OP here
DAoC is pretty much the most norse-themed MMO i've come across so far. Then there's also GW2 where you can play as a member of the viking faction, but DAoC seems to be pretty much exclusively dedicated to norse culture and lore, at least on the server/realm listed below. Too bad they won't drop the monthly WoW-style fee, or else i'd give it a try for sure.
>Midgard is one of Dark Age of Camelot's three playable realms. The realm of Midgard is based around Nordic folklore and legends, and is covered with snowy mountains, numerous lakes, and pine tree forests. A hammer is the symbol of Midgard, as is the color blue. >Jordheim is Midgard's mighty capitol city. http://darkageofcamelot.wikia.com/wiki/Realm_of_Midgard No.994

Celtic Kings - Rage of war.
RTS game made in 2002 by haemimont games who now make the tropico series.
It's a great rts/resource management game where you can have hundreds of soldiers playing as either vikings(gauls) or romans.
It's very polished and one of my favourite games from my childhood.

Dude, MMO's are a waste of time. The whole game you spend grinding, with the promise of an endgame that is always just more grinding, the fun part never kicks in and even worse they usually make you pay for that shit regularly.

Age of Conan was a great MMO and I think is the most Norsepilled of the MMOs but it suffers from the same bullshit. But the fighting mechanic is pretty good so is the story. I just wish it were not dying as it is though. Guild cities were the best part about it IMO.

Anyway like someone said, the Japs usually do a good job of doing respectful representations. Like Dark Souls did.
Despite its not exactly topical, its interesting to note people who worshiped multiple Gods in antiquity were more willing to believe in the existence of other peoples Gods, even if in their mind they were depowered and not worth worshiping. The "only our god exists" mentality was more of an Abrahamic thing.

That anon here, posting from my phone.
Klefki's origin is less Norse specifically and more of a general Pagan thing. According to Bulbapedia, Kelfki may be based off the pagan tradition of blaming the loss of small things like keys or shoes on the mischief of faries and similar creatures. I've gotten into the bad habit of occasionally associating general pagan shit with Asatru and Norse tradition by default. Pardon my fuck-up.
