En Masse Entertainment isn't messing around, judging by today's announcement regarding several game industry heavyweights joining forces with the publisher of the forthcoming TERA MMORPG. "We want En Masse Entertainment to serve as a magnet for creative talent. As we build toward the launch of TERA, we are adding veteran strength to all facets of the company to ensure a topnotch action MMO experience for our customers," said CEO Dr. Jae-Heon Yang.

New TERA team members include Aaron LeMay, a veteran of major action franchises including Halo and Saint's Row. Also signing on are Matt Atwood, former Global Public Relations Lead at BioWare and responsible for overseeing both Dragon Age and Mass Effect. David Noonan, a former Dungeons and Dragons game designer and Aion writer also joins the TERA crew, as does Microsoft Xbox Live Operations Center veteran Markus Schweig.

Head on over to the official TERA forums for the full press release.

please to be releasing a north american beta soon. i want this mmo to succeed and i want this type of mmo to propagate. that they're bringing in this kind of talent to help them succeed gives me hope that the game is more than slutty mages and skimpy metal bikinis (not that there's anything wrong with these).

Those are some pretty significant people!

TERA isn't going to be released til 2011, by the way...So that gives them time to work hard on it and get it ready for the western launch.

(By the way, it's not out overseas either, yet.)
