I found a new game, hope nobody has posted this before xD
http://www.wildwestonline.com/
sry no screenshot yet
but here is the concept art 
Description:
Tenderfoot Games™ announces that it will publish Wild West Online™, the first massively multiplayer game set in the rough and tumble American Wild West.
Wild West Online™ will capture the authentic feel of the Wild West with numerous scenarios based on history and fiction. Players will experience intense situations reminiscent of famous stories including corral shootouts, bank and stage robberies, bounty hunting quests and easily recognizable set scenarios inspired by sources like “The Magnificent Seven”, “High Noon” and “Tombstone.”
Players will be able to have showdowns — tension filled mano-a-mano contests between gunfighters that will have a higher level of adrenaline than an open gunfight. They will also be able to join gangs, form posses, hunt, explore and play in highly crafted environments that will provide an authentic open range feel. Wild West Online™ will also support a robust and exciting economy with players having the option to purchase objects, skills, and abilities otherwise only accessible through game play.
Wild West Online™ will be faithful to the Western mystique we all grew up with as kids,” said Mike Reynolds, game designer at Tenderfoot Games. “The American frontier culture is an important part of our history, so we are working hard to re-create that atmosphere and to honor the mythology from which so many modern fiction settings drew inspiration.”

MMO Pitch LOL!!!

.... *reserves the name "Chuck Noris" >_>
------------------------------
I'll raise you that Chuck with a Lee Van Cleef. But on the subject of the game, I'm hoping it's not going to be a rehashed "hand-holder," which seems to be the popular way to go.
anyone watched Shanghai Noon?
It would be awesome if there is kungfu in the game too xD
MMO Pitch LOL!!!
I will raise that Lee Van Cleef with a Liberty Valance. HAH
I wonder if that means purchase as with real money? It sure sounds like it does.
I've never played one of these type games before (similar to the system Roma Victor uses?), but then again, I've never heard of objects or skills being sold for real money either. Just in game gold. Anyway..., I'm always willing to take a look at a MMORPG when it gets released. Until then I just don't get too excited about anything anymore.
Will there be brothels?
AND BAR FIGHTS !!! I wanna get drunk on whiskey and kick ass !!!
YES! I can play a buxom middle-aged madam with a brothal plus bar and gambling games. >:3

Man, I really don't want to get my hopes up but I am definity interested and will keep an eye on this.
Thanks for the link OP
"Hey, whats a guy gotta do to get a proper poke around here?" (dialog from the PC version of GUN, a western shooter)
I know, but i couldn't find that option, so i had to settle. :P
------------------------------
if this is not a FPS then this game should burn in hell.
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds
-Solid non level based game
-Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
If this is an item shop game or RMT designed like Roma Victor, forget it, I'll pass.
Very interesting, was wondering when a mmo about the wild west would come out. I'll keep an eye on this; hope it has some sandbox elements. gunslinging priest.. mmmm

I would love to see a Wild West MMORPG. All skill driven with title unlocking once you had the right skills.
Example: You unlock 10 Rifle skills, you get the Pony Express Title. Or you unlock 10 pistol skills , your a Gunfighter.
Or you unlock 10 Whore skills, well your a whore. You get where I am going with this?
Seriously, I would love to see this. I think the only draw back, would be kids wanting to play it. My son is 6 and Call of Juarez is one of his favorites.
Who could pass up cowboys and indians?
Definately needs to have FPS Controls.
LucasArts' Outlaws was one of the most entertaining FPS games I have ever played. Since then, I always thought a MMORPG in a western setting would be cool. Though I have to agree this begs for some juicy sandbox elements and solid crafting.
Incidentally, I would not mind being a wagonmaster myself
This game has RMT and offline shops for game items that is a total con IMO!! and anyone supporting out of game purchase shops is a fool.
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Well Frontier 1859 is still in the paper and pencil mode while it waits for angels to invest in the project.

Time will tell, but here is another article on them that I found.
Tenderfoot Games Announces the Development of Wild West Online
Tenderfoot Games announces development of "Wild West Online" a Massively Multiplayer Game.
today that it is developing the world's first Massively Multiplayer Online Game based in the American west of the 1880s. Players will be able to create their own Wild West mythology using a wide array of realistic settings, goods, and weapons.
Wild West Online (wildwestonline.com) will appeal to a diverse player base, with a strong focus on accessibility to mainstream consumers who may never have played an online MMO before. Wild West Online will attract a range of players, from aficionados of Westerns who have long dreamt of immersing themselves in the old west, to those who simply want a good shootout. Game settings range from frontier camps on the edge of civilization, to prosperously growing towns and cities.
The game will feature scenarios based on history and myth, permanent and pick-up teams seeking wealth and notoriety, as well as solo play for lone wolves seeking individual fame. Players can advance their abilities to open up new game play options. They can buy goods, important objects and, with them, new skills and abilities.
Wild West Online is due to launch in the fourth quarter of 2008.
This December, Tenderfoot Games will release "Wild West Online: Gunfighter," a free single player or multiplayer online game that will introduce one of the elements of Wild West Online--the classic showdown-at-high-noon that has always been an exciting element of Western fiction. Wild West Online: Gunfighter is designed to appeal to players seeking to become the Bill Hickocks, Wyatt Earps, or the Doc Hollidays of the online world.
Wild West Online: Gunfighter will offer budding shootists the opportunity to develop their skills, abilities, and their distinctive look and style. Players will be able to duel each other in a player-versus-player game that is easy to learn, but offers surprising depth of play. "Gunfighter" features dozens of classic encounter locations from both fiction and cinema.
