If anyone is in on the HeadStart (Pre-ordered the game/got a buddy code for the weekend from someone):
You can find me on:
Server: Dragonfall
Char name: Temrin
If you have a buddy code from someone who's preordered the game, and you like the game, if you buy it you can carry your character over :3
Its real action. None of that "tab -> mash buttons" nonsense like Wow. You actually have to click/aim and learn your skills. Its pretty fun.
There are 7 races of awesome (theres even an all male race of animal people. Their counterpart is a loli cat/fox/whatever girl race. oh dear. lol. And they have old voices. sounds. so. wierd!)
But theres quite a bit of customization for characters, and things work really smooth in game. (provided you have a good video card. i got a hand me down card to upgrade to and it works like a dream. and its a couple years old.)
ANYWAYS. Enjoy~ (if you play)

I've been playing this weekend on Celestial Hills with my friend. It's a pretty fun game and the combat is super satisfying once you figure it out.
I have one of the animal folk (the popori) named Imko, and they're super cute. But have like, weird man voices lol. The Armani are awesome also, very monstery
Oh nice! :D
I kinda of wish they had a chat system something akin to battle.net/WoW/etc. So that i could talk to people on different servers :/ Oh well~
Hehe the popori are cute XD
I love the races. Lol, as always, the Elves have only two settings/genders: "Feminine" and "SUPER Feminine" XD The men are so girly. xD (not complaining mind you.)
Cant stop laughing at the Elin though. loli cat/fox girls. wat XD talk about giving off the wrong image ^^;
Oh yeah, the Amani are awesome :3
I'm playing a female Castanic at the moment. It was hard to choose so i just kinda went with the flow and chose them for my first character. I'm wanting to start a popori alt tho. xD
My Popori slayer was freakin' dangerous. >:U
I'm trying to convince the friend I played with in the OBT to buy the game with me, otherwise I probably won't buy it without someone to play it with all the time.
I used to play Vindictus, which is still more action-y than TERA, but I do prefer the open-world style of TERA rather than only instanced dungeons.
The game is a looker too. When I got off the training island and saw the scale of the first city I was floored, damn pretty stuff.
Holding out for GW2 myself, but hope you guys have fun :)
MUAHAHA. Unlocked the epic white lion mount today! Aw yeah~
@Fazar: Have fun with your GW2 :3 I never got into GW. Tried it, never really clicked. Was pretty though~
I didnt enjoy GW 1 either, but most things Ive heard about GW2 makes it sound like a different game. It's not out for a while though, also congrats :)
Is there a way to demo it first?
I'll admit im interested, but I don't buy games based on trailers alone, hehe
@Torwin well, my friend who preordered it had like, 3-day trial keys so if you can find someone with one, that's your ticket!
@Torwin: They had closed and open beta's for quite some time. But not that the game has officially launched, there is no more of that :/
(they might have a trial like WoW does in the future, but i'm not sure honestly)
But yeah, as WereMagnus said, find someone with a buddy key. (I've used up all mine >.< Else i'd give you one.)
I'm on my way out to work for the night, can you ask around a bit?
If someone local has one, I don't mind paying for it ;)
Well, the buddy key usage is over now. It was only for the weekend (even though it said on ppls accounts they could play until the middle of the month. that might be a glitch. Not sure.)
But yeah. You'd have to purchase the game atm. They dont have a free trial yet that i know off. >.<
Looks like a really interesting MMO. I wish they would have a trial though. I can't see dropping $50 on it without playing around with it first. Same issue i have with SWTOR.
They might have a trail open later on. But right now its making sure everything is playing right with all the masses joining in.
Though, they did have both closed and open beta's for quite a few months. Seems a lot of people missed it though. Hopefully they will have a 10 day trial open soon.
For those interested in the game, keep an eye out for ebay and amazon sales. There was a 1 days sale yesterday for the digital copy of Tera from Amazon for 50% off! $25 for a full MMO?! yes please.
That deal is over now, but keep your eyes peeled :3 If i find anymore i'll let you know!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!!!!!! *crie*
LOL!!! I"VE SPREAD THE TERA! : D
Another update!

I got the trial, haven't played since one of the betas a while back. Still disappointing they haven't fixed the UI issue yet, leaves me little hope they'll ever get around to it. Basically their UI has been configured incorrectly and it bottlenecks the CPU, decreasing the amount of performance you can get from your GPU(s). Not necessary for me to run the game, but my rig really shouldn't see framerates below 60 in this game. It's evident if you shut the UI off with CTRL+Z.
Nice to be bouncing around as a silly Popori again though, lol.
Wierd. I have no problem with it at all. it could just be something with your video card. I honestly have no idea. But i have no problems with the game at all. it runs perfectly and my computer isnt the best thing in the planet or anything either. You might have better luck if you report your computer specs and problems on the forums. It might be something in relation to a part you have instead of just the game 'sucking'.
None of the people i've played with have had their issues either. we've all got different setups. Just sayin :3
It is a fairly widespread issue. d: http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/Tera-UI-issue-needs-attention-No-Developer-feedback-Links-and-Info-inside (http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/Tera-UI-issue-needs-attention-No-Developer-feedback-Links-and-Info-inside)
I have an AMD CPU and an ATI GPU, but some people have the same issue on an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU as well. The problem is the game. >:
-shrugs-! Your the first i've heard of this issue. and considering that its still a new game. just past its first month fully online, i'd say give it a break :P
There are tons of issues from different people being post by the buttload everyday. they cant fix everything in the first patch. So just give it some time.
Well, it's actually been out since the beginning of 2011 in Korea :V
Luckily for me it isn't game breaking, but it is for one of my friends. As for myself I can't justify paying 15 dollars a month as well as buying the game itself when I can't run the game at a locked 60 fps with the pretty much necessary UI on.
Once it's patched I'll happily jump in since I've had no other issues o:
yes i realize that its been out in korea. Though getting the game ready for english audiences is always a huge task. This were quite a few changes from what i've heard (other then language i mean) as well as keeping up with the updates from korea and adressing problems that have come across on our end as well. The biggest problems they were having this time around was payment services and the enlgish site not screaing up so that people could play. that in itself took when quite a while to fix the major parts. People are still having connectivity issues and problems with credit card payments. Thats pretty much their sole focus right now. Getting that fixed so people can play. Its still happening for people. Its not an easy transition. Bug fixes always create new bugs. A business has to run down a list of things that are the most important. When it comes to money being double charged to clients' cards, payments not going through at all for some, databases not syncing and saying that people cannot play even though theyve played, etc etc. Thats a pretty big deal and the first thing any game should address.
Though i do understand not wanting to pay for a game you cant play very well. totaly understandable and i wouldnt either. Though definitely check back down the road. Who knows! ^^ It might work for ya~
i have a code for 50% off on purchase of Tera if anyone wants it... just PM me and ill give it to you. 6 days and 4 hours till it expires.
oh nice! howd you manage that?
I got it as a reward on one of those game tracking websites
The one I use is called raptr. they just started making most rewards you can earn redeemable in Canada as well, instead of only from the U.S.
