All right, fang gang, prepare to get your vamp on -- Moonlight Online is coming to a PC or coffin near you by the end of 2011.
Moving to capitalize on the final Twilight films, IGG announced that Moonlight Online will be launching its own version of vampires and werewolves before too long. Moonlight Online isn't just about well-worn horror concepts, but fresh ideas as well, such as strategic empire building, epic love stories, combat on the move, and fantastic creatures.
According to the forums, there will also be dynamic weather patterns that will shape the game world, throwing zones from a blizzard to an idyllic summer day as the seasons progress.
If you haven't already, make sure to sink your teeth into our dev diary, which gives a good overview of the game. We also have our very first look at in-game screenshots of Moonlight Online, which you can view in the gallery below!

All I have to say is: Vampires do not sparkle in the sun - They EXPLODE!

@Quarlo I've never seen any writer take into account that such rapid vaporization of something with such mass as a human body would be accompanied by the violent expansion of a superheated cloud of gas that would probably kill anyone nearby, as well.
Though I prefer the slow burn, myself.

@Daemodand
but then you are not a vampire, which kinda is the point...
if you want to be a vampire, be a vampire.
if you want to be a metrosexual, be a metrosexual.
a metrosexual with emo manners might be every 13 year old gal's wet dream...but not a vampire...

I'll tell you what would be cool. Everyone starts out as a human, but once they are defeated in PvP by someone from a different faction, they permanently become part of that faction. You could alternately choose to be bitten by your faction of choice. Forced faction change probably would be as popular with game developers and the mass market as permadeath.
I don't have a lot of hope for this game, but there are some fun things they could do with it.

Base it off True Blood, not this Twilight crapola, and you'll have a sick MMO full of tonnes of hot sex!

If CCP's World of Darkness sells $70 monocles I might give this game a look instead.

"The realism ranges from the metamorphosis each piece of architecture undergoes with the changing seasons right down to the color of the foliage as it turns from a crisp grassy green to warm autumn reds and browns." (source: http://forum.igg.com/viewthread.php?tid=2004386)
Ahh... gawd, I've been craving this in an MMO for years! And I believe, other than Ryzom, its just not happened in any other MMO. Its about damned time someone's doing this. Yay! :-D
