player (PvP) combat. Each server allows player versus player combat almost anywhere in the game world. In PVP environments, players can attack each other at almost any time or location. On all servers, there are special areas of the world where free-for-all combat is permitted. Battle arenas, for example, allow all players to engage each other without fear of penalty or loss of rank. Setting Turf Battles is a Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). It takes place in a 3D-representation of the world of Fomalhaut, which players can interact with through their characters. The game features two main lands on the continent of Fomalhaut, as well as numerous smaller lands and islands. In the game world, players use their characters to explore locations, defeat creatures, and complete quests, among other such activities. By doing these things, characters gain experience points. After a set number of experience points have been gained, a character gains a level and new stat points, opening up the option of learning new skills, using new items, exploring new areas, and attempting new quests. As a player explores new locations, they can "save" locations, both for future reference, and in order to teleport back to these locations, should the desire arise. Players can discover "crystal shifters" in newly discovered locations, and then use those NPCs in order to teleport to previously discovered locations in other parts of the world. Players can also use facilities such as NPCs, or "crystals", in order to move from one area of Fomalhaut to another. Although the game world remains reasonably similar from day to day, locations have changeable weather such as dust, snow, and storms. A number of facilities are available to characters when in towns and cities. In each major city, characters can access a warehouse, in order to deposit items, such as treasure or crafted items. Each warehouse is unique to that character, with players able to purchase additional storage space. In the major cities of Fomalhaut, players can expect to see player hosted booths. These are effective for selling items you have gained, or while you wish to remain connected to the game, should you decide to go away from your keyboard. Some of the harder challenges in Turf Battles require players to group together to complete them. These usually take place in dungeons and other difficult areas, which a group of characters can enter together.
