TERA: Rising: Brian Knox On Chronoscrolls
En Masse Entertainment announced Chronoscrolls for TERA, a way for players to earn game time using in-game earnings. It's a novel concept and one that Brian Knox wants to explain. Check out our exclusive interview!
MMORPG: How do the Chronoscrolls impact TERA’s game world?
Brian Knox: Chronoscrolls do not directly generate more or less money for the in-game economy. They are a way to barter time for money. Gold will change hands, but remain in the economy. We are also managing the hidden economic impacts by making chronoscrolls tradable only through the broker—and tradable only once. Additionally, players can redeem only two chronoscrolls to their account per week.

a chrono scroll sold for 1500 gold in Valley of Titans
Thats.... way less than I expected. 100g for $1?
Plex.
I think the whole idea is novel really. I wonder how this impacts "gold farmers" as there is now a legitmate way of "buying" gold in game.
Just a glorified plex system. Nothing new to see here.
I don't think it impacts farmers all that much, because it just creates one more competitor. Alternatively, it creates another way gold can be transferred around since item transfers and broker "mistakes" offer a way of laundering ill-gotten cash.
In other words....just like PLEX.
they have copied Eve.
This is completely new and interesting and copied directly from EVE.
im not subscribed to TERA and im not subscribing to TERA. How can i get a chronoscroll to start playing?
They are selling for 2-3k gold... that's 2-3 hours of farming in game for a month of play time...
So much lower than I expected.
