I'm currently in the process of creating my own game using the First Star Online engine created by Slim. To answer your question, yes it is up and running right now, but I'm still mapping, and I always will be adding more maps. Just download the client, boot it up and see if it's playable if not wait a few more days then try again. Now futhermore about the game...In Travels of Narcatia you can kill monsters by melee attacks, ranged, or magical attacks. You can also build skills such as farming, blacksmithing, marital arts, cooking, carpentry, and many others. This is a -freelanced- rpg, you decide your own fate.

If you've never played on a FSO server before I suggest you try it and expirence it first hand, cause it truely is one of the most opened freelance rpgs I've ever encounted with almost endless possiblities. I can only hope my server is as fun as some of the servers I've played on.
