First off, I’ll enlighten you as to what TERA actually is. TERA is a classic fantasy MMO, yet it stands out from games within its genre in some points. One of these points, is the so-called True Action Combat system, which is the first of its kind. Similar to the controls in action games, the player actively carries out their attacks and spells, instead of just pressing a key, which I personally prefer as it makes me feel more involved. In this way, their position in relation to their enemy is also decisive: enemies will be sighted once in the middle of the cross hairs.
Even before release in summer 2012, the game was praised by players and press alike, above all for its detailed graphics and the numerous innovative approaches, such as the novel political system.
Under the name TERA : Rising, the publisher Gameforge is making one of the most graphically impressive and innovative fantasy MMOs in recent years playable for free. Appearing at the same time as the free-to-play launch, the new dungeon, Crucible of Flame, and the Champions’ Skyring 3 vs 3 arena offer players many new challenges and rewards.
Many MMOs eventually go free to play and this isn’t a bad thing at all because it will attract new players to the game for you to share experiences with. The free-to-play launch is accompanied by exciting new content for both PvE and PvP fans.
There is a new dungeon, the Crucible of Flame, as well as the Champions’ Skyring 3 vs 3 arena. The Crucible of Flame offers a completely new kind of dungeon experience: As players battle against monsters and bosses at various difficulty levels, they compete for dominance in a ranking system. Challengers who reach the top levels can look forward to valuable rewards. The Crucible of Flame is also home to a brand-new boss monster , known as the Cyclops. Meanwhile, the dungeon’s engaging mini-games provide a refreshing change of pace.
In the Champions’ Skyring, Arborea’s adventurers can put their skills to the test in thrilling 3 vs 3 battles. The victors will be rewarded with the newly introduced Killing Spree Credits, which can be used to obtain special PvP equipment. The top ranked players here will also receive a powerful new skill. The new spectator mode allows fallen heroes to watch the battle unfold from another player’s point of view.
For the release of TERA : Rising, Gameforge has come out with a gripping trailer which shows the graphically impressive landscapes, zones, and monsters of Arborea, as well as the innovative True Action Combat system. It also presents an overview of the new content appearing with the free-to-play launch.
The free-to-play model of TERA includes two basic account types: Free Users and Veterans. Free Users enjoy full access to all of the game content. Veteran status is reserved for those who purchased the game before the free-to-play switch, and offers certain advantages in terms of convenience.
It is also possible to join the Club with membership benefits such as a special mount, a daily selection of boosts and various scrolls, and much more.
