No threads about Tera? Interesting...

I was going to google a picture of the Elin, but there's no way i'm even going to google that in work

Fair enough, the Castanics wear practically nothing, but the Elin are just disturbing. The fact that they wear less in the Korean version doesn't make it better either. Imagine playing it, and someone walked in and saw you running around with a semi naked 'child-like' character. Added to the sounds the characters make, and it's just creepy.

I actually played the game a bit in my breaks (Elin and castanic)at work and I had the Korean armour patch installed, somehow that makes me look bad now ^^;;; But i really don't see them as children, though i understand why people would. I'm female by the way, just on a side note!

Referring to the combat system, while it definitely is more dynamic than most other games, in the end it doesn't offer a lot of variety either as you tab the target and spam your skills. But it still is pretty good and full of potential!

If I remember right it#s pretty similar to the US model. i always played on the US servers since I loath Frogster.

Everything for the US version including all models can be checked out here: http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/Answers-to-TERA-going-free-in-February

i had the same problem - I fixed it by deleting some files from the installation folder then re-launching the patcher - I think it was "version" and "manifests" or something like that

Playing this now, since you can go with a free trial now and it will keep the character when Feb 5th comes

Like it lot more than i did with Guild Wars 2 anyway

free 2 play from today! what servers yous all thinking on joining?

if there was its long gone id say, think we were all on a server last year thats been merged since. I just joined fraya there anyway.

I can only say one thing. Avoid Fraya.

I only downloaded the game to try again today. Set to connect to Fraya to create my first character. Wait time approx 45min. That was at 5.45pm.... I left the house to take care of a few things and just got back. It'w now at 3 min for the last 15 min

I think I'll try out another server. Sucks going onto low pop servers though..

Am going to give Tera a try now that it's F2P. Any reason why the forums have so many more posts in the PvP section than PvE? Is it just that a lot of PvE talk gets handled in the 'General Discussion' section, or is there a strong case for choosing a PvP server in this game? [Link]

Posts on the EU forum are turning me off, even trying, the game (at least on EU servers).

Price for a character slot on EU? -18,65€ if you buy 'middle' (400 TT) pack. 11,95€ if you buy the biggest one (2,5k TT for 99€).
Price for a character slot on NA servers? -slightly less then 5$ (go check the difference between 18,65€ and 5$...)

Price for 2(!) strongbox keys on EU? ~5€.
Price for 100(!!) strongbox keys on NA? 10$. Yup. We pay 3/4 of their 100 keys price for... 2 keys.

Hopefully the NA servers don't have to high a ping.

I bought the game on release, played for a month or two, back now and dont need to spend a cent and still have all my characters.

Was hoping to pick up a cheap copy of the game to get 'founder' status and benefits. [Link]

Starting with 2 characters would be fine if I found the cost of additional slots reasonable. Paying €18,65 per additional slot is a bit much.

It is a bit annoying alright.

Ok so yesterday when I logged into Fraya I only had about a 10 minute wait so was happy with that.

Still playing away and enjoying it. Just left the first island.

I wasn't happy when it came to crafting. Seems you need a fair amount of money just to start craft leveling. Was given a quest for each craft but each item (of which you need to craft 25) requires a specific 5 materials that from what I can see, can only be bought. These 5 materials (for weaponsmithing at least) come to around 2.5g. That's a lot of cash for a n00b like myself.
Maybe there is another route to it that I'll check later as I didn't hang around long after hitting the city. One thing I like to do in these games is craft my own gear as I level. I hope that is not lacking here...

Aaaaah crap! Any way to move onto the european version? Although from what I hear that may not be a great idea! :P

Are you sure that you want to move to a EU server?

I was in the opposite situation to you; worried that I would be restricted to EU servers. MMO forums are often full of complaining but, even so, the EU players seem exasperated by how Gameforge run things - the price differences between EU and NA shop items are ridiculous.

Finally got it downloaded. 3 more of my friends did. So far - Wooooooooow!

It looks fantastic, feels fantastic, my sluty slayer looks fantastic . I dunno how it will go on, but it was ages since I dogged my teeth in to mmorpg like this! Might even sub!

played a bit of this over the weekend - quite enjoyable. cba with the massive queue on the primary EN server, so Im on the low pop one (arcadia I think?)

strangely enough ShadowHearth - I made a really tarty slayer also

A nice we red head sluty slayer!

I can't stop playing it! I can't believe how much I enjoy it! It was the only damn mmorpg I skipped on launch and ironically it is the only one which isfreaking awesome. I am seriously thinking of stoping sub on eve online and go this full time.

Today me and other to friends did our first dungeon. If was really cool. I really loved bosses. Makes you really think how stupid right click mmorpgs are. First dungeon had more interesting boss fights then wow raid bosses.
My friend got chest armour for his berserker ( sluty too ) and the outfit was pretty much full sexy bikini. I got a chest armour too, which actually covered all the bits . I was not impressed

I the serious note: 6 of us started playing it and all of us love it. All ex wow players. All tried a lot of other mmorpgs and tera is the first one, which just got us glued to screens. The combat feels just so dn good. Really satisfying.

What really is great that free players get so much! I don't even know if subbing is even worth it . I will still throw some money their side. Damn too good game.

Anywhere I can still get a boxed copy of this? I see gamestop have it but it's €37, looking for something a bit cheaper if possible.

Tera is great fun for the first 30 levels then the boredom hits like a train! It has a hell of a lot of potential but the god awful quest system kills it. There is absolutely no variation and when the grind kicks in every quest is another nail in the coffin!
