One of the most well known turn-based strategy games is about to head to the 
MMO space. Today it was announced that Chinese developer TQ Digital is 
working on Heroes of Might and Magic Online, an MMO that is said to combine 
the gameplay of Heroes of Might and Magic III with the graphics of the last 
PC game in the series, Heroes of Might and Magic V.

The game, which is licensed by Might and Magic's current owner Ubisoft, will 
have eight different factions to choose from along with 16 classes, over 50 
different creatures and hundred of different campaigns. Closed beta testing 
for the game will begin in early May and you can sign up for the beta right 
now:

	how can an mmo possibly have the gameplay of hommIII?  

	I like how it'll have the amazing cutting edge graphics of
hommv, hehe.  

	Ah well, will keep an eye on it.

	Have been enjoying the new kings bounty and kings bounty
armored princess though.

Well, it's not like there aren turn based MMORPGs around.
2 examples:

Atlantica Online:

you explore the world ala World of Warcraft, but then actual combat is 
turn based (think Disciples)

Dofus:

rich 2D graphics and grid-turn based combat
