If you have to point out overrated features (political system), a feature which almost every game has and TERA doesnt really stand out in (open world PvP), and use a completely ridiculous statement (questing in other theme parks is just as awful as TERA) to sell a game then the game isn't underrated.
Look at this silly reply. Is this what people do now when they see a person enjoying a game that they don't? The OP ask a pretty good question and we have gotten some nice replies but there always seem to be the hater that cant stand to see a person enjoying a game when they are not. Sucks to be you.
You are overselling a game in a thread about being underrated. Your post was ridiculous and misleading and deserved the reply. Learn your lesson from it and move on. You want to hype up TERA? Stick with the graphics, the combat, and the recent updates. You hype something up like the political system you are only going to disappoint most people when they see it in action. Most people looking for some great meaningful open world PvP are going to be let down if you hype up the open world PvP. And questing in most other themeparks is not as bad as TERA, if that were the case TERA wouldn't catch so much flak for its questing. If you feel an area of a game doesnt deserve the criticism it gets, make your case without bashing other games.
What I posted has nothing to do with hating a game. Im just calling out bullshit when i see it.
I am greatly enjoying the game I am playing now (which I dont feel to be underrated), so no, it doesnt suck to be me.

Actually yes...this is pretty much what this site has become. A small group of the very vocal mmo minority who believe saying it on the forums makes it true. It's why they can talk about what the market needs but never find it.
You mean, like people saying "TERA, the best free to play game on the market." and believing them saying it makes it true?

Yes, it does suck to be you. How can you see hype and trying to sell in anything I said? There is no hype or selling. Your reply does not make any sense and that's why it sucks to you.
Seeing how much hate it gets here, it seems nothing like that to me. I was not there at launch but now the game looks extremely well and is thriving well too. One of the few games where no matter where i level i tend to find people.
Thriving? How come no one can talk about SWTOR without trying to promote "No really it's not that bad!" Why is there always an agenda?
People don't hate it because of "launch issues" they hate it because of the design.

If I asked you what you think an underrated mmo is, I'd expect you to say good things about the one you like. If I'm reading about EQN and some guy posts if they don't make it ffa pvp every mmo will die !!! and then the stupid chant gets picked up by pages worth of head nodders.... that's not really the same situation.
When they carry that over into every thread about any new mmo...well...you have mmorpg.com.
Yes, it does suck to be you. How can you see hype and trying to sell in anything I said? There is no hype or selling. Your reply does not make any sense and that's why it sucks to you.
How can you not see it?
You called it 'best f2p on the market'. You called En Masse the best developer. Of course that is hyping it up. And trying to justify an awful feature by (laughably) saying "its just as bad everywhere else"? Saying a ridiculous statement to make your game seem better is definitely selling.
I know you aren't a shill, but yours is the type of post I would expect from a shill.

How can you not see that your opinion isn't worth more than his.... If he thinks it's the greatest mmo company on the market it doesn't matter if you don't agree because to him it is and when he logs into the game he's playing the best game there is....for him.
It's really not that complicated. You don't have some great insight into everything. Your opinion of tera is just one persons opinion. If someone agrees with you...it's still just one person with an opinion. All these people that post trash on this site don't represent "everyone" just the people who have that opinion, that post on this site.
Hearthstone Mainly but I login to my GW2 and Neverwinter accounts several times a week. All in all these are some very fun games that take up way to much of my time. I also login to Asheron's Call for the first 2 days or so after each monthly patch and to pay my upkeep on my Villa.
Waiting on EQN and TESO and I am going to have to find some time to be able to play all of them because I don't envision me giving up any of these games. For me this is an excellent time to be an Online Gamer and there are so many choices. Very content with the games I play and the future they hold!
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
You don't have some great insight into everything.
All these people that post on this site don't represent "everyone" just the people who have that opinion, that post on this site.
Your post is a lot of the pot calling the kettle black here.
Notice I left out the word trash, because it is irrelevant. What you think is a trash post might not be what the next poster thinks is trash.
People that go over the top with their claims can expect backlash. the only two people in this thread (last i looked) that got any backlash are the two that went over the top. And while I didnt hold back my criticism, I left it open for a reasonable debate. Instead I got a guy who was upset he got challenged and went the personal attack route.

Page 5 and you still don't seem to grasp the point. If he wanted to read some guy hating on a game he could just go look at any other thread about it. That's how these games get underrated.....
TSW's world, lore, quests and atmosphere are all top notch and great.
the combat and skill wheel are horrible and overshadow all the aforementioned.
Pretty much this as far as I'm concerned. The game's combat and abilities were just so... horrible really. Which is a damn shame considering how awesome the setting is.
You know, that's the issue with so many mmos nowadays. They all fu*k up one key aspect of the game design, which ruins all the other near perfect aspects. There could be a buisness of selling these kinds of mmos to companies that actually give a sh*t about gutting the bad parts and adding a better one to make near perfect mmos on the cheap.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.

So you think its acceptable for someone to com in and say:
WoW is the most underrated game. It has amazing graphics and the group dungeons provide a perfect challenge.
Of course not, its a load of horse shit. It benefits no one because 99% of people are unlikely to form the same opinion. i would be overrating a game, and the op did not ask to overrate a game.
Now if I said instead:
WoW is the most underrated game. While the graphics may not be technically amazing, the style holds up quite well and the game has a ton of character because of it. I also have a ton of fun with my guildies working to get to a gold time on the challenge mode dungeons. people don't realize that there is a LOT to do besides just dailies.
Then that is more inline with the intent of this thread.

My computer is better than yours.
i'll have to give this mmo a try
EQ2 fan sites

TSW and Kerbal Space Program (although its not an mmo)
Trying to Play SWTOR.....but they keep making me re-download the game.
Easily the best PvE MMO released in the last 8 years. Easily.
Thriving? How come no one can talk about SWTOR without trying to promote "No really it's not that bad!" Why is there always an agenda?
People don't hate it because of "launch issues" they hate it because of the design.
Well, let's be honest, TSW is barely an MMO either. They added that bit in last minute when the CEO told them to make it an MMO.
That's because the SWTOR launcher was created by senile monkeys missing their thumbs. True story!
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play.

http://www.myth-of-soma.com
best game ever. Totally free. Remake of original myth of soma.
I agree that Mabinogi and Age of Wushu are underrated. Iruna online for Android is a cool little game too. All are worth checking out.
The Secret World hands down most under the radar and underated mmorpg out now.
Its a real shame also because in my opinion is a breath of fresh air as they say and one of the best/unique mmorpg experience in a long ass time.
TSW's world, lore, quests and atmosphere are all top notch and great.
the combat and skill wheel are horrible and overshadow all the aforementioned.

World of Warcraft for now.
Yes its under-rated especially here!

I believe all the games I play are pretty much where they are supposed to be
though site wise I guess I can say world of warplanes since most are in the WT camp

For mmo I currently play is mabinogi. Rather it's underrated or not varies.
