I'm Francis and it's my first post here on n4g. 
I want to share the word for an upcoming game currently developed by J Todd Coleman (Shadowbane, Wizard101), Gordon Walton (Ultima Online, Star Wars: the Old Republic, Star Wars Galaxy) with the collaboration of Raph Koster (Star Wars Galaxy, Everquest II, Ultima Online).
The game is a mix between MMORPG and strategy game. It's PvP (action combat) and Crafting (player driven economy) oriented.
From what I've understood, players enter the game and select a type of World : 3-Factions war (order, chaos and balance), 12 factions war (allegiances to one of the 12 Gods), Guilds vs. Guilds and FFA. Each of those worlds last for 1 month to 1 year. Victory conditions and other rules are different from one world to the other. All those worlds are ephemeral. Player's characters are persistent and will progress through a complex system of character advancement. Eternal Kingdoms are the permanent worlds and they're owned and managed by players (buildings, markets, guilds, taxes, fealty tree, sieges, crafting, etc.)
It features destructible environment and worlds (VoxelFarm), physics (gravity, inertia, collision, etc.), procedurally generated terrains, Unity 5 engine.
update: Here's a video showing Siege Perilous, the current Pre-Alpha testing environment. Performances and graphics will improve! =)
