Ryan Dancey, former CMO at CCP Games, has created a new development studio called Goblinworks. According to a report at Gamasutra, Dancey and his team are working on a new MMO based on the Pathfinder table top games.
Dancey has revealed that the team's goal is to bring a "table top experience" to MMO players in the form of a sandbox MMO with players exploring the Three Rivers areas as featured in the original games released in 2009.

On the Goblinworks site, fans can read more about the Pathfinder Online MMO.
Pathfinder Online is a hybrid sandbox/theme park-style MMO roleplaying game where characters explore, develop, and dominate the River Kingdoms, a treacherous no-man's-land of squabbling kingdoms on the edge of wilderness. Players explore, adventure, develop, and dominate their domains by playing fighters, rogues, wizards, or any of Pathfinder's many character types, or they can use the game's archetype system go beyond the standard options to create nearly any sort of character imaginable.
