Scared about ARR

[Reika]

No one should be scared, or even care, about whats going on with TERA. TERA is garbage. A typical kmmo gold farm game with a good combat system. It's not even on Rifts level, its on Aions level. At least AION still charges for the client, I think :/

Those idiots couldn't even get a 'remember login' checkbox for the launcher from closed beta up til now, even tho it was requested way back at the beginning of the closed beta at the beginning of 2012. It took them 4-5 months to un-#@*$ the 'crafting system' which will also never be on XIV's level.

Nothing to see, nothing to fear.

After FFXI, I played WoW for 4-5 years. Ya, graphics are way out of date and I find the story very corny that I face-palm frequently. One thing I miss about WoW is the 25 man raiding. I'm not going to miss it much longer, since ARR will have 24 man raiding.

So much hate for Tera on these forums lol. Tera was always fated to be F2P from the get-go, even in Korea. The devs wanted to release it as such and even said so back in 2007 but the sub model was still powerful due to WoW. Aside from that, NA Tera's Executive Producer has stated that he wanted Tera to be F2P before it launched in the US so it was only a matter of time.

SE is adamant about keeping FFXIV as P2P but don't fool yourselves into thinking F2P isn't an option they "might" consider. Yoshi-P has said so himself that F2P isn't entirely off the table in a previous interview but that SE's main focus is of course, the sub model.

Some of the comments over the gameplay and what they perceive as garbage from Tera and even 1.0 really give me a chuckle. 1.0 was garbage to me yet I still gladly payed and played until shortly before 1.23 since it did have it's decent moments.

@Twiddle: Play better.

Actually after a little digging around, a game i would be worried about is PSO2 that is to launch early this year... free 2 play, good graphics... true i don't know all about the game but from what i read it's actually good.

I noticed I got a email from enmasse this morning. They put 6 days on my expired Tera account. For shits and giggles I'm downloading it again to play a few days till I get bored again. Was a pain in the ass to get the launcher to work, tons of people have same issue.

Is it worth to try?

[Pseudopsia]

I say yes, it has a unique combat system that you won't see anywhere else in a MMORPG. There's a free trial for new players. I'm not sure how it long it lasts. Says free trial is unlimited, go figure. From what I read Tera is official F2P is sometime in February.

They giving me Legacy Status in Tera... it's actually called "Founder" there lol.

Now I have Founder+Legacy Status. All you other Legacy members are below me .

TERA and AION want to pull off a 2.0 re-launch too like FFXIV

Enmasse wants the player's money through the purchase of game currency and elite subscriptions, but they are not putting much effort into a real relaunch like SE is. I'm pretty sure in Tera there will be a short influx of new players then it will die out again.

I need some sleep, good night everyone.
