9 graphics

8 combat

4 quests

id say Rift is an all around better MMO but if you tried Rift and are tired of it like me I'd give TERA a try for a little change of pace.. don't expect much from it..

It's the best leveling experience I've had in an MMO.

Not much to do at level cap although Nexus should be added "very soon" and battlegrounds to come later.

In response to the OP, there are lots of dungeons to do while leveling up.  PVP is mostly unorganized and only on PVP servers.

To me it's basically vanilla WoW with much better combat/graphics.

I played the game for a couple of weeks and cant say that I am overly enthusiastic to load the game. The game is gorgeous and the combat is fun but the game is an extreme themepark game which means it is on rails so I got quickly bored (lvl 20 Priest is my highest char but I have tried them all except Sorceror).

I play on the PvP server and the only PvP I have seen is getting ganked a couple of times, other than that nothing.

I still got some time left so I will continue level my Priest to see if the game opens up but I am pretty bored to be honest.

This is pretty much how I felt. It is typical questing MMO. I keep logging on and trying different things out, but I rarely last more than an hour. I also didn't know that battlegrounds are currently NOT part of the NA version, which was a massive let down.

TERA is a good game. I played swtor for a bit before, and I think TERA was better for me. However, as many already pointed out, quests in TETA are very repetitive. Main storyline is somehow interesting, but i lost track what is happening anyway. However, I found that if u want to rush through quests u will get very board very quickly. Therefore, I started doing other things in tera than just quests. I started helping lowbes with quests, doing some crafting and enchanting, etc. This gives me good break from time to time from the quests.

Tl;dr

U should try tera, but be ware of repetitive quests. 

At this moment, no.  I've played up to lvl 49 and finally hit wall a little bit ago.  I'll list my main reasons I will not be resubbing and hopefully give you a little insight into the game.

1. The world is indeed beautiful, however, it serves no purpose beyond being a container for mobs.  Off the trail exploration will not be found here.
2. A good chunk of the zones are not that expansive.  If anything, if you notice the onscreen map. ( The see through map with the roads.)  You will pretty much follow those roads to each quest hub.  The zones are built around those roads.
3. The cities are tiny and lifeless.  Castanica - the major city of the Castanic race.  It is literally just 2 small streets.  Velika - the first main city you reach.  It will take 10 minutes to fully explore it and it really does not have much to explore.  The only reason to visit the cities are for the glyph store and quests that send you there.  Nothing else really.
4. The combat is not that great, imo.  I've played games and multiple genres for many years.  The action combat does not hold a candle to plenty of other action games.  I'm accustomed to playing action games that are at a higher pace than this game.
5. The mobs and bams become dull after awhile.  I've been fighting the same mobs give or take a couple new ones from lvl 1 and bams since lvl 22.  Once you memorize the attack patterns of the mobs.  You will be doing the same rotation for pretty much all of them. 
6. Dungeons are not that interesting.  Oddly enough, I thought this game would be badass going through dungeons, however, Vindictus does this alot better with its combat and dungeons.  The bosses I've fought pretty much have the same skill sets as the bams outside the dungeons.  However, there are a few that do have unique mechanics to them.
7. Do not expect too many differences in armor and weapon styles.  Majority of the armors look the same for each tier but with different coloring and the next tier will look a like an older tier but with a little added flair.
8. Dungeon queue will be long for you if you do not roll a tank.  I've lately had to run pugs because the group I was with have outleveled me or have not logged on for awhile.  So now I pretty much wait an hour+ to get in a group.  Shame that lancers are the only ones with an instant que.  However, you can still spam LFG to get a group going if enough are going for the same dungeon.
9. Crafting in this game is not good at all.  The costs just to lvl it up is extravagant and most of the stuff you make is not better than what you can get from a dungeon..  Most will just say just avoid it and save the cash to buy dungeon drops off the tradepost.  They just made it too difficult to start off with crafting unless you are max level and have nothing to spend money on.
10. Be expected to quest and bam grind to level.  There are no side activities to do other than deathmatches or ganking others on the pvp servers.
11. Too much hand holding.

I'm resubbing. Great themepark with fantastic combat. I'm tired of MMO hopping. This will hold me nicely for the next few months at least. I just wish they'd hurry up with battlegrounds...

oh my no!

If Rift was a better game I would have stuck to it. I love the Rifts but they didn't go far enough in my opinion. I honestly think Tera's world trumps Rift's in spades.

I suppose different strokes...

i bought the game for the graphics. First time i do that in my life. Yes, i only bought the game for the graphics.... havent played my free month tho.... about 2 weeks left from free 30 days and i regret buying it. MOney wasted.... im just pretending i never had those 50 bucks. Couldnt play past lvl 18-20. I hope OP enjoy it if you decide to go for it.

I don't usualy like class and level systems in your average MMO and I find the questing to be dull.

As for Tera I love the combat and the questing makes the game flow better so its not making it feel like its a grind.

I don't think I could go back to SWTOR combat after Tera combat I also dont usualy play a healer in MMO's yet I am playing a mystic in tera and love it due to the action thats needed to survive in the game. If you stand still your going to die even if your a tank.

The pvp I am not realy intrested in but there are pvp servers I don't play on one so cant comment on those, but the Vanarch system will allow a guild to take control of provinces and set tax rates pvp status for that zone and what NPC's are used in the towns to train or sell items. With this comes guild quests and prestige from other guilds if you treat people well. From what I can gather you can either try and get voted in or fight your way in.

The art style is refreshing and the Unreal engine has been worked will to make this game realy beautiful. The EnMass guys have thought about various things when it comes to the art style where a lot of MMO's fail at. Female characters will actualy sit side saddle on horses, if your character has long hair certain armours will put that hair up into a bun to stop clipping with the armour which gives it that something special. Shows you what work has gone into the game.

I also like the fact it has collision detection turned on and why cant other new MMO's have this simple option for combat and pvp in their own games is a mystery to me.

I would wait for a trial, if I was the one you were asking solely. Worst leveling experience I ve had in an MMO in years. Very boring quests, combat isn t as great as some are saying, at first maybe, but after awhile, not so much. BAMs are really nothing special, especially after doing 20 or so. It really is a quick leveling, nothing to do at end game MMO.

All the "OMG OWPVP in this game is great." It can be fun, but when the "I can t wait for BGs to come out", OWPVP will be pretty much dead.

I just don t think this game is better, then any P2P MMO out atm, so I can t suggest you try it on that alone. If you don t care about wasting money, then go for it, otherwise wait for a trial.

Probably the best way is to make up your own mind by playing a trial of the game.

Now I believe I can send you an invite for a trial from within my frogster account if you are interested in giving it a go. So if you do wish to try it out send me a message with your email and I'll see what I can do.

Sure, it's a grind, but the aim/dodge, etc. combat and graphics make it more bearable in my opinion.  Well, that and grouping with friends so you can get through quests faster and explore new places.  I've had a bit more fun leveling after joining a guild too even though I typically lvl alone in most games (besides dungeons of course); adding the GvG challenge and guild convos helped a bit.

What mmo would you recommend? I m quiet bored these days and would like to try something new.

Most  new mmos are not that great at the moment, I would say jump on the DayZ  train which has a sticky thread in the Pub Forum currently and loads of people loving it, for just 15$ for the game without a monthly fee you cant do anything wrong. There are currently at peak times 150-200 servers, most of them full or very well populated.

Wait in the meanwhile for GuildWars 2 and look for the reactions if the game is worth it. And if you like pvp in general, currently many multiplayer games offer more fun than the latest mmorpgs.
