I just wonder what kind of net speeds I get from their servers. Signed up for a beta key, hopefully I can get one I guess
EDIT: haha disregard everything I'm IP blocked from NA apparently
Maybe I can get to try EU or something.
I don't understand how free to play = suck.ragelewa wrote:

I don't know if you know this, but free to play games are actually extremely profitable. And they don't even have to nickel and dime players in order to turn profit, that all depends on the game/how bad the companies are. Games don't turn free to play because they want to lose money, they go free to play because they realize they can make more money that way. An example of this is DC Universe. They went free to play and got a ton of new players and are making more money than before.
I really think the stigma comes from bad games that were designed with purely profit in mind. An excellent example of a game like this is Allods. That game was literally designed from the ground up to be about the cash shop. If you look at the front page at any given time, most of the news articles are about cash shop deals. Players feel compelled to spend money in order to play, because they do everything short of force you to. They want you to feel that way and don't care about the actual game.
Games like World of Warcraft and Everquest have taken almost an equally shady road and have double dipped, having both a cash shop and a subscription fee. I don't think this will last forever though, and I predict free to play -alone- will be the mainstream standard 10 years from now. The economics behind it really reminds me of why anti-piracy is dumb but that's another subject.
Basically, free to play can be great. It all depends on the people in charge.
It's not the profit of the game, it's the people who play them
f2p games have a lot more annoying/selfish people and/or people who can't read, especially in SEA servers.
p2p, imo, means less annoying people because they wouldn't pay for a game just to be a dick to

Free to play isn't necessarily bad.
But...
A huge portion of the TERA fanbase is self-titled "Hardcore PvP players" who insist that any sort of cash shop will make the game terribly unbalanced and refuse to play such a game. They have many different opinions on just about every single other matter, but that's basically a universal sentiment among the people currently looking forward to TERA.

Sadly enough, Ellyn is the majority race. This may differ depends on the country it runs on, but that's how it is in Korea and Japan has the most extreme ratio.
Elin also has the worst racial skills ever. I bet nobody is going to play with Baraka, even though they have a 100% self heal.
Bumping this.
Someone pre-ordered the game already? :3

That's some funny timing, a friend showed me the beta just a few hours ago.
Made an Elin Mystic (Yes, yes, I know. Lolicon etc etc) and must say the battle system is quite fun, it seems to flow really nicely and movement actually plays a role for once, albeit the difficulty of the game is a little too easy (I only got to level 10 so I can't be a good judge of that).
Haven't tried the PvP but if it's any good I might have to try this out properly one day.

IP blocked herpderp
I tried using a proxy, but it's free so it's slow as hell. I had to switch it on and off between IP checks, but the game checks my IP so many times in different points that I just stopped trying.
Managed to make a Baraka Mystic before I stopped, lol

y i've pre-ordered the game, PCC starts 26/4 and Headstart starts 28/4, while actual launch starts at 3/5. This game is so much fun when you're playing with other friends aswell, especially the PvP ^^
I was not informed that TERA EU was in OBT too, which means I only have one day - tomorrow to test it.
It doesn't block me, so that's a plus.

NA and EU have 2 different clients IIRC so EU/NA can't play with each other.
Definitely an enticing MMO, played the OB till lv. 21. Fairly easy up until 20, when instancing and quests become increasingly harder just from the little time and from what lvl 32's have been saying. Combat system is quite enjoyable, oh and the most important thing:

This game is fking epic. I'm on NA Tera on Blightwood and got a warrior to level 32 during preorder beta. I'm SO stoked for this game's live release. It's nice to have a headstart before everyone 
Okay, I usually hate MMOs. But I tried the OBT... and like it pretty much...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I might buy it

Goodbye Life
Note : On head start, I'll probably be playing with some other friends, I'll let you know.
I'm gonna miss half of the headstart..
Oh well atleast I took the entire week off from work and the only have to go Thursday from 12:00 till 20:00 CEST-
...
"The launch for all players will happen on the 3rd of May at 12:00 CEST. At this time the level cap of 38 will be removed and pre-order and normal players, who have redeemed a valid key, will have access to all available servers."
My lucky fucking life story right there.

I've got the headstart available too but I'm probably going to start on launch day like most of the people.
Why would you do that. D:
Got stuff to do. I just happen to be free the 3rd so the 3rd it will be.
Handling it better than me then. I seriously want to punch my own face in, missing the first 2 hours of the headstart and the first 8 hours of the launch.

Who's gonna be on NA server? Whoever you are join blightwood!
I'll probably be on essenia (or whatever it's called).
Q: In ten seconds tell me, what are chronoscrolls?
A: Chronoscrolls are an in-game item we're using to fight gold farming, game account theft, phishing, chat spam, and other criminal behaviors in order to create a better gameplay environment for TERA. Players can trade their excess gold for chronoscrolls and redeem those chronoscrolls to play TERA for free. Other players can buy chronoscrolls and sell them in the game as a way to earn more gold. Both groups of players get what they want, without having to interact with cyber-criminals. By creating a legal market where players trade game gold for game time, we can reduce demand for the illegal trading of game gold for real money, and thereby reduce criminal enterprises. That might be more like a twenty second answer, but I think it hits the key points. Of course, you probably have a lot more questions now!

Yeah, there was something like this in Eve online as well (Plex). Works great in general. I hope the price won't be something huuuuuuuuuuuuuge...
40mins left before PCC :p I suggest once we created our char, we could post his name here

They actually added the chronoscrolls? Sweet, I was hoping those would make it in. Doubt I would actually manage to earn my way through with just in-game currency (though we'll see about prices) but it means I get to save some $$ on occasion and don't have to listen to goldseller spam.
DRAKARI!!!!! are you going to join me on blightwood?! we can be gods together!
pretty sure i'll be playing on valley of titans, i dont have much choice as all my friends are already there.

Not only is Yoda forcing me to play on his server, he is forcing me to play as a Lancer. This Yoda guy.

so my server has the longest queues of all time. I'm at work right now and really sad that I will have to go home and wait in queue to play ;(
also I got from lvl 1-27 in the time since the head start came up (didn't have beta) lol. I was hoping to get 38 by launch but because of work I don't think its gonna happen.

currently level 37, but i didn't start til first day of head start lol
currently level 47, and leveling started to become a pain without parties T_T
so is this game as monotonous as it seemed in both the beta and in videos of higher level gameplay? (high monster hp, unresponsive/slow monsters)
what. god no. this game is incredible.
Just hit 52.

I'm honestly having a hard time keeping my interest in this game =(.
so me and galvenize decided to play on Velik, since Essenia was closed for new players and galv couldn't enter.
We played for 6 hours straight and dinged 20. Then Essenia opened and we did it all over again...
Blargh I'm only lvl 25 yet, so quit whining about being slow
you simply can't compete with me!

Got stuck in there since no players for group quests (I'm doing all the quests before moving on to more quests, waste of time, but I don't care)

leveling so easy. u guys think it is slow???!!!
I don't think leveling is slow at all, it just isn't holding my interest. I just can't be bothered.

I'm 57, and shit got intense on most of the new instances. So much fun, i can't wait till battlegrounds though ^^
IKR
I'm pretty sure I'm level 47 now. I'd be much higher if I didn't get called into work EVERY SINGLE NIGHT FOR THE PAST 4 FUCKING DAYS.
ehhh 42. Pretty snow zone
No need to be a douche about it. Its understandable. Korean mmos aren't for everyone. I'm actually surprised it's held my interest thing long as well.kriers wrote:

With that said, if you can find someone to group with its much fast by like 90%, no lie. It won't be anymore interesting really, but at least you'll have someone to chat to etc. Turn on PVP and be a douche too to spice things up. Just some suggestions that kept me going lol.

finding a group is ezpz, get a guild.

GW2 won't be out for awhile. I don't think til end of this year. It's also F2P so once you buy it ur set, don't have to worry. Get Tera, play the free month, if u don't like it don't resub, if you do play until you don't feel like play anymore imo.
