For some reason this game really has me interested. Ive yet to find a MMO that has the kick ass PvP fun that DAoC had, but this game seems to have some promise. I like the idea that this is server vs server.
oh and its using the Unreal 3 Engine.
Heres a link to the beta application.

The Game:
Fury is a game that defies definition. This is an experience unlike any other massively multiplayer game ever made - in battle, the pacing is pure adrenaline and action, and between battles you'll find depth and flexibility beyond that of any other RPG. Team up with your friends, Clanmates and Realmmates to battle for glory against hundreds of thousands of players.
Re-defining PvP Combat
Combat in Fury is easily the fastest RPG combat ever seen, and the action is utterly relentless. Fury is about jumping into the mayhem and immediately smashing your opponents, instant re-spawning means no waiting before getting straight back into the thrill of battle! A refined matchmaking system ensures you'll always face-off against opponents of equal skill and playing experience. Even defeat will often result in you developing your character and earning rewards. Fury provides four unique battle types that range in scale from 8 to 64 players - you can choose to play solo, or join teams of up to 32 players. Teamwork, strategy, tactics and communication are just as vital to winning as the power of your character.
Customize your Spells and Skills
Fury introduces a totally classless advancement system, meaning you will never have to make a decision that can ruin your character. As you unlock new abilities you can rearrange your quickbar with any combination of spells or melee skills you've gained. The only limitation is your Characters' ranking, which determines how many equip points you can use at one time. Fury's 4 Elemental Schools and 8 Combat Disciplines feature over 400 different abilities - and your character can gain them all! This allows for literally millions of different possible combinations. Your character can save up to 255 unique combinations of armor, weapons, items, spells and abilities in templates we call Incarnations.
The Evolution of Team Based Play
Fury not only challenges the world of PvP, it redefines the idea of the "game world" itself. Instead of facing one or two opposing Realms or Factions within a single server, you are pitted against dozens of other Realms (servers). Once you have chosen your home Realm, you can form up into groups, teams, and Clans (guilds) within your Realm, then vie for supremacy against all others. Tens of thousands of players can exist upon a single Realm, so you'll find no shortage of enemies or allies. Who will emerge as the leaders of each Realm, rallying thousands of players into the most epic battles ever seen?
Fury is the Ultimate Player vs. Player experience. Coming Q4 2007.
