rofl @ that shit, sounds like an epic lazy way to bring in some members that they lost over the last few months without them doing a god damn thing, suck off for beta phase 2 etc

[TSB]

It kinda gives a time frame for when the beta will take place though. It's looking more and more like mid February, imo.

[Maaglin]

i fucking refuse to twitter.

Amen.

I wish it'd show exactly how many people have retweeted it so you would know your odds of winning.

Knowing EME, wouldn't matter if only 10 people or 20,000 people retweeted, you still have shit chances unless you're someone "important" lol

[avelle]

Just saw this on Facebook. So glad to finally see a release date. Hurry the fuck up En Masse!

[Rulke]

I was starting to think it wasn't possible, but I am pleased with EME at present. Would have loved to see an April release, but May 1 is good. In theory this means early start will be end of April. mwah hahah!

Here is quoted release post:

En Masse Entertainment is thrilled to announce TERA's official release date to its dedicated community! Following a series of closed beta tests and an open beta test, TERA will launch in North America on:

Great release date. Finals week. Will be so difficult to hold back for a week.

In theory this means early start will be end of April. mwah hahah!

Here is quoted release post:

early start? like if u pre-order/buy Collectors blah blah get in servers 1-2 weeks early?

[Rulke]

^ Yeah, early start/head start for pre orders. Granted it hasnt been announced but its a pretty common release strategy these days so I am assuming EME will do this too.

[Hyan]

Hopefully there'll be an open beta.

[Trocian]

There'll be a shorter open beta right before release.

I saw this comment on IGN:

The problem I have with Tera is, it's instance based, which means there is no open world pvp and leveling. The only time you'll be seeing other players will be in town...

Is the part about no open world leveling true? If so, isn't it just like Guild Wars 1?

[Elcura]

That's weird, I was always under the impression TERA had a world and stuff, but then I wasn't paying that much attention.

[Gokulo]

It does, dunno where the hell he came up with that O.o

[Anakron]

Yea, that's what I thought as well so that comment caught me by surprise. I did see random people in lots of Tera videos, but they could've been in the same party or something. Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
