IGG has published an overview at the ATB, or Active Time Battle, turn based combat system in Myth War II.

As is known to all, the battle system is one of most important elements in a turn based online game. However the battle systems in traditional turn based online games is kind of boring because we always need to wait for our turn to take an action. Today the Myth War (http://mw2.igg.com/) team is going to introduce the world's first unique ATB turn based battle system to us.

When a battle is beginning, the ATB bar starts to accumulate energy. We can't take any actions until the ATB bar is full. Neither can our enemies (monsters and players). This is totally different from the traditional turn based battle system. The ATB system requires us to make quick and wise decisions in a battle, which makes the battle more exciting and extreme.
