Originally posted by dekou Strangely, they weren't the only ones. Back in spring, I saw a lot of people claiming TERA would threaten GW2, TSW and TOR.
TBH, looking at the state of TOR it is rivaling TOR.
Yeah, TOR flopped. TSW isn't doing great, either. Even GW2 can still flop in one way or another. However, it's pretty obvious TOR didn't flop because of TERA. TERA never threatened TOR. BioWare was what threatened and killed it.
Yeah Tor flopped hard, but thats what you get coming in the market with an unfinshed game preaching you are the WoW killer. TSW will be a niche game, will have its handful of hardcore fans and will do ok for a while. GW2 I believe will be fine, its buy to play and offers quite a bit more in content and will be significantly more finished and polished that most games we have seen in years, all the GW2 betas ran significantly smoother than games already launched and online for months/years. This is just my opinion though.
As far as Tera goes, if this game launched 5yrs(ish) ago it would hands down be my favorite game, when I play it every part of me screams I should love this game but I don't, besides the combat system the big awesome things you get to fight I am just bored of this game, its that been there done that 6598908058 times now feeling that kills it for me. IMO Tera is going to flop, and once GW2 launches that will be its first nail in the coffin, once Lineage 3 releases its will take Tera down for the kill.
Lineage 3??? You mean lineage eternal? Tera will be dead long before *lineage 3* ever exists.They dont need to wait for that most players in korea that left Tera went to Blade & Soul already.
What's the matter with Lineage Eternal? LE is the sequel to Lineage 1(200 years after L1). If you look at Korea, you'll see that Lineage 1 is the 3rd most played MMO there nowadays, currently behind Aion(2nd) and Blade&Soul(1st). Tera is in 6th, behind Lineage 2(4th) and WoW(5th). Sometimes Tera goes to 5th and WoW goes to 6th.
If the 14 years old Lineage 1 is still one of the kings of the eastern market, you can expect that Lineage Eternal, its sequel, will be the next king when it releases.

Lineage 3 is NOT the same thing as Lineage Eternal. The Lineage games skip a generation in sequels. Lineage 2 is not a sequel of Lineage 1, they're very different games. Lineage Eternal IS a sequel, but to Lineage 1. Lineage 3 is still in production, and is a sequel of Lineage 2.
The timeline is like this: Lineage > Lineage 2 > Lineage Eternal > Lineage 3

You're wrong, as I said in my last post, Lineage Eternal is the sequel to Lineage 1(200 years later), while L2 is a prequel to L1(150 years ago), chronologically:
So Lineage Eternal is the most advanced Lineage in terms of lore so far.
I'm not saying that there won't be a "Lineage 3"(probably a sequel to Lineage Eternal), but it won't happen, at least, before 5 years after Eternal is released, because NCSoft doesn't want to compete with itself relasing 2 games of Lineage series almost at the same time. L2 was released 5 years after L1, so you can expect a "L3" being released at least 5 years after Eternal.
I wonder if those people they let go were the same ones that stole the code for Lineage 3 from NCSoft and used it to make TERA.....especially considering it happened the day after they agreed to settle out of court.
