Real World sucks! Go WOK.
The world has been totally destroyed. And you are waking up after your Cryo pod had a malfunction. You arrives in this small village where people are in survival mode, they have lost their history and lost the knowledge. WOK is a 4km2 procedural island with hundred thousands trees, rocks and place to visit. Located in East Asia, it is a virtual world, multiplayer, where you can meet others, drink beer, smoke pot, and bang Lili the local prostitute. It is the world we all dream to live in. We know the real world sucks, but WOK, is freedom. It is a free speech place, with monsters to kill, friends to meet and unlimited fun!
No classes, you are what you are doing, like in the real life.
No need to select a class, your abilities are building by using things. Let say that you have a sword, the more you use it, the better you are. Until you become a master and can teach others (in exchange of money). Everything is working this way. Your only characteristics are your life, your energy, your reputation. For the rest, it is based on your competences. You can master wizardry and fighting, it all depends on you.
Modern and Medieval at the same time.
WOK is in the future and there are still some things that are working. Some NPC have specific tech knowledge, and electricity is not stable but available.
At the same time, because people have lost everything, they have forgotten most of the modern things, and are like in the medieval times. The radiations have created many mutants that are exactly the same as in the fantasy worlds of Tolkien.
You can fight Orcs with an AK-47.
