I originally read that Ncsoft was going to scrap the code for lineage 3 so employees stole it to continue development and it was Tera..After reading this i wont play Tera anymore.I have a personal beef with Ncsoft but Tera is actually the reason there is no Lineage 3 right now....And not the other way around.I hope they still make Lineage 3.

Well there is Archeage which is Jake Song and Jake Song was L1 and L2 so IMO Archeage is L3

I am really looking forward to that game...the only thing i dont like about it though is none of the gear i have seen looks that great.I am hoping the gameplay i have seen is lower/medium levels and characters really can look much more powerful and styling.

I am really glad that Blade & Soul has pretty much been the final blow to Tera in korea.Ncsoft west can be shady and they milk subs from bots without caring about fan base leaving over it but NCsoft in Korea does make some great games with some of the best mechanics and ideas.People said Tera had great combat but if you look at Blade & Soul its like poetry.

Just read the filing for the first time, wow that is really disapointing. They really pulled a number on Nc Soft, I really regret spending money on Tera.

Yeah me too.

Wow. Just Wow. How on earth did they get away with releasing TERA in the East in the first place, let alone in the West. This was not just plagiarism, it was basically a copy-paste of Lineage 3 code.

Basically a load of staff that were working on Lineage3 got pissed off when NCSoft scrapped it, so they stole all of the project resources and went and bult TERA. They have even been convicted of this in numerous courts. Why was TERA even allowed to be released?

That is a good question. I think it mostly has to do with NCSoft being slow to press charges. It has been 3 or 4 years since the code was stolen and now BlueHole has had time develope a tonn of stuff on top of what they stole. If NCSoft was able to get a cease and desist order arround the time the code was first stolen TERA never would have made it to release.
