Feel free to check one of the thousands of theads disputing the above claim. It wasn't a hit out of the gate because it lacked content. That is no longer the case.
Spin it as much as you want. Servers merged and even if they have added content the price in japan is exaggerated, I havent seen any news of their sudden success foricng them to open all the servers again.
The game may be in a better state now but that does not mean its a success.
I hope its good! I ordered it and it should be here by the end of next week! I need something to play in between GW2 betas and it's release. I played some of the Tera beta and it seemed fun. No I'm not knocking Tera or claiming GW2 is better. I just love playing MMORPGs.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
If all you have to point at is how the game did a year and a half ago I think TERA is going to do great! Lol. Since you did bring up the, not related at all to NA/EU TERA, past you know why K and J TERA did bad I'm assuming? If you did you wouldn't be bringing it up now but maybe you have an angle we haven't heard before.
I played in the Open Beta of Tera and leveled a Slayer up to 32. The graphics are amazing, the combat intense and fun. I don't think I can ever play a target and autoattack game ever again. With Tera, you aim your attacks, do evasive rolls to dodge devastating blows, block attacks, and perform combinations to slay your foes. This is a new age MMO, and the developers have really brought the full package to our doorsteps. I've played all the main fantasy MMOs out, most to the maximum levels with tons of alts, and I can tell you, this game is going to crush them all. I believe this game is underhyped and not nearly enough people are taking this game seriously because of guild wars 2. But let me tell you, this game is phenominal and I will be playing it again this Saturday! Awesome game. Check it out, try it out.
one word, not even word, more like action.
JA!
good joke, will keep looking out for the next one.

And i don't see how being the third most played mmorpg and the 8th played game in korea is bombing.
And even if it was bombing i don't see how this can influence western success, since the status of a game in Korean never meant anything for the western market.

Seeing that it bombed in Korea and in Japan, I do not think Tera deserves to be called the next big thing.
The type of combat has been done before with vindicus and dragons nest. prob a few other games have done it also.
Also the title has been used so much it just makes things worse for tera.
vindictus and dragon crap are not mmos. if ppl consider these crap mmo then i feel sry for
anw tera----->vindictus and dragon crap with eaze and style
nobody talks about these 2 craps u mention anymore why???? i gues these games sucks balls
I don't think TERA is "the next big thing." I'm no longer sure I think any game is "the next big thing." Having been let down by SW:TOR and now GW2, that really only leaves TSW and ArchAge. Given Funcom's track record, TSW is a longshot, and I feel that ArchAge is too much of a niche game to have mass appeal. With that said, at this point I personally think TERA is the best out of all the recently released MMORPGs to have come out in the past year.
I wouldn't call TERA the next big thing. Actually i wouldn't call any MMO the next big thing anymore. I played the first few CBTs of this game and i hated it. It just felt so bland and grindy and i just couldn't bring myself to play it, no matter how pretty. Me and my fiance just shook our heads and couldn't believe how boring it felt. Now fast forward to headstart. I still pre-ordered the game from gamestop (though cancelled it) and my account still shows that i pre-ordered, so i decided "why not i'll do it again." And i was just amazed at how much fun i had. Just a few months ago i would tell people it was nothing special, but now sitting down and playing all weekend, i had a blast. The combat system is fun, getting a BAM down half way by yourself just makes you feel like a bad-ass all around until it squishes your head in because you got careless. Hell, i even tried out GW2 on my fiances account and i got bored with that (still will get GW2 though, just when its on the cheap).
Just like everyone here is saying, the game is not for everyone. The combat makes it feel different, that is the selling point, but not the rest of the game. I encourage people to try it out, but i would never tell people to buy it.

I agree that there is no "next big thing" anymore. No MMO will hit 11 million co-occurent users again for many many years, if ever. People just have to realise that you don't need 11 million players to be successful and that it is better to have a smaller and more dedicated playerbase, so that future content is not dumbed down for everyone like in WoW. I really started to miss the old days of TBC before discovering TERA.
Even WoW is losing players and in a 5 years or maybe even less it will be close to the numbers of other sub mmos. WoW won't die, but it will diminish and then Blizzard will actually have to try and cater to a specific playerbase, it will definently improve their game.
Well... those are my thoughts. The days of 11 million sub mmos are slowly coming to an end and people need to accept that and play what they like, not what they think is popular.
Tried it..3 times. Tried to like it ..really did. Its pretty to be sure..but not being able to move while attacking/casting is a deal breaker for me. It will find its niche and I hope its successful but truly revolutionary it is not.
GW2 all the way for me since you can atatck and move at the same time : )

Please don't advertise another game in the TERA forums :P
We have heard enough of the "I can't move while attcking" argument. Just play any real action game an you will see the same mechanics. If you don't like action games, TERA is not for you. Just go back to the GW2 forums and discuss your favorite game. Do you see me posting how good TERA is in the GW2 forums or any forums of another game?
