RipTen: If you’re willing to lay down your Warglaives and look past your Lightsaber induced obsession, you may find that TERA packs the cure for your MMO woes. TERA is colorful enough to keep your eyeballs at full attention, and innovative enough to warrant this glowing mention. Heck, after playing it a few times at E3 2011, we named it Best MMO, and I’m here to tell you why.
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.
Sounds promising!
Sweet. Will keep my eyes open.
Nice
"It’s crosshair-like attack system requires you to actually be facing your enemy in order to deal damage. In other words, you will need to exhibit skill if you want the kill.... In other words, don’t just stand in one place pounding on your 1 key."
I might like this MMO. I have always hated MMOs like WOW where a mob of people just sit there raining fire down on an enemy by clicking one of the plethora of hotkeys. The enemy is just effectively a model for eyecandy that deals damage. I want to chase, dodge, aim, attack, run, etc. and earn my kills rather than grind.
I like that Tera is going a different direction. If gamers have fun and the company is profitable then the game will be a success.
