Hi Sgforums.
I don't think many Singaporeans have heard of Tera Online yet, especially with other famous titles like Diablo 3 and Guildwars 2 coming out.
Tera online is a new P2P K-mmo like a combination of Dragon Nest (Combat mechanic and Pve), Aion (Graphics), WoW (Easy Levelling/Questing) and Perfect World (Pvp).
The following are excerpts from their website [
http://tera-europe.com/ ]
TERA takes the fight beyond whack-a-mole monotony with enhanced aiming, dodging, and tactical timing to create intense and rewarding combat. Unlike other MMOs, you can use your controller or keyboard and mouse to control the action like never before. With all the depth you expect from a traditional MMO, plus the intense gratification of action combat, TERA changes all the rules.
Experience an Action MMO beyond "point and click" where skill, position, timing, and aim determine success in combat.
Play seven character races and eight classes. Battle hundreds of monsters throughout 80+ zones and embark on thousands of quests in a game world rich in history and lore.
Advanced enemy AI and enormous bosses deliver a more intense and engaging combat experience.
Explore a world filled with breathtaking visuals powered by Unreal Engine 3.
In a faction-free world, all players can impact the community as well as the social, political, and economic structures of TERA.
I'ved tried the beta and it's not bad. Reasonable fees, with some website selling quite cheap. You will have to play on EU servers though, as NA is IP blocking Asia. So investing in a proxy service like WTFast or Battleping is nearly a must, though I know some who play without just fine. Members of the Supreme Society guild can also make use of our guild tunnel to get around 100-200ms ping, abit unstable but free.
What I can say is, if you liked the graphics of Aion and eastern style characters or like Dragon nest action and open world pvp, but don't like to grind, this game is for you. Can be improved, but still great for those that are sick of the standard MMO gameplay.
At the very least, I thought this game deserved some awareness from local gamers who might have misunderstood what it's about or did not notice it considering the other big titles coming out this spring.
Also, if any of you decide to play on Tera EU, we have a big and still growing SEA community on the Essenia PVP server with 20+ active players already. Our guild is Supreme Society and we're also working with Circle of Kakis, an established multi-gaming guild.
We're focused on team based PVE and PVP (Indoor and outdoor,plan to control territories later)
We want dedicated and fun players who can help each other out and join in guild activities. We are as much about socializing as progression.
Anyone who is interested can drop by our website at :
