a nice simulation, nice people (though they're not too clever

) and a nice form of living...
but i d like to know is the place really L.A.? i mean districts, streets, places...

I think they - or most of them - do not play this game, it's rated 17+ or 18+

i just mean it is horrible to be a role-play vampire in a city every night, and go to school/work/etc next morning in the same city...

if such places really exist in l.a. who will take a room in Empire Hotel? or having a weekend in Griffith park would not be cool anymore...:mischief:

Generally, it's a made up setting, and shares little with reality other than names like "Santa Monica." There are broad similarities - the "hollywood hills" in the game resembles the real-life hills - but if you walk around the real Santa Monica, you would not find the neighborhood your vampire's apartment is in. There's no Empire Arms hotel that I know of, no Trip's pawnshop, no Fu Syndicate or Kamikaze Zen, etc.

In some places, though, it's a wee bit closer to reality than others: [url="http://www.griffithobs.org/"]Griffith Observatory Home Page[/url].
