TERA (PC Game) Pre-Order @ Simply Games - £19.85
By far the lowest price, £28+ elsewhere (£28.47 @ Amazon) - Looks a great deal.
Released - 4th May 2012
TERA is a Fantasy Action MMORPG with stunning visuals and a slew of innovative features that allow players to fully control their characters in the game's free targeting combat system. Player actions in TERA can change the balance of power in a world threatened by dark powers as seven allied races work together to protect their world.
Choose from 7 races and 8 classes: Change your character's history by selecting one of seven races and change the way you play by choosing a class that best suits your individual battle temperament. Whether you were born to be in the thick of battle dealing damage and drawing the enemy's attention, or standing in the back lines supporting your allies there's a class for you in TERA.
Breathtaking Visuals powered by Unreal Engine 3: TERA will take you on a journey through the most vivid and fantastical world yet seen in a videogame: over lofty mountain peaks, through toxic swamps bristling with foul monsters, across seemingly never-ending woodland plains and underground, to the heart of the evil threatening this world.
True Action Combat: Keep a steady hand and know your arsenal, combat in TERA requires a quick finger and nuance on the battlefield. TERA offers dynamic gameplay, giving you total control of your character where you'll have to actively aim, dodge and block to emerge from battle victorious.
Groundbreaking Political System: Choosing a region, players can make a move to take over the mantle of a Vanarch, the ruler of a province. Sitting on the throne, players will be able to drop or raise taxes, spawn and reposition special NPCs to their advantage, as well as having access to a range of special items that signal the arrival of power.
BAMs: Big Ass Monsters: Traversing the world of TERA, players will encounter many goliath creatures that are as dangerous as they are awe inspiring. These BAMs reside in the deepest dungeons and the open plains of TERA's varied environments, so be sure to always be on your guard.
Exciting PVP Battles in the Battleground: While TERA's rich story will have you fighting alongside a group of fellow allies to turn the tide of war, the Battlegrounds will truly reveal the hero in your squad. Pitching players against each other in a range of modes, the Battlegrounds will have players coming back for more time and time again. Fans of PvP will also be able to enjoy the epic guild battles and open PvP.

Jump to unread Post a CommentAlso whilst the combat is excellent supporting PS3/360 pads out of the box, the quests are forgettable. I doubt you'll be reading them past the first 5 you pick up. They only cover 3 topics; fetch/kill/collect. All in all very dull, artstyle is striking though but I doubt you'll get friendly looks from the missus when she sees the chainmail bikinis of the female avatars and that's without even mentioning the lolis...

Quite surprised on the negativity on the graphics,probably the best looking MMO ive seen and ran very well considering, everything else you said i mostly agree with though, if only the levelling system was as innovative as the combat. Also ive yet to see hard evidence it comes with a month of sub, usually MMOs emblaze that on the item description.
Graphics were lovely though and very nice character customisation options if you're into that :)
If you are a casual gamer like me, I would avoid this. I can see it going F2P later this year. The Pre Character Creation kicked off last night and so far they have only managed to fill 1 EU PVP server.
Not saying the game is bad, because it is quite good fun, just unfortunately the support and comms from Frogster so far has been pretty diabolical.
