So who cares if there is no huge game out, still good for Tera, its a well made game and lots of fun.
I am personally quite happy it did not sell 2 million copies. the players that bought it seem to be on the most part quite happy with the product.

Just Kidding. No really though, it's a great little game that nobody exptected to blow the charts off like GW2 will when every WoW tween grabs that one off the shelf. Just a good sign that Tera is holding it's own and carving a little piece of the pie for itself. |

Originally posted by loeslein I'm confused as to why people that play GW2 are "WoW tweens" and people that play TERA are not. If anything, I feel like the art in TERA is for hormonally charged tweens and little girls that like cute teddy bears.
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. SWTOR is the greatest mmo ever! |

Originally posted by Entropy14 Me too, but pointing to a list where games are either old or obscure is not a reliable means to measure it's success. Also FYI Tera is now holds the fourth spot. |

As is this post! Really, why exactly did you have to post it? If you don't like Tera (which is apparent) then just move on.
Otherwise...congrats EM and Tera! |

Maybe I was wrong and Tera did come out a good time, right between other bigger games. Good news for fans. Enjoy! no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by Eliandal I'm sorry, where exactly is it apparent that I dislike Tera? Just injecting a little bit of reality into this discussion, again touting a game as succesful because it's on the top 10 list of a relatively obscure part of Amazon that I'm sure a lot of gamers are unaware of is quite frankly a bit silly. |

@Dilusional
Did you inform Massively that what they were reporting on something silly? Don't kill the messenger. Injecting reality? More like angst. Lighten up :) Just not worth my time anymore. |

I saw that earlier today. They also had some awesome deals on some single player rpgs like last year's" Desus Ex: Human Revolution" for around seven dollars. Much cheaper than even Steam. |

Is there any particular reason you spelt my name that way? Regardless, like most journalism Massively report on filler that usually means nothing but they have to add something so they don't draw the ire of the head editor, like most newspapers. Seriously though - this is a public forum, I am expressing my opinon.. there is no angst at all. If you want a place where everoyne just sings the praises of your game constantly then post in the official forums.

Originally posted by colddog04 A big part of the 11 million subscribers to WoW are pretty dedicated to Blizzard. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the team behind Guild Wars is a break off group from Blizzard. They don't really consider other games or games that have substantially different styles or gameplay to be relevent. Also, how are people "playing" GW2? I thought it only had beta weekends. The game doesn't even have a release date. Oh wait, you're trolling. And I bit. Hopefully this won't turn into another GW2 vs. TERA debate. As for the OP, I'm happy about it. TERA is a great game and after all the blatent and poorly made money-grabbing clone MMOs that have come out in the past couple years, every news of it selling well is good to me. I want it to do well because that means more resources for them to continue making the game great for me. |

@Dimensional
Yes, you can post whatever your heart desires on these boards and if it's your opinion that the peramiters of the article "don't mean anything" them so be it. You have spent a lot of effort talking about something that "doesn't mean anything" so I'm getting mixed signals. Just not worth my time anymore. |

Originally posted by holdenhamlet Um, no I was serious. I don't understand how someone could see one as a kiddie game and one as an adult game. He said it, not me. I could see how both could be kiddie games.
It looks pretty obvious based on the color saturated, over sexualized, teddybear-like graphical style and linear questing content that "WoW tweens" (his words) would be more attracted to TERA than GW2.
Even if you look at the combat, it tends to be more action oriented which tends to draw a younger audience in general. Old people tend to prefer the systems they are accustomed to because they have gotten used to the systems over the years. If anything, GW2 combat is meant for a generation that tends to be older. SWTOR is the greatest mmo ever! |

Originally posted by holdenhamlet 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. |

Well, dang. Excluding the mmo fanbois and haters on these forums, I didn't think anyone even knew about Tera. |
