"Today, we had to let go of some of the great talent at En Masse Entertainment. While a tough decision, it was necessary as we prepare for the next chapter of our business. TERA has been a great launch for us, and we are committed to you guys, our loyal players. We’re taking measures to align the needs of our business to continue supporting TERA and preparing for our future. We are working with those affected by this transition, including offering assistance on new prospects within the industry/area. Rest assured this doesn’t change our plans for awesome game updates and support, including the huge Argon Queen update later this month." http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/news-announcements/topics/A-Tough-Day-at-En-Masse- |

So sad. I hope the affected people find new work soon.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

This was updated on the official forums, although the thread is now closed.
Korean news is reporting that EME laid off 25% of its staff (20 out of 80 staff members) due to not hitting their target of 20 million dollars profit in NA. Speculation is that BHS is restructuring EME to make way for FTP. When asked a representative from BHS; their response was "No comment".

Strangely, they weren't the only ones. Back in spring, I saw a lot of people claiming TERA would threaten GW2, TSW and TOR.

Let's face it, TERA was never going to be big.

Originally posted by pensseliseta Yeah, TOR flopped. TSW isn't doing great, either. Even GW2 can still flop in one way or another. However, it's pretty obvious TOR didn't flop because of TERA. TERA never threatened TOR. BioWare was what threatened and killed it. |

The problem these games are running into is market saturation. Think about it. We have more MMO's now than ever. With more on the way. The managers and analysts at these companies are thinking WoW numbers when market circumstances pretty much make WoW numbers impossible. And to make matters worse, they are thinking that they will pull off WoW type numbers by doing the exact same things or making very minor changes.

Market is only saturated in the WoW sub-genre (because it became a sub-genre). The problem is not coming from the market, but from the studios not even willing to stand out from that sub-genre ;)

Originally posted by dekou Yeah Tor flopped hard, but thats what you get coming in the market with an unfinshed game preaching you are the WoW killer. TSW will be a niche game, will have its handful of hardcore fans and will do ok for a while. GW2 I believe will be fine, its buy to play and offers quite a bit more in content and will be significantly more finished and polished that most games we have seen in years, all the GW2 betas ran significantly smoother than games already launched and online for months/years. This is just my opinion though. As far as Tera goes, if this game launched 5yrs(ish) ago it would hands down be my favorite game, when I play it every part of me screams I should love this game but I don't, besides the combat system the big awesome things you get to fight I am just bored of this game, its that been there done that 6598908058 times now feeling that kills it for me. IMO Tera is going to flop, and once GW2 launches that will be its first nail in the coffin, once Lineage 3 releases its will take Tera down for the kill. |

Originally posted by Zetsuei boobs and lolis make a game instant success in asia, i love asian mmos. But when you try to add a sub to an asian mmo to cater NA players, things dont end up very well. TERA would be a bigger success as F2P... note: by asian mmo i mean exactly that.... asian themed, asian art style and far more grindy and generic progression than western mmos. But i still love them, just make them free to play "in peace, in sleep under the barren, abandoned soil"

they were shooting for a mark of 20 million and didn't make it? Thats it? They should have left the models like they were in asia, offered a lifetime membership for the cost of six months subs with only a 2 week window for purchase. They would have easily made it.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick. |
