Unfortunely, the actualy japanese wizardry games (of which only one got released here) had basically no fantasy elements. Good games though.

I thought that they have had basically no sci-fi elements, though? Isn't the Wizardry Online all about stupid fantasy dungeon delving tropes to the maximum?

Not really. Wizardy actualy had a fair bit of sci fi elements ingrained in its plot. At least I'm fairly certain that wizardry 6, 7 and 8 (known as the savant trilogy) had quite a few sci fi elements to it. But yea, like someone else said previously, wizardy is weird in that it makes the fantasy elements more powerful and more obvious then the sci fi ones. You only get to see the sci fi elements later on. Kinda like some might and magic games.

In contrast to this, the japanese wizardry games (which were pure dungeon crawlers) used fantasy elements exclusively, with no sci fi elements at all. Of course, those games have no real connection to the western wizardry games, plot/character wise, sooooo yea.

Its a absurdly fat ferret then.

So, apparently a california state attorney aide is being accused of being part of a 3000 year masonic cabal or something.

I tried this a gooooood while ago when it was just released and, while I liked it, the game just basically dumped everything on you and told you to have fun, and I didn't have enough time to pick up and learn how to properly play it, so I left. I might go back to it and actualy learn how to do things and etc. It looks pretty fun, and I like muds that let me do my own thing and create stuff and find ways to survive in the wilderness.

Yea, there's actualy tons of cool things in the 40k universe that require progression to happen. The 40k universe isn't centered around the emperor vs chaos conflict (despite what fanboys and pretty much any 40k based game developer likes to say), and there's tons of ways insane shit can happen that can possibly break the stalemate.
The eldar have both cegoragh and the artificial god they're creating by siphoning their dead souls into their craftwords and whats left of the webway;
There's the tyranids going around as a near infinite wave tearing shit up;
There's many primarchs which are possibly alive and waiting for a cue to return (leman russ, jaghatai khan, vulkan, corvus corax, maybe robot girlyman too);
Non imperial factions like the illuminati;
The necrons, both awakened and unawakened;
Mars and the void dragon;
Chaos primarchs/people which could cause a lot of shit if they stopped being two dimensional villains (magnus, lorgar, magnus, abbadon the armless, MAGNUS).

Games worshop will just keep milking the stalemate forever, I guess.

While gamesworkshop isn't exactly known for their ability to end the storylines of their games, they could at least indicate what happens when the emperor finally dies, IE terra is swallowed by infinite warpstorms/a new chaos god is born/the emperor reunites with the fragments of his soul and is reborn into a badass chaos mauling gigasoul/leman russ comes back and dances a tango with a daemonette/nurgle becomes infinitely more powerful/etc.

Poland becomes polandball, and most countries seem to have their own skins.
