Factions, a free Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game is now available for the Macintosh and PC. Using the First Star Online engine, Factions is a 2D RPG allowing real-time player interaction and combat. Players may pursue many career paths, own their own homes and shops, and participate in fantastic server-wide events.

Here's a description of the game from the official web site:

Each of the three factions on our world is vying for world dominance from their home islands.  If you join a faction, you will be able to improve certain skills - changing loyalties will allow you to hone all of your skills.  Once you think you are good enough, you may use the portal to transport yourself to the Upper Realm where tougher quests, more deadly monsters and other players will challenge all of the skills you learned in the Lower Realm.
