I call it "creative", or perhaps "less lazy" :P
Seriously, it's just a fantasy world. The reason that name doesn't seem to do it justice is because 99% of all "fantasy worlds" go for the same "medieval earth + magic" setting. Maybe out of lazyness, maybe to be more familiar, who knows?
Fact is though, the definition of a fantasy world is one that is different from ours. Ryzom just took the "different" a lot further than most fantasy world dare to.
