Heroes of Might and Magic Online is now accepting applications to participate in closed beta testing of what they are calling the "first persistent world turn-based strategy MMO." This MMO installment in the Might and Magic series is being developed under license by Chinese developer TQ digital, but clearly English support is part of the program. The beta is supposed to kick off next month, and word is: "HoMM Online combines the classic elements of HoMM III with the updated graphics of HoMM V to present a unique gameplay. HoMM Online is also a turn based online game that puts the emphasis on strategic planning and tactical skill while allowing players to socialize and create their own stories."
