Palia, the Animal Crossing Style MMO Polygon

Palia is an upcoming game with a rather interesting pitch. Singularity 6 is a team of veterans from game titans such as Riot Games, Blizzard Entertainment, and Zynga. Singularity 6 aims to offer a cozy experience with friends centered around farming, decorating, and developing interpersonal relationships with other players.
