They wanne lure kids to game who can then play as pets:P
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.

I think that luring kids is not what this game is trying to do. I don't understand why this races is getting so much flack...gnomes are creepy, lalafell are scary and goblins are gremlins in diguise. These Ppori are awesome in comparison!
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...

Hey, goblins are the best outhere. They are badass. Popori, i dont think they will be popular. They should change their shape because no one like fat ppl.

I am puzzled with this artistic inconsistency (a mixture of historical bloody battle of Tannenberg and a pillow fight in kindergarten). Well, probably Easter players like that for some reasons (I have no clue), but killing kids even in a game is hardly a Western tradition.
From my point of view the game would win in case there would be no Popori race.
What is on your mind?
Thak you.
They are, you know, a different species. And have very little resemblance to the human species, adult or otherwise.
Goblins too, look like children. Should we ban goblins too?

When they talk about westernisation what are they refering to other than the language? I can't see them redoing the UI or anything graphical.
Usually thats what it means but supposedly Blue Hole and EnMasse are actually going to end up with slightly different clients. Im wondering how they plan to handle content updates but well ... thats what they said. In fact one of the devs (or maybe it was a CM) said you will not be able to switch your audio because both clients will be different and one might have content the other just doesnt have. That and they've said they'll be making questing and what not the main method of leveling and already announced PvE ruleset servers. So more than just translating.
IMO thats great. I couldnt care less if the text was written in Engrish so long as I understand it. Korean MMO's dont do well here.
Hmm it makes me wonder how they will handle content updats too, but at least we may get something more than text. I would want more quests, but certainly no westernisation of the graphics, I just don't get the reasoning that we have to play with everything looking like the same old boring european feudal look.

Language mostly. Sometimes when translating from korean to english it makes no sence (I'm English and my wife is Korean and she tells me that some things just don't translate very well). When that happens to say a Quest or quest line then EnMass will have to totally rewrite the quest from the ground up.
Other than that I guess they will tweak the Exp & drop rates if needed.

I like how you comment on all those topics when you actually don't know crap. When they are talking about westernization they mean they are going to redo a lot of the content such as more quests to lessen the grind and they already said the western client is not gonna be the same as the eastern.
The Popori are so disgustingly cute looking it just follows the trend of the unappealing art style in this game. Those things look like overweight bears and the example they show on the website race listings is so fat and rotund it doesn't look like it could do much but cast some spells. When this game was first announced I thought it sounded interesting and worth checking out, I have since removed it from my list of MMO's I am interested in...pass.

You totally underestimate the power of rolly polly olly. My Popori Warrior could out jump any fatty any day! It's all about weight shifting.

Don't worry, there going to be cash shop items and people will buy!
I have not played the game but what I have seen/read about it on the web allows to speculate that TERA has serous potential except one IMHO issue – Popori race.
Western “producers” are talking a lot about their had work on Westernisation of the game, aesthetics…:
Aesthetics? Hm, what sort of “sensori-emotional values” and artistic taste of beauty has a person that proposes to slice and dice a cute child or teddy bear like Popori race?
It is crystal-clear that they (Western publisher) are not able to change any Korean game asserts, but they continue to feed us with primitive “goofy massive swords” fairy tails and their other Westernisation “aesthetic” efforts.

Well since we are all so enthralled with the recent slew (personally I feel spew would be a better description) of Western style MMOs, sure lets force the devs to make their different game just like all the others. In fact since the whole standard Western MMO fodder of dwarves, elves, orcs and what not seems to be so wonderful I say we petition the makers of Tera to not make a new game at all as we what we already have is obviously so damn perfect.

A1x2e3l, I fully support your right to decided what you do and do not like. I even support your right to discuss it with the rest of us. But where the hell do you get off thinking you have the right to make the decision on what a game company who is putting in the time, the work, and the money, can or cannot add to their own freaking game!?

So much win that there's just nothing to add to this quote.
The ease with which predictions are made on these forums: Fratman: "I'm saying Spring 2012 at the earliest [for TOR release]. Anyone still clinging to 2011 is deluding themself at this point."
I think the Popori race is stupid as hell (they at least didnt have to be all fat). Whoever decided to put it in the game deserves a firm pimp slap followed by a swift roundhouse kick to the face.

Actually it is, I never liked orcs and elves theme and this race is just the other end. Not bad.

Say what you want about the Popori ... they are still > gnomes by a long shot :P
They should kill the popori. For me the stupid furries ruin the game in all korean mmo's. Cant understand their twisted and sick minds sometimes!
the best way to kill a troll is to FLAME ON! ...or with acid...
Goblins are evil and ugly. So yeah ban them too.
