Terra Online: Coming Soon

67

The next thing since individually wrapped cheese slices?

TERA Online is launching in the US March 1st and EU March 3rd. Personally, i am very excited to check this game out. The graphics and game play far surpass what you would expect from your average online title. It seems Bluehole studios is trying to revamp the way you play MMO's and give the genre a more hands on, action orientated overhaul. I welcome this with open arms. I love the MMO style game play, but from time to time i find myself spamming the number pad and leaning back like the boys from south park.

From what i have gathered, it seems it follows the traditional layout of most popular MMO titles. The controls, i'm sure most are familiar with, but TERA took a huge bound forward by adding the ability to dodge and parry real time. This is a cool new feature that will allow the user to be more immersed in the combat and will be more exciting than adding numbers to your stats (even though i do take enjoyment from mathing). As far as game play and quest layout, i only know as much as i have read or seen. Here's what i do know though!

No worries, i came across it one night and was like "wow". My only concern is since the female toon's look so amazing, everyone one is going to roll one. It's going to be like the Amazonian planet from Futurama.

Yes true but that always happens - EverQuest, WoW, RIFT, etc the women are hotter and guys play them. Maybe they are exploring their feminine side but more likely is they get to stare at a nice rack all day, even if pix-elated haha!

Oh and I noticed there are a couple very kiddie races here too, which is odd for an adult game. Some would say that's cool but damn kids go out and play!
