While we were in Los Angeles, California for the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo, we had an opportunity to sit down with the crew from En Masse to get a first-hand look at their upcoming game, TERA.
This new MMO promises to focus on teamwork and strategy above races and classes. It also brings in a political element to your game as you vie for the leadership position in your regions by completing quests to gain favor, or by fighting your way to the top in Player vs. Player (PvP) matches. But does the world of TERA have what it takes to hold its own in a genre dominated by World of Warcraft and other MMOs?
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.
