Grrr, that's not what this topic is about!

There's already a ginormous thread where you can talk about such things in detail:

Take it there, you two, thanks.

Not that I disagree with you that Tera is a very fun game so far, but you said "correct me if I'm wrong" and you are, but in sentiment only. The Arenanet guys are from Blizzard but they are not part of the highly touted Blizzard North group that are often referred to in the manner which you're using. These guys aren't cut from that same cloth. They just happened to be employed by Blizzard for a while.

Mike O'Brien is the president of ArenaNet and was one of the three founders of the company, along with Jeff Strain and Patrick Wyatt. He led the design and content teams for Guild Wars, and is the executive producer of Guild Wars 2.

Prior to founding ArenaNet, Mike O'Brien worked at Blizzard Entertainment for more than four years. He was the original creator and programmer of Battle.net, wrote the networking code for Diablo and Starcraft, and started the Warcraft III project as the team lead and lead programmer, personally writing the game's 3D rendering engine.

Mike was featured as one of the 25 most influential people in the game industry in PC Gamer's September 1999 cover story, "Game Gods".

The more you know.

GW2 is the new WoW as far as forums go. Anywhere you go, you get unrelated and irrelevant GW2 discussions injected. It's long past the point of being annoying.

I've literally been telling people for over 6 months that this game is good, but nobody believed me.

Now I get to relax in my "I told you so" comforter while drinking a fresh cup of GW2 fanboy tears.

You guys better sub to this game before all the promotional goodies run out.

This thread turned into a crappy thread about the failgame GW2 quickly o.O

Good for En Masse. 

I'm impressed how you guys manage to change every thread topic on Tera board into a Tera vs GW2 war. Lovely.

Jesus, no kidding.  This is why we can't have nice things, people!

Sorry to butt in on the festivities, it's great that Tera is reaching its market, but this thread is hardly indicative of the only GW2 vs. Tera arguing going on.  Just look at the Amazon reviews, nearly every one of them I read mentions GW2.  As far as I'm concerned the only comparable part of either game is the combat, but apparently they are at "war" with one another outside of MMORPG.com too, so you can't go blaming GW2 fans for everything.

^^Well, all that proves is that GW2 fans post on Amazon as well.  

:D

I'm not blaming only GW2 fans, I'm blaming both Tera and GW2 fans.

There is no war for Tera fans at least most of us just play the game  forum wars are for the bored and restless.  GW2 fans are just bored waiting for their game I would be to, it is either that or NCSOFT trying to take a few swings at Tera (conspiracy theory yadayada).  I mean I am surprised they aren't trying to go to war with wow the market leader.

I refuse to acknowledge any so called "war" between a release game and a beta game, it is like a country without land or sovereign authority going to war using an army that hasn't been trained and is more like a rabble. IE. it smells fishy and doesn't make sense.

     Haha sorry about that. Although I do have counters to your post Rexzshadow but I will reframe XD. Not like it matters much anyways. We'll see in 6 months or so who was right. The loser has to buy the winners Favorite game and give them 6 gold, deal? :p.

     In all seriousness I am glad for Tera. Its a fun game. I don't really get why people must choose one game over another to be honest. If you like it buy it. Sadly, unless Tera goes F2P, I probably won't hop in as I can't really afford subscriptions. Well, I COULD, but I don't want one to be more accurate.

     LOL Wicoa you are a genius for that metaphore. With your permition I will spread this word faster than the four winds of *insert favorite MMO world name here*.

Congrats TERA

Personally, I think the asian art style is terrible, but if people have found a game they like to play then that's what matters.

The only reason I bought through Amazon was because Enmass site rejected my card, now I have the game but cant subscribe... because enmass is rejecting my card!

I was Fu@*ed in the A!

Not that 30 year old men aren't going to be playing both. But certainly TERA and it's saturated pallette, flopping boobies and stuffed animal races does seem like it was meant for kids.

Asians actually.  The color palette is well designed to hold up to the passage of time, which is pretty common practice in MMOs these days.  Hell, Blizzard does it with all their games... thats why you have people raging about Diablo 3s pallette.

You also forget the massive half dragons and the walking fortress half-giants, which are pretty much  not in the cuties market.

They made the game to appeal to a wide audience.  Personally I find it childish to continue attacking it on that merit alone.
