TERA Thirst Quencher #1

Greetings!

It has been quite a thrill, seeing our fans so active in our forums.
Many questions and discussions have appeared and are generating a great momentum for the website.
We ask that all of our users take a moment to become familiar with our forum guidelines.


We would like to officially introduce SwordDance, one of TERA's forum administrators, who has been periodically answering a few questions not addressed in our FAQ.

Many of our users wanted to know if TERA...



...will be a PvP or PvE game?
• There are MMOs that are stronger in PvP and others that are stronger in PvE. The TERA dev team understands that both are equally important and that is why TERA has been created envisioning both. The dev team is working hard to marry the benefits of the two in this next generation MMO.

...will support solo/small group play?
• The dev team is trying to make TERA cater to different types of players' needs. In short, you can level up solo or with a small group. However, it will be more exciting if you play TERA with the whole mass.

...will be based on quests or grinds?
• Leveling up in TERA will be guided by quests. However, the dev team is envisioning the leveling up experience in TERA to be much more engaging than in previous generations of MMOs. How? Because of the immersive, real-time action gameplay in TERA, which will draw in your key senses and reflexes to play the game.

...will have instances or an open world?
• The team is focusing on providing a whole new MMORPG experience and to satisfy every one of you. The team fully understands the requirements of a triple A MMORPG title and therefore, YES, TERA will provide a persistent world (seamless). To avoid any misunderstandings, TERA will also offer instances for those who prefer instanced dungeons. Hopefully, this hybrid world (instances + seamless) will adhere to all the needs of a variety of players.



The TERA team sincerely appreciates everyone's interest and enthusiasm for TERA and asks for your continuous support.
Thank you very much!

Thanks for the info. Just hope that dont get too much instanced

Thank you for the responses, but the true question is...anything downloadable in English coming out this year?

Good information thank you, please however keep instancing to a minimum. I think that instances are a great way to experience certain quests though they should no be the games main focus. I would like to see encouragement for people to spend most of their time outside of instances .

Great news, I havent posted much, but this will be great. Hopefully US beta will come around and allow me a trial soon. Looking so forward tot his game.

For an MMO to be truly great, it needs a healthy dose of open world play and instanced dungeons.

It wouldn't bother me how many instances there are aslong as the game is good.

Thanks for the news and some important answers.
We look forward for Eng CBT announce. ^_^

Thanks for the information.
And congratulations to SwordDance for becoming an official forum adminstrator !

I find that the answers to these questions are just what I'd hoped to hear.

Thanks very much.
