Looking for an MMO

Hi
I was wondering if there are any MMO's around that focus on the Vikings and Norse mythology. It doesn't have to be solely about those things, but a game that features them more prominently than other MMO's. I just the Vikings would be a cool thing to create an MMO about and wondered if there are any that already exist, and if so I'll look into them.
Thanks for your help.

I can't think of one off the top of my head, however in DFO you get to rape, pillage and slaughter and one of the races is human and you have ships so set up a Viking clan?
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

DFO being Darkfall Online?
Yes, I wrote a short review of my first 24 hrs in the DFO forums here perhaps you should have a read?

Ok, I will do, thanks for the recommendation.
I've been wanting to give Darkfall a go for a while now, it's just ridiculously expensive to buy from the Darkfall EU website as the £ to euro conversion at the moment is rubbish.
Dark Age of Camelot's Midgard realm is based on that; a Midgard character can choose Norseman as his race and Viking as his class, and the rest of it is Norse based as well. DAoC is fairly old, with a shrinking player base, but there's still definitely life in it.
The only game I've played having something to do with Norse mythology is WotLK...
Mortal Online has lots of nordic lore and even a nordic race.
Due to release Q4 this year. You can start playing beta now if you preorder.
Never tried it myself, but look into Ragnarok Online.
Playing - FFXIV, ESO
Played - FFXI, WoW, Lineage 2, Guild Wars, Aion, SWToR, LotRO, GW2, TERA, Rift, ArcheAge, TSW
I have thought about this too.
Guild Wars Eye of the North, isn't really norse based but there is bosses that has gotten their names from norse mythology; Fenrir is wolf-boss, Jormungandr is a rare wurm boss, etc. And there is also lots of snow you see norns etc.. but nothing to do with Vikings.
Atlantica online, if I remember right you can hire Viking to your party and at higher levels you can go to scandinavia.. Sweden, Finland, Norway etc.. where is snow. I wasn't ever that far in the game so I'm not sure what you'll find there. But the game has "real" world map.
