Well, it's officially official. En Masse Entertainment is launching its long-awaited TERA MMO on May 1st in North America. A posting on the game's website confirms the date, and it also mentions both standard and collector's edition offerings, the contents of which will be revealed in February.

In the meantime, En Masse is accepting beta applications, and the company also promises "lots more in store" for the month of January.

TERA was originally developed by Bluehole Studio; the title launched in Korea in early 2011. The game is a high fantasy MMORPG focused around action combat and featuring an endgame political system.

[Update: Frogster has also announced that the EU version of TERA will be available on May 3rd.]

@Softserve If ArcheAge doesn't turn out to what I'm hoping, I'll be so disappointed.

After watching streams and such, it definitely looks like my cup of tea. We just need some info about NA/EU!

Yes it is confirmed, officially, by the company, that there are NO IP blocks.

By the way, if anyone is worried about PAYING for game time, TERA allows a system similar to PLEX - anyone with just a bit of time will find a way to play the auction house and make enough money for an extra 20 day time boost. (Yes, elements of specualtion are present in this post, but that is usually how it works, except that in TERA it will be official like in EVE)
