Midgard was always my favorite realm in DAOC, and Mythica looks to be kicking it up a notch, Emiril style. I'm not sure how they're going to deliver on their promise to avoid the "bunny killing" of other games. I mean, your character has to start somewhere, and no matter how much you dress up a low level creature, it's still a low level creature, and the underlying level treadmill remains the same.
The private realms seem promising though, although mightn't this disqualify the game from the first "M" in MMORPG? Oh well, I'm still looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.
Actually, when you spend money for software, in most cases you are not purchasing the software (code) itself, but a license allowing you to use the software (code) in the manner intended by the creator/distributor. That's why it's called an End User LICENSE Agreement. License doesn't equal ownership, merely permission to use something owned by someone else. The physical media the software was transmitted on/in (CD, jewelcase, box) becomes your property at the time of purchase, but the software (code) itself remains the property of the creator/distributor.
