve-Online will be getting from the CCP development team. On the other hand, knowing WW style, the Eve p&p RPG might bring in a lot of new players to Eve-Online (not to mention making the current player base stay longer and be even more fanatical). Also if a WOD MMORPG is build on the same technology as Eve-Online is, that might mean more development time that would also benefit Eve-Online.
For those of you that wonder why Eve-Online is such an unique MMORPG, one of the aspects is that all the 130,000+ players share a single universe (one huge computer cluster). Games like World of Warcraft, while having a lot more players, share those player across a lot of different servers (devinately a lot less then 100,000 players per server).
