Are you sure MO uses Atlas? Coz i havnt seen Atlas logo anywhere. Niether in game nor the web.

What bothers me is, can i buy it now, and start my 30 days in may?
Because i would love to tak a look at EQ as i never played EQ1, but i'm totally out of free time now - end of the project at work.

1. That's not the case - characters move smoothly.
2. That is the case. Some parts of the world are prettier than other.
3. Mobs respawn in the same spots, in earlier levels they insta respawn. I'm not sure if nodes spawn all in the same places - but it seems they do.
4. Combat is faster and more fun than in Aion.
5. My korean is nonexistant, so i'm not sure what the names of the stuff were in CBT3.
6. There are lots of quests. Having full quest log is common thing.

The same is with Tera. Clases are defined by skills, and skills are using certain weapon types. So even if you could use lance ona a mage, it wouldnt do you any good as mage does not have any skills that use lance.

It works perfectly well as it is. The game is enough fun to play as designed so you dont have to make mele mage or healing archer to make it interesting.

I would rather like developers working on something more meaningful than leting every class use every weapon. There is a lot of work with that, balance issues will come up, so if they stick to current design they can use all that time to do something totally different.

Interesting, what was the context?

The context was that Epic is not fixing what you have messed up when you are licensee. They can point you in the right direction, they can fix bugs in their code if you find one, but they wont make your game for you.

Some other MMOs based on UE3 i have played some betas of prove that there is no problem with UE3. ABP and TERA dont have any troubles with synchronization, lag and most of those games work just smooth, i would say they are perfect compared to MO. All the fault lies in SV incompetence and talking with EPIC support wont help them much.

I have been working with Unreal Engine for over a year. You dont imagine how vague their support can be. If you don't understand what you are doing yourself, Epic wont be able to help you much. And there is a lot you can mess up in the code, it seems SV guys have a lot of experinece doing that (i mean messing the code)

Just get your client and try for yourselves while its still open beta. That way you will be able to judeg it yourself without any bullshit from people.

For me after the patch, once i go through characet selection i'm stuck on loading world.
Well, that is what i thought after few tries. In fact it is loading just fine but displays loading screen all the time. I wouldn't notice it loaded fine if i didnt fell asleep waiting for it to load and moved my mouse while banging my head on the table...

I love this game!
Rocket pigs, driver deers, flying humans... Menagerie is just impressive!

We got the same letter for Champions Online life subs.
OMG! I forgot i have really bought one... That reminds me how stupid i'm...

I wonder what the special LS item is... sombrero of shame? or what?

@OP: Have you ever watched Diablo or Diablo 2 videos? They seem really boring. They seemed to me, but once i started i just couldn't stop. The same is with TERA. That action does not look especially interesting when watching movies, but once you start you can't stop.

All the clases play difrent - all are fun in a different way, and it's really hard to decide which one of them you want to play.

Also TERA's Warrior is more like a Rogue from other games than usual warrior.

The action is fast paced and i couldn't get enough of it during 10 days of CBT3.

Monsters at the starting areas, which most movies show - are fairly easy and no real problem, but you CAN get killed by them. Monsters further in the game are much more interesting, and they often come in groups and call for backup if you don't deal with them fast enough.

I played almost all P2P MMOS and a few F2P, but what i've seen in CBT3 was the best experience ever. Of course not everything is perfect, but compared to other recently released MMOs, TERA is just too good. I would gladly pay double the monthly fees of the other games to be able to play it. It's worth it.

edit: And i forgot to mention that there is so many quests you outlevel them before you are able to finish them all. So there is no usual korean grind in this game. Plus the combat is so fun it's pleasure to fight just for the sake of it anyway. I don't know - maybe it can get boring after few months, but i don't think it will even be as boring as target and spam skills system from all the older mmos.

I'm not sorry for them whatsoewer. How many times do they need to be cheated to learn their lesson? Funcom have lied so many times that by now everybody should learn that they can't be trusted.

OP: excellent article!

You my son, are HARDCORE now =P

ROTFL :)

You (OP) are totally right.
But there is light of hope in the tunnel. Some Korean MMOs are trying some new solution, the most promising is TERA with it more dynamic combat sytem and rich world. That however is going to be released in 2011... menatie there are no MMOS to play. Well, it's sad but, WoW is the best there is now on the market, but we are all fed up with that.

Maybe coz the true acronym for this game is what you get when you throw away tal and line...

Oh well... hope is such a strong force :)

"Dangit...sorry guys, I'll have to sit this round out...just broke another heel."

LOL. Thats a selling point though!
I want to be excited for TERA, I really do, but I am at the point of not putting any faith into any game until I have chance to play it. Been burned WAY to many times these last..... 5-6 years. ** Looking at you Cryptic, SOE, NCSoft, 90% of game developers **

---

You have good attitude, after so many failures i'm thinking the same. Just i have played Tera already and OMFG, this was the best MMO experience ever!

Of course you need to try it yourself, just i want to note - don't miss it, coz you gona love it.

In the current rate of dev progressions, you would beter save yout free month for your grand son.

So which engine did Blizzard licensed?

Not that the other things that should be there were of any real value :)
