Development has already begun to port the #1 multiplayer CCG over to online play. "Vampire's graphical and strategic intensity are a good work-out for our development staff. We aspire to bring over as much dark flavor and feel as possible into the online adaptation, and look forward to inviting VTES players in for beta-testing later this year," said Ed Mittelstedt, president of CCG Workshop. Online VTES will be hosted on its own dedicated server accessed through White Wolf's website or CCG Workshop's website. Normal pick-up games as well as organized online tournaments are all planned, with White Wolf providing real world prize support for the tournaments. "Vampire's player community literally spans the world from Singapore to Prague to LA. We're looking forward to hosting some exciting international events and tournaments using the online platform," said Steve Wieck, White Wolf's VP of Card Games. There will be a nominal monthly cost for play which will give players access to all of the active cards. Initially all cards from the Camarilla Edition set will be available for play with more expansions added after launch. Online players will be able to construct and save decks, as well as share them with other players. Vampire: The Eternal Struggle celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Designed by Richard Garfield, designer of Magic: The Gathering®, VTES allows players to pit clans of vampires against one another in a mix of intrigue and action. Two special 100-card Tenth Anniversary Packs, complete with exclusive carrying tins, are available this November.
