Woo! Party!

From Cyanide Studios (Chaos League, upcoming Blood Bowl) is this free to play MMO dealie.

Dungeon Party is a free online game that is played in teams. You are plunged into a totally crazy, heroic-fantasy world, where you compete in teams of heroes in dungeons full of deadly traps and awesome monsters to win the treasures they are trying so hard to hide.

In Dungeon Party, you create your character and customize him using a vast range of different outfits and items. From the enthusiastic wizard to the wise-guy thief, via the executioner who ain't exactly a sweet old grandma, anything goes! Each player equips his character with various objects and weapons before sending him into battle against the different teams.

You will have to develop your character during the matches and select his spells and special abilities very carefully to maximize his efficiency in the team.
The games have been spiced up; the dungeons are riddled with hundreds of deadly traps and there are some mighty strange creatures roaming around. These critters will make no distinction whatsoever between the teams and will prove to be ferocious protectors of the treasure!

Killing the monsters will give you bonus experience points that are essential for buying new spells at the earliest opportunity. The bosses and mini-bosses will also give you a whole heap of trouble, but they carry an even greater number of bonus experience points and, more importantly, will earn you the favors of the chest!

Organize yourselves into guilds so that you and your friends can help each other, and use the level editor to create your own dungeons and then share them with your friends and the community.

You know, it's funny how they put out a blurb like that and sort of entirely gloss over the stuff that makes the game seem unique and cool while making it sound like every other RPG ever made.  I imagine the humor and fun of it all is going to be a big selling point, you'd think they'd point that out more.
