I want a game with true turn-based fighting and PvP

Is there anyone else who wishes this? I played Dofus (a cartoonish 2D mmorpg) and behind it's kiddy graphics and other childish aspects it had a true turn based fighting style. It was a sort of complicated chess, it even had squares. Now when I think of implementing this in a mmorpg I don't mean they should make the game 2D but it could implement something similar to KoToR and Fallout with a slick 3D look with movement and action points. If such a game already exists please point me to it, if not I would sure like to see one come out.

i'm still confused...
you want a turn based mmorpg?
hmm...i think that might actually be more boring than EVE...
seriously though, i don't see how it would work. do you mean combat or everything is turn based?

I meant just the combat Ashkent.
Everybody likes it their way, frankly I don't find it amusing when I lag out of control while the other guy's kicking my ass just because he has a better connection. If I want real time combat I'll play Gunz. 3 Hours of gunz and you can't feel your fingers.

I think he/she means like if you ever played Final Fantasy X (Huge success btw) had
turn based fighting, which I agree could be awesome and stratetig, while there was another
combat mode for pvp, maybe optional realtime or turn based. Unfortunetly I know of no game like
this though.
All Im saying is that if im fighting you and my connections fine and its your turn, lagging to hell. Ill be an upset player waiting 30 seconds for you to break through lag everytime your turn comes around
Check http://www.tacticaonline.com/ , I think it's in closed beta right now.
Thanks, I just registered for the beta, hope I get picked.

How would you pull off turn-based pvp?
You have to wait for other people to take their turn??? Then what happens if the other party sits there and doesn't take his turn? The fight takes hours?
I find that alot of games are slow paced enough that they're basically turn-based, where each "turn" consists of the 2 or 3 seconds it takes to swing your sword or cast your spell.
I didn't meant for this topic to be a pro and against turn-based combat, I just said that it would be to my liking, I really don't care if 90% of you wouldn't like such a game cause I would still enjoy it. And if you still feel the urge to post about such a game make sure you have a little experience with anything similar. Yes it is annoying when someone doesn't take it's turn but there's a time-limit for that. All in all I prefer to lay back and enjoy the choices and possibilities rather than just repeating the same action over and over again.

Yes I played them, didn't like 4 so much but I loved 3, I'm waiting for number 5 to pop out too, it should release at the begining of 2006 I think.

Kane , I am aswell looking for such game.
Turn based rpg's have fanbase so dont worry , there is always people that like their games to be as strategic
as d&d or warhammer. Or many other turn based computer rpg's like fallout, Final Fantasy ... etc
So as you allready been informed there is Tactica Online - which is exactly what you are looking for
Turn based PVP MMORPG
It seams to combine best aspects of 3eD&D , magic the gathering , Fallout tactics , Xcom - It will also have very dinamic and interesting storyline and it will have no monthly fee ! Yay!!

Although I read a lot of things about the game on their page I failed to notice that it will be free of charge. That is just awesome

ToonTown Online has Turn-based combat that's similar to the Final Fantasy series. Basically, fights are displayed on the game world proper as cartoon "fight clouds" and if a player wants to join they just walk into the fight. The combat itself runs almost exactly the same as FFX. Each player has a counter and they are alowed to take their turn when that counter reaches a certain point. The devs said it worked alot like mixing music on the fly.
I actually dig this idea, but I don't know just how well it would be recieved outside of this particular "kiddie" game. It could be applied to just about any background, but the fights would have to be limited to a set number since too many people could potentially slow everything way down.
There is a game with this

Last time I played this it had Turn based combat, non instanced based and it even had PvP.
I personally got very bored of it very quickly. But see what you think, the turn based combat is very very well done, although I do prefer the way they do it in ToonTown.
It also has a wide range of professions and skills to keep you intrested for that little bit longer.
lol yeah i dont play doofus but i play runescape :P which is also 2d graphics but a sweet game
