Today’s release of the first patch for massively multiplayer online (MMO) videogame TERA will see the political system undergoing an expansion. As of tomorrow, players with a level 50 character that also proudly serves as a guild leader will be able to run for office in fifteen provinces. Following this update, on 23rd May at 11:00am BST, all characters level 20 and above will be able to decide which players will be the first Vanarchs to be immortalised in TERA‘s history books.
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.
