From the review: "Over the course of my playtime with Tera, I posted several “journals” to describe my initial experiences with it, so now I get to take those and turn them into a full review. While writing my journals, I made many comparisons to World of Warcraft for two reasons. First, as stated before, World of Warcraft is the industry standard. It’s one of, if not the biggest MMORPG on the market today. Second, it’s really the only other MMO that I’ve played and actually enjoyed (pre-Cataclysm). I’ve tried Lord of the Rings Online, Everquest II, Guild Wars, and Final Fantasy XI. I’m not saying they’re bad MMOs, but I just didn’t get too into them. So what makes Tera any different from those other non-WoW MMOs? Well, let’s find out."
Long-running MMORPG Tera will be closing on June 30 and Gameforge and Krafton have published a video that serves as a farewell.
No fan wants to see Tera shutting down, but unfortunately, developer Bluehole is closing the game's servers (on PC, anyway) to work on other projects.
Good, this game was great when it launched, but it's been turned into a nightmare of a product since.
Some WoW-like MMORPGs are better than others. Here's a curated list that offers a wide variety of games that let you play with other people but have something unique to offer.
WoW is a mess and it will continue to be a mess. Still, the less-developed MMOs are going to have trouble gaining a fan base because they lack content right now. Even if people do flock to FF14 or BDO, they'll go back to WoW if they fix enough features or give players a shred of hope.
