Looks very interesting. Rather than starting out as a lowly level 1 player who can't fight a moss snake, you begin the game as a god and get better from there :)

It's by Micro$oft, which isn't exactly thrilling to me, but the game looks promising.

No wonder Funcom canned its own Midgard game. (Or whatever the name of it was -- I can't remember, but it was the same theme.)
