I know that price is pretty standard, for subscription MMO's these days, but with the movement to Free2Play/Microstransactions, and AAA title subscription free games like GW2, I'm finding the $15 US per month pretty hard to swallow. Once upon a time, it would be a no brainer to plonk down my $15 for a month of playtime with TERA... now days, I can't justify that cost, with so many other games of similar quality, out there for me to play instead. |

"To that, I say don’t judge us on our size and our budgets," Like that worked so well for EA, with SW:ToR. "but instead judge us on our skill and ability to react to your needs as a player." Like on how fast you cave to the vocal minority, and nerf things into oblivion? |

My experience was enjoyable and if I could justify spending the money on the game and a sub I would certainly do it. The combat was fun and challenging, the graphics were at par with any modern game. The only negative for me was the questing, but that is an aspect that I can over look if the rest of the game delivers. I am holding out for TSW and GW2. One for the pvp without a sub, and the other for the challenge of the questing. I hope that the "thinking" part of TSW will give me some entertaining obstacles to overcome. |

I didnt play the OB because I thought they were doing a wipe! Now its going to be even harder to play on a Pvp server D: |

I found the game not to my liking but I wish them well. The more choices we have the better. |

The European version by Frogster will be having a character wipe after open beta. |

I thought what I'd do is I'd pretend I was one of those Deaf-mutes. |

Name one instance? if anything they have not listened to the whining on forums, except when they felt it was an issue, like dungeon rewards. Do you not like rewarding random dungeons over server runs? |

I respect En Masse so much for how they have delt with this game. After Aion I was very turned off by Korean made MMOs essentially burned by the fact that it had let me down so badly. After looking at Tera I initially thought "same old same old" until I got into a closed beta. I was hooked from the first few seconds of a fluid and smooth gameplay, that most MMOs don't even accomplish these days with their jerky F2P controls. Thank you for your awesome customer support, listening to the majority and filtering out the right from the wrong. |

I am a GW2 fan but... I was quite impressed with this one. TERA filled my eyes and has quite enjoyable gameplay. Polished and beautifull, action combat system on a standard best of classic mmo pilar. Not very innovative but it has room to evolve. It can be a good deal! I enjoyed this past days better than I did with SWTOR (major turn down for a SW fan... lightsaber party!) and Rift (quite a nice WoW clone with Rifts... Actually they were going to call it "WoW CloneTM" but as the only diference from WoW were the rifts they decided to call it "RiftTM") betas. Side note: WoW is still a great game. |

Hopeful for the game but will want to see what the devs have in store for it, how the community matures and that support is, well supportive. If in 6 months time if things look promising I'll give it a shot. Have a few friends hooked on the game already and will be playing day 1 but I'm a little more cautious of a developer I don't know and trust. |

I'm in the UK, been playing the beta which I really enjoyed. So took the plunge and pre-ordered.... The confirmation email quotes the wrong subscription, half of it is unreadable gibberish with a few miscellaneous special characters thrown in for good measure. No sign of the security key, and no reponse to any of the support tickets I have raised. Frogster? They are working hard to get up to the level of totally incompetent. At the moment thay are way below this. |

Such a pretty game but it's not to my tastes, had my fill of fantasy mmorpg's now, they just don't have any longevity unless you like grinding or raiding (which is still grinding of a different sort). |

The graphics are good but the art style is not for me. On top of that, the meh reaction to a lot of people who have been playing it make it a pass. Guild Wars 2 seems much more promising. Guess we will find out tomorrow! |

So less than $1 a day is hard (sorry if i don't know your expenses)... How can these dev hope to stay in business in sub model fails.. Heck ArenaNet should be lucky they stayed in business this long, not becuase Guild wars was good or anything but becuase they didn't have a steady stream on cash coming in, Xpac's only about cover the cost to develop the Xpacs with a few left over to profit from.. Why do you think the are now opening the cash shop, you need cash to maintain stuff and to pay staffers too along with customer service etc.. Person just have this mental block that $15 a month is alot (sorry again if i don't know all your expenses).. Heck to see a movie in NY is $22 (Imax), $14 (reg) and thats just for 2hr worth on entertainment.. |

But which mmo are you going to play that doesn't have grind, reguardless of the type on genre.. Heck, even in CoD and Battlefield you grind, its just how that grind is presented that the important thing.. |
