This allows players to explore areas and complete quests, with other players outside the group. Each major area has one main dungeon, and are designed for characters of varying progressions. Development Turf Battles was first announced by HyperEngines LLC in October 2005. Development of the game from the Korean version has taken about 2 months, with extensive testing. The game was designed to be an open environment, where players are allowed to do what they please. Quests are optional, and were designed to help guide players, allow character development, and to spread characters across different zones, to try to avoid what developers call 'player collision'. The game interface allows players to customize appearance, controls, and other modifications.
