TERA Online - General Information and Discussion (May 1, 2012)

[CasualPlayer]

Good then makes sense now.

[Shuichi]

--==JCBT Statistics==--
Most popular Character:
High Elf female Sorcerer.

...and 99.9% of those are male.

[TSB]

Woah, I'm surprised to see warrior being the most popular class..
Anyone else surprised by that??

[Gokulo]

I'd assume it's the CBT factor, people not knowing the game well yet and so on.

[TSB]

I'd assume it's the CBT factor, people not knowing the game well yet and so on.

Fair enough.

[Foxer]

Was a 10,000 man cap. The reason there's about 30,000 total characters was because of remakes and CC, yeah.

[Arelian]

Is anyone still playing the Korean retail? I was gonna use my old account but it's asking for KSSN verification and stuff... ugh.

[Foxer]

Just ask your provider to give you info. It asked me that once when I typed in PW wrong 3 times in a row. I just sent them an email asking for the name and KSSN and they got back to me.

[Arelian]

Yep, that's what I did... they just haven't gotten back to me yet. Hopefully they'll hook me up!

[FriskUni]

looks like the JP's collectors edition bonuses, I think that's pretty similar to the KR ones too, so I'd guess we'll be getting roughly the same

edit; the mount is the lvl 40 mount, fastest one you can actually buy with gold
neck is a 6% haste neck
haven't seen those earrings before
the rest are just 10 piece disposables (res scrolls/mp/hp)
and a 30day free play time card, which is standard for all MMO though?, unless it means bonus(+1 month) on top of an initial 30day free

[TSB]

Awesomee!

I've waited too long for this game to NOT get the CE.

[Cian]

KR CE got the white mount, they also got the 8% neck piece. The 6% and 4% neck pieces were from an event a few weeks into release. Not sure if it's the CE, might be just a similar event as KR had. If it really is the CE package I hope we get the KR package

[Foxer]

Korea got it better than Japan! FIGHTING!

you might be right, it was posted here along with the box though http://phoebe1129.blog.fc2.com/

my jp ain't good enough to read that, but it seemed like they were talking about a CE package

it doesn't want to copy all of it, but maybe someone can translate it off the site,

When I posted it last night, it was fine. No idea what happened. BG eating my posts :/

[TSB]

This was left out of Kachikos post but this was stated before they took questions.

"Welcome to July's TERA Production Chat! With us today are a pair of producers: Chris Hager and Stefan Ramirez.

Before we kick things off a couple of notes and an announcement. Beta and release questions won't be addressed here. That's because...

We're going to talk about both of those things elsewhere very soon. We'll give everyone a big heads-up when we do."
