Mythic Oerth takes place on the second oldest Dungeons and Dragons campaign world, Gary Gygax's Greyhawk. Our adventures are a combination of role playing and large scale military battles. For roleplaying adventure, look for the classic D&D modules to be included in Mythic Oerth such as Against the Giants, Castle Amber, Against the Cult of the Reptile God, etc. As you journey through dungeons and dangerous locales, you try to acquire as much gold as possible to build your stronghold and field an army consisting of swordsmen, pikemen, cavalry, archers, wizards and siege weapons. You can build your stronghold anywhere on Mythic Oerth. Defend your stronghold or launch attacks against neighboring NPC castles or PC owned strongholds. Pool your gold together as a guild and build a mighty army to dominate the region! Our large scale battles take place in our battle rooms with a Dungeon Master and the turn by turn tactics you specify. We will be having our big launch Sat. Aug 7th at 2pm EST.

Oerth was the first. Some will say it was Faerun, but it really doesn't matter at the end of the day.
Pretty sure Gygax had never heard of Faerun in the 70's when he was developing the game. The first modules were set in Oerth. The Blackmoor D&D expansion from 30 years ago was set in north Oerth.
