CCP and White Wolf Games To Merge
Evod writes "Crowd Control Productions, maker of the MMORPG EVE Online, announced today 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." If you're a MMOG fan, or a table-top RPG fan, this is some interesting stuff right here.
My prediction is nobody really cares what you predict unless they disagree and then they will only care because they think others will read the reply.
Hell, pen-and-paper RPGs that are Dungeons and Dragons are dead, too.
Ninjas and pirates. How piquant.
Nice meta-analysis. Slashdot needs more of this.

If you were looking at screenshots of a spreadsheet, yeah that's the game. If you were looking at space ship eye candy, then it does look like that, but has very little to do with actually playing the game.
We already do.

I hear the final differences were settled with rock-paper-scissors.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
That can't be right. I've seen communists on TV - they all speak English, but with a strange accent.
