Ok idk about how everyone else feels but i find thsi weekend to be most funny and epic weekend so far for Tera. I mean for the past 2 month i been playing the shit out of ever CBT and the only OBT, and for all 6 of those weekends Tera was really on the down low. 4 servers, only really ever had que on cbt 1 and seem really mild. And speically with GW2 stating their first public Beta on Tera headstart weekend everyone didn't think it seem to be looking good for Tera. Many people who were waiting for GW2 decide not to pick up Tera to pass time, many Tera player were going to play GW2 and all those stuff.
And than GW2 beta hits on friday and you know with the overly excited fanbase. And you know the game wasn't what some people expected, and ironiclly helped Tera because the game was very unpolished and didn't meet up to their expections. And so now everyone is flooding in to Tera instead of GW2. I know anyone who played like the CBT and OBT will tell you we never had this much people trying to play Tera at once. CBT1 there was some long ques but only up to 1hr tops and stopped having que like 6hrs in to the game. We are now like 32hrs since the server has gone up, and we still have over 1hrs que for VoT and JC and BC has like 20minuate que. EME even added a new pvp server in (which i knew they were going to add in for server way) but i swear they never would have expected to need to add server in during head start. And like everywhere people are asking for headstart keys left and right lol. I know just like on my friends vent, it was only me and one other person playing. Than 2 more pre-odred and than 2 more and than suddenly the whole vent is playing Tera XD Spreading like a virus.
And I have to thank GW2 for it all lol, thank you NCSoft for rushing out GW2 before it was ready so people would play Tera instead =P
And O before the trolls start flaming and stuff, this is my opinion and ONLY APPLY TO SOME not ALL.

To be fair Tera has advantage of already being released once in Asia. This is not the first beta test for Tera and i am sure devs gotto learn a lot from Asian release since the game is pretty much the same.
So unfair to compare with GW2, now if GW2 had advantage of two releases and still screwed up i would agree with you.
You make it sound like GW2 is released. It doesnt even have a release date yet. Its still in beta. So its sort of pointless to go bragging right now.
TERA is an MMORPG by Bluehole Studio. It was released in South Korea on January 25, 2011.
You are comparing a game in beta to one that has been released since early 2011.
In GW2's defense, there are still a lot of GW2 fans that enjoyed the game this weekend, and it's really not fair to compare a game that is still in beta with one that has been out for a year and a half. Saying all that, I think it's pretty obvious that TERA isn't going to be going away anytime soon, and many people that have played TERA did prefer it to GW2. Doubtful that they are a majority, but the folks in my PvE guild certainly preferred TERA and don't think of the game as a stop-gap until GW2 is released.
GW2 will be a very popular game. TERA will most likely still be a very popular niche title. But I do think that a lot of people this weekend found out that GW2 isn't going to be the Messiah of mmos, nor is TERA going to fall off the map when games like GW2 and TSW are released. TERA can hold its own with anyone.
Look out bro here come the fanboys!!! I find it so amusing people are like stuck to this whole "GW2 is the future" thinking of theirs. Beta or not the concept of the game is crap, and it's mechanics aren't far behind that. GW2 is a bust that people were far too excited in to let go even now. I find GW2 to be the Tebow of video games.
Also tera in US is different from the 1 year released korean version. If you do not believe me try them both yourselves. This is comparing a beta near released game to another beta near released. The moment your company starts taking pre-orders that get you into beta's... means the game is pretty close to release.
I think I found a new sig line. What a great comparison. Hahaha, love it!
HAha it is bro. It's completely overhyped junk. I am a Broncos fan and all, and respected the dedication Tebow gave us... however I can realize when the public tries to sugar coat something that will not be. GW2 will take the same route as AoC. Everyone was all in love with it pre-launch and had high hopes, then after a year or a little more it dropped fast.
Saw them 10 miles away bro =X or sis if your a girl XD
And i know its in Beta and i do hope they fix all their stuff, but you know what? Its their own fault for trying to compete with Tera. They knew for a fact the game is in beta and not nearly polished enough, as we can see with no well optimized graphics and other issues. If they knew th at it was unpolished why the hell did they decide it was a good idea to put Beta same time as Tera head start? Doesn't matter if its Beta vs a game thats out for a year, people are going to make comparison no matters what. Also from what i seen the quests are retardly diffcult at some points where if you try to solo your pretty much screwed. The entire game feel more like alpha than a Beta with all the issue and what? 2/3 races thats not even released?
Also its really funny because before the Beta all the GW2 fanboy going on about how much better GW2 is than Tera blah blah balh, than Beta comes out they suddenly go o its only Beta you can't compare? Wtf? What happen to all the comparison of how much better GW2 was before it was even in beta? What happened to that GW2? Is this a different GW2 than the ones i been hearing about all the time?
I am not a GW2 fanboy but you are still making comparison with a game which has been released once in 2011 and make it sound as if Tera team pulled of something impossible with beta in 2012.
Also i like how you ignore other posts and jump to reply to one which confirms your own opinions and mock GW2 fans..
Its nice to give them a taste of their own medicine ^_^
Also my reply to the quote was 1 line, if you read the rest i stayed reason about comparing GW2 to Tera even though its in Beta. Again people been comparing GW2 before it was in beta to Tera all the time, suddenly Beta comes out and its not as good as they all hoped I can't compare them any more? Even though they been comparing for idk how long?
GW2 has been in development since 2007. Maybe even longer. Some say 6 YEARS. Longer than any major mmorpg in history.
At least TERA has guild vs. guild working right, which is ironic considering the names of the repective games.
Just not worth my time anymore.
Idk man, i can't see how horrible graphics and tab targeting combat is a step foward.
This kind of post is why GW2 fans aren't highly respected as a community. But we're all entitled to our opinions I guess.
Go back to spamming 1 on your mage, you have no clue what the fk your talking about.
"In the immediate future, we have this one, and then weve got another one that is actually going to be so were going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what were targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you cant hold me to it. But what were targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo
Na man they have auto attack so just spam right click. and hope they click something in the clusterfuck that is only a 5v5. o wait nvm they have tab targetting silly me =X
+1. That made me lol

YEAH MAN TERA IS A F2P GARBAGE SHITFEST ONLY PERVERTS AND WOW FANS PLAY OMG AND IT HAS A SUB GW2 HAS NO SUB AND TERA F2P 1 SERVER IN A MONTH.
It may be nice to see full servers on TERA right now, but not if you can't get into the one your guild chose, I'm facing the longest queue I have ever seen, but that is due to a lot of the players realizing that the strength of the game is it's PVP, and that GvG is only on the PVP servers. Still, gave me an excuse to role a zerker on a PVE server, which is what I wanted till my guild went all PVP crazy.
I am sure GW2 will shape up to be very good eventually, it’s just NCsoft’s vendetta against Bluehole that lead to this rather messy first beta, Anet are a competent bunch, I just wish they had gone with a better engine, I am surprised at how bad many of the screenshots posted here are.
As to this immature and tribalistic mentality, both sides need to grow up and realise there is no need for sides, most of us will enjoy both games, and the rest who do not like one or both can just say so and leave the rest alone. This is why I don't go to sport matches, I hate this kind of culture.
I love TERA, and GW2, and hope to love TSW, I don't envy the rest here who feel the need to hate, seriously, they are just games. If this where my usual religious or political forums I would understand the emotional investment and resentment of other people's "hobbies", (though not approve) but... perspective people.
