There is an official Pathfinder MMORPG on its way.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...echnology-demo

Pathfinder for those unaware is the open source game D&D 3.5 turned into after the marketing whizz kids at Hasbro stuffed up official D&D 4.0 by creating a childish tabletop cross between WoW and Warhammer where players got to be "awesome and cool" from day one. The theory was it would sell more books to snotty nosed early teens, it probably did but traditional D&D fans abandoned it in droves.

In other words Pathfinder is oldschool D&D, where players need to know what they are doing to survive and never get handed all sorts of magical cheats from day one. Hopefully the online version of Pathfinder will carry this through and make it a game worth playing.
