I don't remember this guys name but he was the MC of the event.
He reported good things about Tera, how BHS got the word "Arborea" from a joke 4 years ago to now a company that employs over 200 people in Korea. He made allot of jokes.
Then he brought the mike over to the lead devs that are currently working on Elin changes.
They didn't give away much, as you can see they were reading word for word from a script. They did say the elin race will be having a gothic tights look with gothic panties look. The rest would be the same.
They past the mike from dev to dev taking about what plans Tera holds. Then they past the mike to Akira Morikawa (president of NHN Corporation, owner of Hangame)
He talked about painting Japan purple, as tera's official color is purple. Then he shocked the crowed saying that over 10 million japan hangame accounts have been created and 15,000 the number of simultaneous connections, he announced that it broke the previous best mark ever for Hangame.
On that basis, he said,the objectives listed in the open beta test will aim to 50,000 and the number of simultaneous connections.
He also stated they have come to an agreement with almost all of the major internet cafes in Japan. So anyone will be able to play OB/retail via internet cafe. If you sign up to play Tera using a internet cafe you will get cafe points to use at the Tera store.
Then he left and the CEO of Bluehole, Mr. Kimugansoku took the stage.
Fist he appoligized about the disaster that the Korean version is in. He said that in no way is this version acceptable and has made changes to his company to make sure things will be different. To this he said the western version will be delayed until the full lvl 60 version is complete, and only then will it be released.
As for the Jpn version he stated they spent months on end fixing bugs, and they will add 2 new dungeons instances, "House of Vanpiru" "Muslim evil lair," + the added "destruction of the beasts". BHS is currently working really and and the next big major patch will be in November. With the ultimate patch coming in March 2012, to coincide with the Na release.
The rest was mostly promoting how cool BHS was..lol
Later the entire BHS dev team got together for a photo-op
So this is what went on last weekend. I'll keep on posting on what is going on in Japan. Hopefully this will bring some better news than yesterday..lol
