TERA-Online: We are a day away from the start of our Community Play Event, TERA's first test event of 2011. In a few short hours, hundreds of TERA community members will soon be exploring the untamed realms of the Island of Dawn and beyond, sharing their experiences with the world. To celebrate this milestone in the development of TERA, we have exciting news to share:
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.
Nice! ... what the hell is TERA?
