I just love the character selection in Tera. It has a very classy, mature feel to it. The art work in the game is so rich, never a dull moment just looking at the amazing world around you. Not to knock on Rift, EQ, or L2 (my most played MMO's) but this game brings me back to the old days when a video game took you to another place. 

What you just said does not give me any idication that it is a "real fantasy world" it only tells me that its visuals are Aion 2.0.  What about the WORLD itself? Does it feel like a world or does it feel like a hallway?

The world I have explored is quite expansive and atmospheric. True, the game dows have a bread crum quest arc. But I definitly  feel the world is rungs above anything i'v played before.

Exactly, once I got to Velika, it truely felt huge, open and massive.

I went off exploring over the mountains to the desert, it's just so open and huge. Really has a nice atmosphere.

Its kinda sad how many folks are so shallow to say its this game 2.0 or that game 2.0. why dont you just stop and read the quests and realise its a different story? Who frikkin cares if it has the same shade of green as wow or the same shade of blue as Aion that dont mean they are remotely the same world or story.

If what your after is the end game then stick with what your playing and you wont need to bother other people playing other games.

It is a nice game, nice story, nice mechanics. While at the moment it seems a bit dead just grinding quests. I was hoping for a bit more with dynamic events but i am only lvl 10 atm. ITs fun.

The world felt boring to me, just boring. Some people may like it, but I found it uninteresting.

If your talking about me, then dont start raging. I specifically said the "visuals are Aion 2.0" that is all. I made no other implication that this game copied Aion or is similar to Aion.  So calm down.

And thank you op, thats exactly what I was wondering.  I'm happy to hear that the world is open and feels like a world.  It seems like we have gone through a few launches lately that have been the exact opposite.

Hopefully Tera's light following in Asia means its more in line with what the West likes and doesnt just suck after 50 hours.  Thanks for your post OP.

Nice! I've got ways to go on my download, so I won't get to play until tomorrow.

Tera is the 9th most played PC game in Korea right now. its right behind WoW which is 8th.  It is also one of the few mmo's in asia that requires a sub which asians are wary of. Just like lots of people in the West are wary of FTP mmo's

Aren't all video games "real fantasy worlds"?

Oh hm. The subscription thing makes sense.  Guess I just heard wrong.  Regardless, this game is a "wait and see" for me.

You annoy me, you completely hate the game after probably not even leaving the tutorial island. You have no right to comment until you actually play a game.

You annoy me, you completely hate the game after not leaving the starting zone, the amount of zones in TERA that look absolutely amazing is not even fathomable and you judge if off your 5 hours in BETA. Pisses me the hell off.

Yeah the game world seemed very linear and just like the same old to me.  And the games ai tottaly boggs down and after 10 mins of playing the whole moving and aiming has you begging for some tab targeting...

Not at all. If anything, its at least twice more open than SWTOR for example

Completely open

Tera is as real fantasy world as Aion was. However, it isn't twice as open as SWTOR..even though it is more open than your standard themepark MMO.

SWTOR is as guided as it gets. TERA is much more open than your normal themepark MMO for sure.

Eh, depends where you go, some places are just a giant open field that is just ridiculously huge. Plus any mountain or whatever you can find a way to climb onto it or over it.

The horse in TERA is better than the Skyrim horse for god sake.

Did you get off the starting area?

DID YOU GET OFF THE STARTING AREA?

We need to start asking this, seriously. How can anyone say this after going against the BAM in the Isle of Dawn, part of their main quest line?
