Publisher's description of Turf Battles
Turf Battles offers fast-paced and rich PvP and PvE (Player vs Environment) in MMORPG. As the name implies, Turf Battles's PvP centers around the turfs, areas that can be owned by tribes. A turf can produce unique gems and items that are available almost entirely only in that turf. A turf battle happens twice a day per turf and the winner of the turf battle gets to hunt for the unique gems of the turf for the next 24 hours. There will be more than a dozen turfs and each turf has a unique geography making each turf battle like no other.
Turf Battles PvE is beyond the traditional repetitive monster killing. Players have the option of fighting easier monsters and level up with predictability. For those who like challenges and unpredictability from monsters, they can take missions to seek out and destroy armies of monsters. Turf Battles is free to join and free to play forever.

Version: Turf Battles 1
Pros: Turf Battles is one of the top MMORPG's out there. With limitless possibilities, imaginative surroundings, and a great musical score (where music is not found, the background sound effects are awesome) available that is left to amaze any player. If you have ever played the beta version of Ferentus (which has now been wiped off the face of the planet momentarily), you will recognize the controls and such are quite similar. This game offers many familiar features such as guilds, parties, currency, shops, and races and classes to customize your character from. Unlike Runescape (which is also nice, but the graphics leave much to be desired...), you can choose the class (special skills) and race (ethnic background) of your character. You can also have more than one character while only in one account, giving you the chance to start over without deleting characters completely.
The graphics by themselves are very good; textures are nice, the movements are wonderful- and the emotes you can choose from are outstanding and well-animated. It is a complicated game, though not complicated to play.
Detailed parts of the game:
When your weapons are not engaged, you run faster.
Different monsters grant you with different items.
Recieving different items depends on your level.
And many others yet to be discovered...
Easy gameplay features:
Easy click-and-hold on the monster you choose to fight for an automatic lock-on.
Shops are sorted by job class for simple shopping for weapons and such.
Difficulty of fighting is displayed by the color of the monsters' title. Difficulty changes with each gained level.
Defeat monsters, do quests, or engage in PvP for experience.
And so much, much more...
In short, the game's more wonderful features are numerous and bountiful, but...
Cons: Although this game is very wonderful, it is TOO much like Ferentus, and therefore is put down because Ferentus's graphics were a portion better. It's graphics also seem a bit juvenile, with it's bright color scheme; unlike Ferentus, which housed a more natural tone: darker colors and more neutrals. This game is truly wonderful besides these few points:
When walking backwards, the character's legs are moving as if they were walking forward.
Water is not properly designed for interaction between objects and characters, and some water you can't even go into.
No tutorial provided immediately after initialization in the game. I was forced to press buttons for awhile before reaching a help menu.
Friend system is poor. Unlike Ferentus, Turf Battles is more set on your own personal gain. The only text I ever saw in the chat window was "PARTY PLZ" and "SELLING KNIGHT BOOTS" and of the like.
Leveling system is a bit unbalanced compared to other games. Unlike Runescape and Ferentus, a level 30 character is a MAJOR newbie.
Newbies are restricted. There are many things you have to earn in order to gain access to things (Player-vs-player modes, etc...) and are limited to certain advantages. I.E: There are training areas for certain classes that will boost your level up alot, but you have to be a certain (very high) level to use these features.
Real-world buying of certain currency in the game limits players to certain advantages.
This game is limited by many factors; but hopefully, Turf Battles' creator(s) will learn and take advice, and fix these problems, so Turf Battles is perfect!!! It's almost there, already!

Version: Turf Battles 1
Pros: the servers are fast, and it only take like a minute tops to log in and start playing. good graphics and sfx, plenty of newby help ull be up atleast 30lvs on the first day if u ask the right people and its pretty addictive thanks to things like pets and HAVING to get to the next skill
Cons: they need to add more events for the game to have more things to do besides level up and smoke newbs, or another race to rage war against instead of just tribe wars but the game is pretty new so join in and itll get better with time as they already have.
