Earthrise is an upcoming Sci-Fi MMORPG by Bulgarian Masthead Studios that has apparently been in development for 2 years and was officially announced only last month. At first glance, it appears to be very PvP-friendly.
Some key things I noticed when reading a bit on their site:
- no instancing
- no hard-coded safe zones (I assume they mean there'll be relatively safe areas like cities where you'll get raped by NPC guards if you try to PK)
- full loot drop on death except "insured" items, unless you pay some huge fee after death to get the item back (i.e. insuring items you want is encouraged)
- skill based system (not class based) with an unannounced twist
- beta targetting this summer/fall
Other neat things:
- post-apocalyptic sci-fi: guns, hover boards, power armour and mechs!
- open explorable world as opposed to WoW-like railroaded tour from level 1 to 70
- "territorial conquest"
- "deep crafting system"
- proprietary engine
