GameCritics: Gamers who still crave level grinding and dungeon looting after exploring all the nooks and crannies of titles like Star Wars: The Old Republic and World of Warcraft (WoW) might want to give En Masse Entertainment's Tera a try. Why? In an ever-more-crowded massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) market, Tera distinguishes itself from the pack in one very important way: it features action-oriented real-time combat.
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.
