Some news about Tera

[Agiel]

Not sure how many of you would be willing to make the plunge into yet another MMO, but En Masse Entertainment will be holding a server test soon which among other things will allow players to immediately promote a new character of their choice to level 58 so they can dive right into the end-game content in short order. While it does suffer from the same MMO tropes in quest design, I find the combat involving enough for it to have been my MMO poison of choice for the past year (true, issues with matchmaking, class balance, and the gear treadmill certainly keeps the PvP from being all it can be). It's also quite easily the prettiest MMO I've ever played as well (you may see why in the following images ). Details of the event can be found here:

However, should you find yourself enticed by this prospect and plan on joining the primary PvP server, Mount Tyrannus, look me up as my level 60 Castanic Sorceress, Lamashtu:

 

 

And my 50 Amani Berzerker, Lillitu:

Sorry, mate. As much as I'm intrigued, I just say 'no' to MMOs.

I played it for a short bit.  I found it way too creepy for my liking.

Exactly the reason why I stayed as far as I could from MMO's for years, got the impression from pictures like Agiel just posted that MMO's are aimed at people who use those hentai nude mods on Skyrim and the like.

 

Playing SWTOR did teach me that most players aren't weirdos but still I find it disturbing to see people, who in all likelyhood are men, playing with characters who look like they spawned from some 14 year old's wet dream

Sure, MMOs are the place where people run around in their underwear, you'll get that no matter what MMO you play.  The stuff Agiel posted I can deal with.  Tera, though, also has got some really disturbing furry and loli fetishes going on.

Played it until level 20 with a Popori sorcerer, got bored eventually.

 

Fun game, but it felt like playing a pedo version of a Disney movie. I never even saw another Popori player when I played, only those lolis and Castanics.

 

Still aside from Ages of Conan it's the only MMO that didn't make me quit after 2 hours.
