Ah, Lost Vikings. How we enjoyed playing as Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout back in the day -- specifically, back in 1992. As a game it was unique in that you played as all three Vikings at once, switching between each character as the situation demanded. As an MMO such a feature could be used to spice up the tried-and-true fantasy genre a bit. Character creation could task players with designing three separate characters, picking their classes and then jumping into the game with all three at the same time. Strangely enough this type of MMO has already been created with Sword of the New World: Granado Espada -- so maybe somebody was taking notes back in 1992. Well, we bet there isn't a class in Granado Espada that has a shield you can hang-glide on, so hah!
