At this year's E3 Expo Debbie Timmins from The Average Gamer checked out an upcoming MMORPG called TERA. This is what she thought of it:
"Seriously… learning to recognise the attack animations of a dozen different mobs, learning the counter-attacks to each of those attacks, paying attention to the aggro range of nearby targets and watching out for your team-mate’s health bar isn’t enough? You want me to constantly point my mouse at the target while dodging multiple enemies as well?"
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.
