Warhammer Online?

One of the largest draws of Games Workshop's games is its intellectual property itself.  Within each game, dozens of factions both unique in appearance and play style compete with one another.  Each faction is richly developed, and has at this point more than twenty years of fiction tying it into a cohesive universe in which no faction is strictly "good," but is primarily vying for survival.  Each faction is nuanced to the point where you can see factions within factions, moving in directions that the core faction may not explore.  Both Fantasy and 40k have had video games attempting to capitalize on it, but while Dawn of War was largely successful, Fantasy has not had similar success.
