The Discovery Edition is the new free trial available for players interested in giving TERA a try.

How do I download TERA?

For the Discovery Edition of TERA you will want to use the Happy Cloud installer. This will allow you to get playing as quick as possible!

If I have done the 7 day trial, can I upgrade to the Discovery Edition?

Yes, your account will automatically be upgraded to a Discovery Edition account!

Can I use a chronoscroll on a Discovery Edition account?

You may purchase a chronoscroll on a Discovery Edition account, but you may not use it. To use a chronoscroll, you must have a full copy of TERA.

Only if you're a new player. Bullshit I paid for the game and was only able to put a small amount of time in. So if I sign up with a new account I can play to lvl 28 but since I paid for it I must resub. I'm lvl 13 and should have the same account type as the new people since I'm not 28. Sorry but En masse entertainement just lost me for good.

if your only level 13, either resub or make a new account with a different email and play till 28.

this kind of practice is the way almost every thing works,  cable compaines give new subscribers better deals.   phone combines sell you phones cheap with a NEW 2 year plan.

at worst, if you make a new account and play to level 28 and decide you want to keep playing just buy a new copy for 20.00 which gives you a free month, and you only lost 5 bucks.

Well sorry to say your wrong. Rift is just rift lite and I can still login and make a low lvl toon up to 15. World of war craft not sure but don't really care. Oh and since I own swtor I'll get a few extras since I payed for the game. So what now. I think its BS sorry no reason that anyone who has paid for the game shouldn't be able to jump in and play to 28.

I didn't buy it a launch got it like two months ago.

you can put it how ever you want its still bs and you know it. No reason they can't just open it up for everyone. Oh wait they can't, they want to make that 5 bucks right, yeah but no thanks. I 'll save my money and just not buy a en masse/ bluehole game ever again that easy.

Not sure why you rage so hard over tera.

SWTOR didn't allow you to play with an ex-sub account as till tomorrow the 15. (F2P)
It's common practise in P2P games, even rift did that for a year.

If you can't be bothered to spend one month for a sub and are just "trying" out, why are you not willing to put 2 minutes into the creation of a new account?

I understand your point, but does it realy matter? At the end of the day you are still gonna need to pay a box and a sub.

It's a unlimited time Free Trial, not "F2P."  You said it yourself.

Level 13 is an hour (if that much).  Just create a new account with a new email address.

It's spelled "paid" FFS.

 What if I do get into it this time around and want to play then I would have to buy it again and thats just a waste since I already paid for it. No worrys I'm sure it'll be F2P soon enough.

lol yes it is spelled "paid" my bad

It may have lost a player in you, but thanks to your information and links they have just found another player in me (downloading now).

Considering this sites demographic, it's likely they have got a few more new players from your post, so in total, they are probably doing better thanks to you.

Of course, this may have been your objective all along  /emote narrows eyes *pops on tinhat*

I kind of disagree. Essentially, you already purchased Tera. Theoretically you were "sold" and ready to make the purchase. Which you did. All this is, is a way to "sell" to someone else who doesn't have the game.

There is no reason to convince you to buy as you already made that leap.

It takes a little bit longer than an hour to get to level 13, especially if you pick certain classes. Also, Island of dawn (noob island) is by far the worst experience in TERA outside the first dungeon (bastion of lok).

Speaking as someone who's done virtually everything in TERA, I can be honest when I say this. If you didn't like it when you paid for it, you damn sure won't like it when there isn't money involved (tripple negative lol). It's the same game for the most part. I personally have stopped logging in everyday, and when I do I just talk to guildies who aren't on vent. I use chronoscrolls to keep my account active incase I feel an itch to play, but until they pump out more content that's probably the only reason I'll log in.

In truth, TERA's real problem is the lack of actual content in the game. The only thing to do in the game currently is grind. There's absolutely nothing outside of grinding to do in the game. 1 very (very) flawed PVP type battleground limited to only level 60's just doesn't cut it. -inb4 "STOP HATING NOOB DO YOU HAVE FULL +12 VISIONMAKER?" No, I do not. After failing countless times over and over again on enchants post "enchanting buff" patch, the lack of actual profit from doing hardmode dungeons, the lack of ANYTHING to do in the game besides grind, and the limited outlook this game has I just lost the will to play.

Its not that I didn't like it work just started up and didn't have the time to play. Thanks for letting me know about the content. 

Guess I'll move on till they make some changes.

This I can agree with. I still have my sub and since I don't minding grinding I just fight monsters for drops/cash but in truth they need to give more of a reason to be there.

More pvp options perhaps though my preference is land control through pvp and that might not be fair to expect every game to cater to that.

Yeah this is the same thread I posted over a week ago here (it's still in the front page of TERA in MMORPG.com)

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/477/view/forums/thread/368794/TERA-Discovery-Edition.html

They did this level cap increase, and chances are they will increase it again in the future or go F2P altogether. They have talked about this in the past so those options are still on the table.
