Myth War

Myth War Online was a free-to-play 2D fantasy MMORPG developed by Chinese studio Unigium and published internationally by IGG, launched in North America in 2006. It used a nostalgic turn-based Active Time Battle system with party-based pet companions, a Rumor System of NPC-spreading quests, and a Master-and-Apprentice mentorship feature across four playable races. IGG shut the original game's servers down in May 2009 to make way for its direct sequel, Myth War II, which itself closed in 2015 (and now survives only via community-run private servers).
