MMOSite writes: In the weeks approaching the official launch of TERA, I was nothing if not excited. A beautiful world, gorgeous characters and a compelling combat system-what's not to like, right? When the game launched, I eagerly plunked down my $60 (Collector's Edition!), and jumped into the game world. I even wrote a couple of TERA journals for MMOSite to document my experiences.
Now, just a few weeks later, I'm over TERA. The exciting, attractive game I was expecting just didn't turn out to be the game that I got. After the first few days, there was nothing in TERA that compelled me to keep playing, besides attempting to get the most out of my non-refundable digital purchase. So what happened? How did I go from completely amped on the game to totally bored in less than a month?
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.
