BT writes: It has been over a year since The Exiled Realm of Arborea (TERA) was initially released in Korea to insatiable applause as well as scornful looks from the rest of the world. While the game featured an action-adventure style of gameplay instead of the traditional point and click scheme that had made Massively Multiplayer RPG’s one of the pinnacles of PC gaming, the game’s Korean roots were apparent and hard to ignore as the game was an incredibly grindy experience in almost every aspect of character development.
Now that the title has surfaced on distant shores in both North America and Europe, there is much to do for those who waited patiently. But, is this an MMO that is easily conquered, or will the erosion of interest in the game dwindle before the task is complete?
Long-running MMORPG Tera will be closing on June 30 and Gameforge and Krafton have published a video that serves as a farewell.
No fan wants to see Tera shutting down, but unfortunately, developer Bluehole is closing the game's servers (on PC, anyway) to work on other projects.
Good, this game was great when it launched, but it's been turned into a nightmare of a product since.
Some WoW-like MMORPGs are better than others. Here's a curated list that offers a wide variety of games that let you play with other people but have something unique to offer.
WoW is a mess and it will continue to be a mess. Still, the less-developed MMOs are going to have trouble gaining a fan base because they lack content right now. Even if people do flock to FF14 or BDO, they'll go back to WoW if they fix enough features or give players a shred of hope.
