What's This About CCP Making a 'New & Highly Ambitious MMORPG'? - MMORPG.com News
The CCP website has been updated with a job listing for a lead designer for a "new and highly ambitious MMORPG" that will be part of a team in the company's London studio. "We are looking to grow a relatively small, tight-knit team, capable of delivering big ideas through experience, smart process, and world class tools".

So no, this isn't WoD related. This is something else.

Seems anyone can attach the title mmorpg now a days so i wouldn't take much notice of that.
My guess figuring a low budget game,yet another take on a PUBG/H1Z1/survival using ARPG type combat and calling it a mmorpg.
After losing all that money last time with WOD as well a fail,i doubt they will ever again risk much money.A developer that thinks putting check marks in a skill tree box is a good idea,no thanks to anything they make.

However, I do see where you're coming from, though, from the potential customer base being larger.

We should all realize that a game like that would be heavily micro transactions,selling cool housing items and clothing.Then everyone likes pets for their house so tons of pets for sale.I have a VERY good inclination to believe CCP sees a big money ticket and not doing it for love of game design.

RPS: Because it’s been so long since we’ve had a White Wolf game, could you talk about why it’s taken so long? And what does going back to digital games let you do, in a storytelling sense, that you can’t do on tabletop?
Ericsson: The first question is pretty easy. It’s because at CCP, I was one of the content designers on the MMO World of Darkness, and the strategy we took there was to put all our eggs in one basket. We wanted to make the most awesome, content-heavy MMO, and then content-heavy MMOs went BAM, into the sink. We saw Knights of the Old Republic fail and Warhammer Online crash.
We were in the middle of MMO death, so we tried to rescope, and we tried to do that by doing something in CCP’s style, which is emergent player-based stories. But we were a bit too late, and we maybe tried to bite off a bit more than we could chew.
The answer to that question makes me Q.Q

I do think that with a new game they have a better chance at delivering something friendly to new players.

I remember them working on a "new and highly-ambitious MMORPG" (the vampire one), but it got cancelled. I was really looking forward to that one. Now, I don't care about anything CCP is "working on" until it's released.
They really have no business working on ANY new MMORPG after cancelling the last one. They should stick with what they already have, EVE, and leave the rest to other developer studios.
lol @ console mmos being anywhere close to logic
thx for the laugh dude
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
They have pretty much ash canned all development efforts outside of EVE. As it slowly winds down, they need to get something new going that has a possibility of a quicker turnaround than a traditional MMORPG.
I don't see them creating anything which would compete against their flagship title, but they've not exactly shown the greatest ability at gauging market trends correctly. (In all fairness, neither did I or many others for that matter)
Hard to say what they have in mind, but it has to work if they are to remain viable as a long term development studio.

'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
