PCGamer: "Whilst battle is a deep and satisfying affair, TERA’s questing system offers nothing you’ve not seen elsewhere. For a large proportion of your journey to the upper levels, it looks like you’ll be travelling to destination A to kill X amount of Y, to then return your collection of item Z to area B. The developers are keen to emphasise that there’s little to no grind in TERA, but that’s not strictly true.
Whilst you won’t be grinding outside of quests to gain the needed XP, the quests in themselves seem frequently grind based. There may be pretty cutscenes to break them up, but TERA doesn’t offer the much needed revolution MMOs require on the questing front."
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.
Subscription-charging MMO I will try it(open beta if it becomes available) but I will most likely end up leaving it something that free. Better off waiting on GW2 hopefully that won't be p2p.
