The excitement surrounding TERA ramped up a few levels with the recent announcement of the title's May 1st release date. The action MMO from Korea's Bluehole Studio has been a long time in the making, and En Masse Entertainment has hinted at more details to come over the next couple of months.
Today the company has partnered with IGN to release a new gameplay video focused on the Castanic race. The clip runs for about a minute and a half, and features a smattering of action vignettes starring our favorite horned warriors. Check it out after the break.
@smartstep I smell a race that is being advertised exactly as it is - a race that is extra aggressive, extra sexual, and extra trying-to-be-badass. Cannot really complain about something that tells you exactly what is it.
Tera had an open beta in korea that attracted more concurrent users than AION ever had - they increased there server amount. Eventually people had to pay, other people decided the game wasn't for them - servers were merged.
Tera KR has 13 servers. Tera JP has all of 3 servers.
It's not a time-to-declare-bankruptcy failure. But it certainly is a huge disappointment. And trying to suggest it performed in any way better than Aion is ridiculous.
When you don't make enough profit to beat a 10-year government bond (which essentially has no risk) by a meaningful margin, it's a huge disappointment.
@ImperialPanda If you bring up something like that then I might as well bring up the fact that the game launched prematurely, about 8-10 levels worth of prematurely.
