You mention a Viking zone, and the first thing that comes to mind...

The knight in blue on the left is Hector, the Hammerfall mascot. Think Eddie from Iron Maiden. He's the protagonist in the situation on the album and he's fighting the odd looking guy on the left god knows why.
Also, since I'm in a Hammerfall mood, I give Natural High. Looking at that music video and several of their album covers are the reason I want more options than just the warhammer for medieval hammer type weapons.
P.S. We need that viking/medieval zone pronto. Devs get on that.

Let's get back to the comicbook basics shall we? Space zone is much more necessary than anything to do with Vikings.

Hammerfall's okay though. ^_^ They're not really a viking metal band, they're a power metal band, but that's fine, I like that too.

I've been looking for a picture to post of this, but am failing miserably. You can't go wrong with space vikings, especially those whose longship is so huge other ships bounce off of it like bugs on a windshield.

Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
Space zone sounds so epically boring.
Maybe in REAL LIFE it would be cool... but for avatars in a game, I dont think it will be as awesome as people think. Kinda like lemuria was a good idea on paper, but in reality >.> not so much.
I agree....but only because im an Scandinavian 
CoX for life !!
I approve this suggestion!

I'd be content with Ninja Dinosaurs I guess, though perhaps I would like MechaDinosaurs better.
Still not down with more fantay or mystic zones - at least on the hero side. One ancient history is enough for now. I'd rather see a Western (aka Cowboys) zone than a Viking zone - at least the weaponry varies greater than Vikings vs Romans. If it has to be another sword swinging zone, at least place it in Asia or South America - an Aztec zone could be pretty cool (if we are going to completely avoid the results of the polls), but I guess we already have that kind of landscape in on villain side...those pyramids are in Nerva? I just don't get over there that often.

I would like a fantasy zone where people who play elves and fairys can feel at home...and those who don't like them can run in with power armor, assault rifles and pistols mowing down fantasy minions by the bushel.
I'd love to see a medieval Scandinavian zone and be able to have my characters live like my Norwegian ancestors did.
I would love to see a haunted amusement park, so all my dead and half dead characters could take a ride on the ferris wheel or maybe a crickety old wooden roller coaster.

I'd like a medieval zone to be non-co-op, but non-PvP too - with the missions each side gets affecting the landscape like the scenery in RV.
There'd be like a good area with a castle where Heroes would help out, and an evil area with a castle where Villains would help out - and between the two castles would be a big forest, which would change in looks and mob types depending on the outcome of the missions the Heroes and Villains were doing.

Unsigned. All the Viking proponents I've ever met in life have been ********, racists, and racist ********. I detest Vikings.

Not the same thing. Duck Dim Sum is probably referring to "Odinists" as many in the US tend to self-identify. Bear in mind that they do not necessarily have any ancestors from Scandinavia or Germany, but simply consider themselves the spiritual descendants of vikings. Very frequently also involved with or sympathetic to white supremacist and similar racist ideologies. Not all Odinists i've met are racist bigots, but in the US i will concede it seems to be a magnet for them, and that at least 75% of those i've met who identify themselves as such have been.|

Why? Because they propose that their race is superior to others while at the same time most of them are examples that could be used as proof AGAINST the superiority of their race.
Quote:
Pretty much. I realize that not all Viking descendants and fans have this mindset, but the overwhelming majority of Viking-happy folks that I've met have been absolutely deplorable white supremacists. The whole culture has taken on a very sour taste for me since then, which doubly sucks because I used to have a great love for Norse mythology. |

Take advantage of the new reflection system in GR! Make a room of mirrors! Could you imagine the sight you'ld see?!
You walk into a room, you THINK you see like 50 enemies. Only in reality, there is 3! Just to make it a bit better too, they are ALL targetable! [mirrors class as objects and must be destroyed to get rid of the reflection, though obviously reflections dont do damage! only the real one does!]

A viking zone in Rhode Island is not as far fetched as it might seem.
