Any good open source online RPG starter kit for development ?

Question

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a good open source toolkit that allows level designer and graphic designer or someone with basic programming experience to create multiplayer online Role Playing Game ? The game can be a simple 2D interface in a 2d virtual world.

I know Microsoft have a starter kit something like the following :

http://creators.xna.com/en-US/starterkit/roleplayinggame

that allows developer to create RPG game running on XBox platform but i am looking more on multiplayer role playing game on the web platform where player can play directly with their browser.

regards Andrew

• ECLIPSE MMORPG creator

Also as a stand-alone game developer (which i presume you are) i would suggest You go through these for a good grasp of the challenges ahead:

• Game Development & Production

• Game Developer's Open Source Handbook

Feel free to contact me here for more info. Having developed a couple of (offline) games as a hobby, i would be more than happy to share some of my exp in game-dev.
