Vampires who have been embraced in the modern nights are well aware of the
advantage and luxury the Internet can provide. Not long after the first
Bulletin Board Service was released in the 1980's, the young among the
undead have used it for various purposes. Sometimes the young Vampires
would need an escape, to be able to talk to human being without the constant
urging of the beast clouding their mind. They found anonymity in the text
scrolling down their screens. For the first time, Vampires from around the
world would stumble across others who also sought refuge from the Danse
Macabre. During its inception, the Internet was a place where young
Vampires sought one another out to share their experiences and their secrets
without the threat of the Predators Taint or the dangers inherent in the
meeting of two Vampires.
During the 1990's, more Vampires were embraced into a dark feudal world that
scarcely resembled the technological age they left behind. Many would seek
out the freedom of the Internet to keep their sanity, to touch briefly a
part of their former lives. This went on without much notice from the
movers and shakers in the Vampire world. Let them waste their time pecking
away on their keyboards, the city and its politics were much more important.
As time passed for the mortal world, the Vampires who had seen decades and
centuries pass were hard pressed to keep up. The young, still full of the
imagination and knowledge they held while alive had found a different domain
to lord over.
There are many different methods that are used by the young Vampires to
communicate and socialize. The Requiem.net server isn't the only way, but
it is one of the more popular. Run by a collection of different vampires
across the Clan and Covenant spectrum, none try and claim sole command
of the cyberspace that has become a refuge. All are welcome here, but only
after some established member has vouched for the authenticity of the new
arrival. Even as the old and powerful Vampires begin to see the
possibilities of using such communication, they for the most part ignore the
underground server and it's chat rooms. This is a place for the young,
built by the young.
