Was worried about being too slow at leveling and not doing enough damage but it seems that isnt a problem then. I might just create two chars and play through a couple of levels to see what i want as my main. May as well roll on velik as well so.

Also if u ever play lotro its alot like loremaster, has pets and gives alot of mana in various ways to the group. When you do pick what your gona lvl, wack ur char names here, theres a few of us on velik now. I think overall we all over the gaff, theres like 2 on essenia 4 on velik 1 on samuel I think, due to everyone getting game rolling toons then realising its a damn good game and time to post on boards about it :P

Have made two characters now on velik. "Igs" - Priest "Igsion" - Sorceror Not sure which one im going to roll with as my main yet going to get a few more levels on each of them before i decide but so far really enjoying the game.

But by the time I'd hit the mid 30s, I found it harder and harder to log in despite my initial passion for the combat. At that point, I'd more or less acquired every important ability I'd acquire on the way to the level cap of 60, and the repetition of the quests and grouping for more BAMs grew more tedious than I would have imagined. Worse yet, I'd already learned all the best tactics for each situation, and the resulting repetition robbed even the excellent combat of some of its appeal. Had I written my review before that time, I think I would have said that I was in love with TERA. Today, I still enjoy logging in, but it's clear that its hold on me is slipping fast.

For me the combat is just fantastic and the best ive ever played in an mmo. The game looks great,the sheer scale of the world,cities etc is mind boggling but like the above paragraph im finding it harder and harder to log in. Im lvl 34 and the grind has well and truely kicked in, when i say grind it feels like a grind as opposed to a massive amount of xp needed per level in the traditional sense of a grind.. The quests at 34 are almost identical to the quests at lvl 5, kill x wild boars,pick y amount of flowers and so on. Why makes such a fantastic looking game with a huge and interesting world and have such fantastic combat if your just gonna churn out the same old quests time after time?
