Square Enix to announce new MMO before 2012. So is it going to be a fuck-ton of grind whore MMO and will feature the ZOMG turn-base battle system? Seriously man ... Need a new freaking MMO that's unique and not-so-WoW-like.

Wow is actutally turned based. It just so happens it uses an active turned based system instead of a wait one. Just look at the way the combat log works. You use skills you swing attacks based on the stanad turn based system. The only diffference is its not like old turned based games where you are waiting on the enemy instead you are using an active battle system where you and your opponent each act out your turns without waiting on each other. Think about how autoattack works. You arent actually auto attacking. The game is just trigging the attacks based on your weapon speed ie when its your turn automatically.

An easy way to see this would be to go into Baldur's Gate II and play with or without pause. It works basically the same way as the wow system (without the global cooldown).
