He was fired, that's why he's not top guy anymore. He was just given a lower position as a consolation for his talents. Koreans just used to free to play mmos and because of the poor economy, not inclined to paying a monthly subscription fee. It's a much different situation in NA, where free to play games are considered suckage. Even if Tera is considered incomplete now, it still is more complete than FFXIV. I would say one more year, and FFXIV will have a really good game. I'm not even interested in any dungeon gear drops as they aren't much of a change in stats or looks from regular weapons and armor, and not worth sacrificing inventory space for. The rank 45 boss is definitely a challenge but I despise the rest of the dungeon and its mobs the way they are setup.
