What is The Frontier Myth?
The Frontier Myth is a free, non-commercial private server for Myth War II (Myth War 2), a classic fantasy online RPG with turn-based battles and pet raising. It runs a rebranded Myth War client against a rebuilt community server, with its own launcher and website. Everything is free and run by volunteers.
Players explore the Rarus Continent, fight with a pet at their side, join parties of up to five players, and take on quests, events and bosses. You do not need a subscription.
What is Myth War 2?
Myth War II (also written Myth War 2 or MW2) is a 2D fantasy MMORPG. You walk around towns and wild maps. When you meet monsters, the game switches to a turn-based battle where your character and your pet act in an order set by speed. Winning gives experience, gold and items.
The game is known for its pet system: you capture, hatch, fuse and level pets that fight with you. See the pet bestiary for every pet on this server.
Main features
- Turn-based party battles: up to five players per party, each with a pet.
- Pets: a public bestiary of pets in six grades. Capture Basic pets in the wild, fuse pets into Rare and higher grades, and raise them with skills and growth. Browse the pets.
- Character growth: level up to 104, then rebirth to reach level 120. Skills have four ranks and are improved with Talent.
- Quests and events: the five Soulstone quests, city Defense, daily city Invasions, Beast Hunt, and double map EXP on weekends. See how the systems work.
- Economy and crafting: trade with other players, enhance gear with gems and diamonds, and mine for gems.
- Player portal: one account for the game and the website. See your characters and mailbox, and add optional two-step sign-in.
- Multiple clients: the Squad Center runs up to five game windows together.
- Automatic updates: the launcher keeps the game files up to date.
