A Kickstarter campaign is underway for an MMO with a Jane Austen theme.
Called "Ever, Jane", it is a virtual world based on the works of Jane Austen. Unlike a more traditional MMO where fighting and gear acquisition are first and foremost, this is an MMO about "playing the actual character in the game, building stories."*
From what I can tell, the emphasis is on activities in Regency England at the time, such as balls/parties, gossiping/sleuthing, hunting, and other activities. The thrust is to emphasize roleplaying while allowing a player's actions to help shape the story.
It sounds like an ambitious project, and if people are interested they can check out the Kickstarter campaign to view the video as well as download the prototype. There's a lot of work ahead for their development team, but I wish them well.
EDIT: Here's the video from the Kickstarter:
