White Wolf MMORPG: $8-15 grand?!

I do believe I've read somewhere about a White Wolf MMORPG (I think it
was on the official corporate forums, by some fellow named fifthfife)
being created and have suggested on the White Wolf livejournal that
they inquire into services offered by Multiverse and hopefully at some
point in its progress, Multiverse or a competing company will offer
what is wanted by White Wolf and other game companies.

Eight grand is how much it would cost with Multiverse presently.
Assembling sufficient middle ware (such as the Valve Source Engine once
it irons out the stutter problems, or a better 3D engine) might be not
so much an extra expense. Total, it might cost White Wolf about
fifteen to twenty grand to produce a salable game, and with at least a
thousand players playing for fifteen dollars a month, this cost would
vanish in a season (assuming professional digital custodians are hired
and paid understandable fees).

White Wolf can come up with its own solutions as to handling typical
user interaction issues.

And since White Wolf already has several card and board games issued
that approach power situations neatly, an innovative system can be
developed to deal with large amounts of power being wielded by a small
group without unbalancing the game entirely -- using prior material as
guidelines. If keeping power in the game is as fun a challenge and as
varying a constance as gaining it, no one need worry about too much of
a grind nor being barred from the uppermost power by others.

Who is prepared to pay $15/month to play a White Wolf MMORPG? What
seems left to consider is whether or not it will be Old World of
Darkness, New World of Darkness, Dark Ages Dark Darkness, Exalted, or
perhaps a joint effort between White Wolf and other game companies.
Who knows, maybe it will turn out to be Hoka! Online or Dreampark
Online. Yeesh.

Well, I'd approach it the same way that I approach every other MMORPG
that hits the market... play the beta, get a 'friend code' if offered,
or if it has compelling reviews I might just pick up a copy of the
software and play for a month. I still play CoH and CoV, with Guild
Wars for fun on the side ( Factions is da w00t! ), but wouldn't be
adverse to playing a WW MMORPG as well...

The conditions being, of course, that it has a compelling storyline,
setting, interface, character design and at least passable graphics.
Oh, and that they drop oWoD completely. That game's over.
