Firstly, the rules of the disease.

• You can get it if you are bitten by a vampire, both NPC and Player
• You have 14 real days to get cured/purified (or whatever the historical cure is called)
• After 14 days, you start to turn into a vampire. The process is slow, but once the process has started after those 14 days have passed, there is no going back. It is to late, hence the reason for a long incubation period, giving you enough time to get a cure. Its now a genuine lifestyle choice.

The advantages.

• Increased strength
• Increased agility
• Night vision (toggleable)
• Flight (over time, you will change deeper into a vampire form, eventually growing wings - although this is an advanced elder vampire)
• Large buff after feeding on a player

The disadvantages.

• Can only venture outside at night (between 18:00 - 06:00, else burn, burn, burn)
• All factions become hostile when you are clearly a grown vampire
• You must feed on a human player for every 24 hours logged in (else, massive debuff)
• Will be damaged in an area when faced with usual vampire killing tools, garlic, crosses etc.

Basically, you get massive advantages for massive disadvantages. Vampires should be a choice, not a cool feature. Part of me thinks that a vampire should be one of the only classes to get permadeath if driven through with a stake by another player, but that is probably to much.

So, yes or no for vampires that are actually more than a paler texture with red eyes?

You should mention that none of those ideas are yours ,that you took them from elder scrolls oblivion.Tbh,vampire might become pre-CU SWG jedi,wich isnt good,alpha classes are never good in a mmog.
