Tribes RPG Is a medieval themed free online RPG (similar to free-to-play MMORPGs, although not quite as many players).

Tribes RPG is a modification for Starsiege: Tribes which thoroughly converts the First Person Shooter into a Role Playing Game using swords, magic, and bows instead of guns. Generally on RPG servers you select one of several different classes, which usually determine how quickly different skills advance, and certain traits (rangers can sleep in "unknown" areas). You can then explore a large world, containing various dungeons and towns, populated with various types of monsters and NPCs, respectively.

Tribes RPG was originally created by someone named Mathieu Bouchard (who identified online at the time as "JeremyIrons"). He left the scene around 2002, and around the same time I came along and started hosting a server.

Most RPG mod servers are unique, as Tribes and the RPG mod are naturally very modifiable.
