The WoD MMORPG was recently cancelled, and few weeks later details of the playtesting are leaking out.

There are two sets of screenshots: I & II.

And also has been leaked a testers manual dating march 2014.

From the article and peeking at the PDF, it looked like a way too typical and basic MMO, with small tweaks like ghouls for NPC control, but in general everything as usual: Guilds (broods), skill trees, XP, missions, contested zones...

While this doesn't has to be exactly bad, when you come from a so rich RPG as Vampire you need to provide more than just what somebody else does in a nice setting. This shouldn't be a typical hack'n slash "vampire version", but something deeper and more complex. In fact I don't know how a "proper CRPG" Vampire videogame should be, maybe is just not the proper platform.

Anyway, at least CCP noted they weren't going the good way and stopped before a complete retail disaster.

UPDATE: Quite detailed insider details of how CCP's terrible management killed the game.

A MMORPG about World of Darkness, the vampires and werewolves world from White Wolf, is on the way. Let's see how it ends, it's a good franchise.

UPDATE: Years later, small bits of info. The most interesting ones, that you can stay human, thee will be humanity points (and can both lose and win them) and (where the interesting point comes) there will be permadeath of your characters.If your vampire dies, it stays dead. How will permadeath work in a MMORPG? We'll see... someday!
