The website of Ars technica released an article about a new MMO made by Quakers. This game seems be a great different from with any other MMO games on the market recently and was expected to launch in December for both the PC and Mac.

The details are as below:

A good deal of MMO game play revolves around combat. Whether it's World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online, or Age of Conan, at some point in the game you will be killing waves of rats in order to level up. But, if you're looking for something a little more peaceful, or maybe something with a little religious twist, then you may want to check out the creatively titled World of Peacecraft.

The game is being created by The Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. WoP will attempt to bring traditional Quaker values into the MMO space¡ªfor those of you wondering just how that could be turned into a game, here's a brief description from The Click Heard Round the World:

Different quests will take you back in time in Quaker history, according to the notice.  You begin in 17th Century England, as you walk in the shoes of Quaker founder George Fox, preaching against the evils of war and unjust rule, meeting in clandestine locations to avoid persecution, and facing beatings and imprisonment at every turn. Then you are transported to the early 1800s in the United States, helping shepherd escaped slaves to freedom as part of the Underground Railroad. Later quests involve you in the women's suffrage movement, the civil rights movement, and the anti-death penalty and anti-war protests of today.
