Frequently Asked Questions

When is the game coming out?


We do not know. The only official answer has been ‘when it is ready’.

Will there be a subscription fee?

There is presently no information about the game's intended financial model.

When will beta testing begin?


We do not know. No information has been revealed about game-testing.

Will there be a day/night cycle?


There will be no day/night cycle, only night.

What clans will be available for play?


In 2011 they said that the game would include the 7 Camarilla clans. In 2012 that changed to the ’original clans’. We are not yet positive what that means.

Will there be permadeath in the game?


Permadeath will exist, however, only the Prince of a city will have the power to potentially invoke it. It has been speculated that this might require a city-wide blood hunt to be called, but we do not know. It has also been hinted that players may be able to agree to fight to the death.

Will it be possible to play something other than a vampire?


Yes, everyone will start the game as a mortal and may choose to be turned into a vampire. However, players may elect to remain a mortal if they wish. It has been stated that mortal characters will not be as powerful as vampire characters.

Will I be able to start as a vampire and can I choose my clan?


You start as a mortal and can choose to become a vampire. As far as we know, you will be able to choose your clan.

Will werewolves and other supernatural creatures be in the game?


Other supernatural creatures will exist in the game as NPCs at launch and their lore will likely be included into the game.

Will there be player housing?


Players will have their own havens and these locations will be no-holds-barred, allowing things like full character nudity.

How will the game handle servers and instancing?


The entire game will exist on a single server with no instancing.

Will I be able to use a firearm?


Firearms will be in the game but will not be very powerful. The game is biased towards close-range combat.

Will generation play a role in this game?


Generation will be used in some way but not as a replacement for levels.

How will protecting and claiming territory work?


One of the game’s primary goals is amassing territory. We are, however, unsure exactly how these will function.

What resources will the game use?


The game will focus on the acquisition of territory and blood. That’s about all we know for sure.

How will guilds work in WoD?


There is presently no information regarding guilds.

Will traditional PvP and PvE be a part of the game?


PvP and PvE will both be featured in the game. CCP is catering to three gameplay styles they call the ‘Coffeeshop’ (a sort of low-conflict RP and introduction to the game game-style), the Themepark (which will involve their PvE content), and the Sandbox (the focus area of the game centered around player politics and PvP).

How will open world PvP work?


PvP has been said to be more limited in some ways, but more open than in other MMOs. True to the sandbox concept, the game may have some safe (Elysium) areas, but overall there will be no PvP ‘flagging’ that many games have in PvE servers.

Will all vampire disciplines be in the game?


Most likely not. The game will only focus on certain clans at launch and some disciplines (temporis is specifically mentioned) are too difficult to include in the game.

Will players be able to have ghouls and/or retainers?


There is currently no information about ghouls, retainers, or any other sort of companion characters.

Will I be able to sire other vampires?


This is presently unknown. It is suspected that you may be able to.
