Yes, I have noticed this too.  However, this will all change when they fix FOD and the CS (if they don't, sooner or later they will see that not fixing it is "cutting off their nose despite their face", and will fix it either way)

Gone are the days when people knew what the actual phrase was before using it...

They haven't set a ruleset in stone, however TERA is primarily a PvP game and the notion that it will be FFA is pretty widely accepted.  Castle sieges have also been confirmed to be a large part of the PvP system however not many details have been released about either subject. 

Been a big fan of this game for a while, and here's another video displaying why.

Age of Chivalry is a pretty popular half life 2 mod that utilizes this increased fatality setting.   A player can only sustain 1-2 swings from a melee and 1-3 shots from archery depending on the classes.   Instead of just being able to absorb hits to stay alive, you have to block, parry and strafe.  I could see this system being successful in an MMO if it was set up right. 

I'd personally go with ToS/Necro

What a bunch of babies.  You havent played the damn character in over half a year and it takes 3 hours to replace it and people are uninstalling?  People are just retarded...This is why no one plays games for years anymore.

I played beta and trust me in about 2 weeks (or there abouts) when the novelty of the brilliant map wears off and when the novelty of fighting like benny hill and ganking people wears off it will suddenly seem like a very empty and boring game.

In fact eventually you'll think, 'hold on this is just essentially a massive tech demo for their map' thats actually what the game feels like, the mechanics for the rest of it are so unbalanced and gimped and easy to exlpoit its not even funny.

Then why have I been in the beta for 2 months and still have a blast?  Maybe that's just your opinion?  And people maybe shouldn't just "trust you" on whether or not they will like it?

Not a quality review of this game at all. 

Think you mean two months ago...

You'll get a warning for it...

TCoS has the most incredible combat system of any MMO.  The 100% skill based combat, mixed with the sigil system in the skills for ability customization, the opener/closer combo system, and the PeP enhancements make fighting in this game a blast.  The combat alone makes it worth playing, before mentioning the PvP/PvE system.

It's too late today for any of this businness to take place, guess I'll check back tomorrow.

I like the style of this post, and oh yea, the points are good too.  Which brings me to...

....nice post by OP.

It's hard to make demands in a situation where you've won something, but you almost want atleast an explanation of why it's taking so long to send a list of names to someone who has already said they would send out the keys as soon as they've received the list.  But like I said, winners of this contest really can't make demands unfortunately, but alot of people are highly anticipating this and the "not knowing when" makes it worse.

Getting impatient again lol.  Wonder what mmorpg.com is doing with the completed list of winners...dancing around laughing at how pathetic we are?  Maybe trying to make us break our mouses by left clicking the refresh button...maybe...it's a conspiracy to keep us waiting 'til release in agonizing anticipation!

I would like to mention how commendable and refreshing it is for a PR representitive to take the initiative to update the community on a forum outside of their own, especially on a topic that has people dying with anticipation.  It's pretty reassuring.

Yes, TCoS beta did start years ago, since when do you need a publisher to start testing?

Still a few more slow pokes have to confirm before anyone gets their keys.

Computer science degree is your best bet.  Not an easy degree however.

Is there player looting in PvP?  Is there any benefit to being a PKer in the game?
