Rubies of Eventide is "[...] a second generation massively-multiplayer
game, Rubies defies the Everquest template by bringing back the classic
strategic RPG turn-based combat, with a twist. Rubies unique combat mode is an 'asynchronous real-time turn-based
hybrid combat.' For players this means
planning moves strategically with more attention to tactical rather than
split-second decisions.Rubies of Eventide
has seven player races and over 100 starting professions to choose from.With this system, no one is ever locked into
a stereotypical role based on his or her choice of race and can develop their
skills in-game, however they please."
