Updates to the Official English Site!

For many months, users complained about the heavy amount of flash animation found on the main page of tera-online.com, but gone are those days! Today, the official English website has received a lovely cosmetic upgrade to its main page and a working "World" section.

Posted Image
Tera-online.com's new main page graphic.


This new main page should be much easier for users to load, while still preforming the same function of having clickable races. Originally void of information, the World page now has a map and brief description of TERA's lore and history!

The very interesting lore given in the new world page explains the creation of TERA and it's early history. You can find it below!

Lore: How TERA Began


The world of TERA began millennia ago when two titans of unimaginable power, Arun and Shara, met in a formless void. For reasons we can only guess, they fell asleep. And as they slept, Tera took shape around them.

If you look at a map of the world today, you can see Arun and Shara—their sleeping bodies became the two continents that bear their names. Centuries passed, and deserts, mountains, rivers, and forests grew upon Arun and Shara. Yet still they slept.

Even for an omnipotent titan, every sleep is a chance to dream. As Arun and Shara slept, their dreams came to life—life in the literal sense. Arun’s and Shara’s dreams coalesced into the first living beings to call Tera home. These first creatures, twelve in all, had godlike power. Yet it wasn’t long before schemes and rivalries emerged and the gods were at each other’s throats.

All the while, Arun and Shara continued to dream, and their new dreams took shapes familiar to the gods. These new creatures—the mortals--were far more numerous, but far less powerful.

Arun dreamed of ambitious Elves, clever Humans, honorbound Amani, powerful Giants, scheming Devas, and mischievous Poporis. Shara dreamed of sly Sikandari, dark Gulas and Vampirs, fierce Wendigos, strange Faeries, and serpentine Nagas.

In time, the twelve gods would go to war—first against each other directly, and then drawing the mortal races into their battles. These divine wars left most of the gods dead, imprisoned, or otherwise diminished.

The mortal races didn’t escape unscathed. Some—like the Sikandari, and most of the Giants—were wiped out. Others—like the Barakas and the Castanics—emerged from the conflict itself. And as TERA begins, the Humans, High Elves, Amani, Castanics, Barakas, and Poporis have banded together…

…and together they’ll fight a menace from beyond their world: the Argons, a metallic race from the Underworld. Unless stopped, they’ll destroy Arun and Shara, and then the dream will end for everyone.



Something else that I noticed is that what was once the "forum" tab is now a "community" tab with the options "forum" and unclickable "blog". What do you think that's for O:? What do you think of the new layout? How about that awesome piece of lore?

Race Lore – The Popori

Good Evening, TERA Fans! Tonight, we're concluding our Race Lore translations with the history of the Popori!

This article was originally translated by Meiellink into Japanese, then by Locien from Japanese to English and edited by me! Enjoy!


Posted Image


The History of the Popori
Popori is actually a general term for various intelligent races with different animal-like features that live in the Popori Kingdom. They are composed of the upper class matriarchal leaders, Eluren, as well as well as the Porian, Merunim, Uru and Perunim common class races with their distinctive animal-like looks.

Popori


For several thousands of years the Popori have lived by the Lake of the Moon peacefully, developing a strong love for the harmony and the spontaneity of nature. They are known in Arborea as the most peaceful and stable lineage in existence. They became the first race to join the Valkion Coalition after a proposal from the Humans.

Often overlooked as a potential formidable enemy by the other races, the Popori have proudly sworn that they won't lose to their opponents, regardless of their small stature. Despite their looks, Popori are actually quite strong and very self-confident.




The Lake of the Moon
The Lake of the Moon, situated on the south-east side of the Arun Continent, is the origin of all the Popori races. This place is known as the holy resting place of the Popori's creator, Ely. The lake is surrounded by a mystical, beautiful and fantasy-like environment, engulfed in a forest thought to be the resting place of the Popori's guardian god, Selen. According to a local legend, the Lake of the Moon is a place where the magical powers of ancient gods live on today and is constantly protecting Pora Elinu, the capital of the Popori Kingdom.


Queen Rerin
Since the dawn of time the Popori civilization has been primarily ruled by the powerful female Eluren race. Queen Rerin is, among the average Popori, a beloved and almost legendary queen. Rerin stepped up during a crisis, the Teba Invasion. She led the Popori kingdom to victory and then formed a pact with the fairies that helped the Popori enter the most prosperous era of their civilization.

Unfortunately, at the end of the war with the Teba race, she tragically died. However the Popori to this day always speak of her with deep adoration.

Race Lore – The Humans

Good Afternoon, TERA Fans! This evening, we'll be sharing a very interesting translation, specifically if you appreciate lore! While the official English TERA site has a bit of information on the history of Arborea and its inhabitants, the official Korean website provides much more insight.

Every night this week, we'll be presenting a new translation from the race information pages of the official Korean site. Tonight, I'm proud to present the history of the determined and prosperous Humans of Arborea! Enjoy!

History of the Humans
For 2000 years, humans had to endure the Diaspora. To recover what they had lost in those 2000 years, they established themselves in an area of Arborea that was torn by a war of deities. The humans are upright, have good physical shape, and are full of confidence. However, no one believes humans will be the leading race of Arborea.

Humans have built the city of Velika which is now considered the center of civilization. They have driven away various monsters and creatures in Arborea to bring about peace, and created the Valkion Coalition, an alliance of advanced civilizations in Arborea.


Curse of Diaspora
The ancestors of the humans were jealous of their creators’ powers, and stole some possessions from the last of the creators, Gheed. Afterwards, Gheed found out who stole his precious possessions and killed them, but he did not stop there. He also put a curse on the whole human race, which spread throughout the land for 2000 years. The fact that humans have started to gather and civilize is only recent history.


Creation of The Valkion Coalition
The Valkion Coalition was created to prevent destruction caused by deities and to keep foreign races out. Its members are the civilized races in Arborea. This Valkion Alliance was created when it was suggested by Kiyon, who was one of the creators of Velika. To this day, this national alliance prevents foreign races from attacking the civilized races in Arborea.

Human

What other races think of Humans
“Even though humans are disrespectful and lack wisdom, they do communicate well.”

“I think highly of their willpower. When others have given up on something, they are still at it. Though, I think it’s sad that they aren’t the honest bunch and like to sit and talk instead of act.”

“Those filthy things are inferior to elves… even if they look like they care, all they think about is taking care of themselves. Its obvious they are jealous of us.”



“Humans? Yeah its great that they’re active and all, but they take everything for granted. Its too bad they use that activity to destroy nature.”

“Humans are great. They’ve done incredible things in such a short period of time, even though from our point of view they seem too eager to do things. But wouldn’t that be their advantage? We just hope that they look at the big picture and work with it."

Though I'd read before that the land of Arborea was war-torn, this article gives at least one catastrophe a name, The Dispora. It appears the Humans brought this upon themselves due to foolish actions, but came out of it victorious. This certainly characterizes them as very hardy and possibly as having the strength of gods.

This is the first time I have seen a deity mentioned in TERA lore as well, do you think all races worship the same creators? Do you think the creators play an active role in quests and dungeons?

Do you think the Valkion Coalition could have to do with the political systems we've been promised we'll see?


Tell me what you think, TERA Fans, and stay tuned for another translation tomorrow night!

Tera Classes List

One of eight classes. All races are able to choose any class.

Lancer
“The lancers are trained to wield the shield as an extension of their own body. Because of the shield, lancers are mostly known for their defensive capabilities, not only protecting themselves but also others around them. The lancers are considerably slower than other classes due the sheer weight and size of the shield. Therefore, lancers learn to wield a spear along with their shield.”

Lancers are the tanks of Arborea. They use lances and shields which are found as a pair currently in TERA. When first creating a lancer, you are given an initial melee attack with no cooldown and a block skill. All lancers wear heavy armor.

Warrior
“The warriors rely on their guile and lightning fast speed in combat. Because of their grace and agility, they can wield a weapon in each hand to attack or defend in perfect coordination. Though their weapons are light-weight, warriors strike continuously with speed and precision.”

A dual-wielding melee class, warriors rely on their dodge skill to evade attacks. This dodge causes the warrior to jump over an enemy in attempt to execute a flurry of flashy and quick melee skills. They initially begin with a melee attack that gains mana on every hit and combos up to four times and a dodge. These close combat fighters wear light armor, presumably due to their agile nature.

Priest
“The priests, devout worshippers of Yurian, the God of Justice, are able to heal and protect their allies in battle. Priests rely solely on Yurian and their blessed power, rather than heavy armor and weaponry. Their unshakeable faith however, can become a downfall for they rely only on their God and power.”

Dressed in robes and wielding ornate staves, priests are a healing class with what appears to be an array of perks. They begin with one ranged magical attack with no cooldown, a mana restoration skill with a cast time and cooldown and an area of effect heal with a cooldown. Later on, they learn useful spells like Recall which ports the priest and party members to a nearby city and they also are able to learn an ally summoning skill fairly early on.

Sorcerer
“The sorcerers dedicate their lives to research and discovering ways to harness the mysterious forces of the world. They are able to call forth powerful spells using mystical disks to deal damage to their enemies, or to protect and heal their allies. Because of their highly supportive role in battle, it is said that the side with the most capable sorcerer wins the engagement.”

As the official description explains, a sorcerer’s weapon takes the shape of a disk which hovers in front of your character in combat mode. Donned in robes, this class begins its journey with a mana restoration skill and a firebolt skill with no cool down.

Berserker
“Berserkers will charge into any fight swinging their mighty axes and to their enemies, the attacks appear to be uncoordinated wild swings driven by fury. However, their attacks are actually precise and focused. Their range of attack is extremely narrow, which requires extreme precision. The attack patterns are so unpredictable, foes will find that defending against the berserker’s attacks are almost impossible.”

Berserkers are very slow but heavy hitting two-handed axe wielders and heavy armor wearers. They begin with a melee swing that combos and returns mana and a block to avoid attacks from enemies. As they level, this class earns skills which cause knockbacks.

Slayer
“Slayers are one of the most feared sights to see on the battlefield. Their near impenetrable suits of armor and huge weapons, like the Great Sword, cause even the hardiest of combatants to feel a moment of panic. Because of their heavy weapon, slayers are not swift and quick. However, what they lack in speed they compensate with their better sense of judgment.”

The slayer is a fairly hard hitter in its own right; however, it is distinguished from the Berserker by being a good bit quicker and more agile. Wearing light armor, practitioners of this melee class wield great swords and avoid incoming enemy attacks with a dodge skill. Their initial attack is a melee hit which combos and returns mana, but they go on to get a charged whirlwind skill.

Archer
“The archers are highly skilled marksmen able to thin the ranks of their enemies in battle. Firing volley after volley with deadly accuracy, a single archer can cause panic and discord in a battle. Although the archer’s defense is weaker than others, the enemies that try to close in on them will find that the archers are highly mobile and rarely stationary.”

A ranged bow wielding class, archers shoot arrows from a distance. Unlike most bow classes, it is not necessary for the archer to buy arrows as they are created with an infinite supply. Though they initially start with a basic shoot attack, they go on to learn slowing shots and area of effect skills. Archers wear light armor.

Elementalist
“The elementalists call upon spirits and elements to aid them and their allies in battle. Through the strength and wisdom of the spirits, the elementalists can channel spells to help their allies, while casting spells that hinder the enemies. Elementalists can absorb the enemies’ health and mana so that the enemies cause less damage towards others and become easier to kill.”

Currently, the elementlists role is quite a mystery. They are initially given priest-like skills, a magical bolt attack, a heal, and a mana restoring skill. They go on to learn skills like Life Drain which drains an enemy’s life and returns the power as mana. Elementalists wear robes similar to their priest counterparts.

Tera Online MMORPG

A brief look at the upcoming next-generation MMORPG by Bluehole Studios, The Exiled Realm of Arborea (TERA) Online.

The Next Generation Of MMOs

Tera OnlineBluehole Studios’ next-generation MMO, TERA Online: The Exiled Realm of Arborea is a triple-A title that is already turning heads and gaining a little bit of recognition for its drastic evolutionary step in MMORPG visuals and its dynamic new combat system.

It’s very rare for an MMO to come along with graphics and a gameplay module that far surpasses the current-day MMORPGs and their pseudo real-time active battles. Even newer MMOs like Aion Online or Champions still suffer from the timed back-and-forth combat mechanics that prove to really standardize and bore-up the gameplay experience. Nevertheless, Bluehole’s revolutionary new system isn’t quite active like most console action games, but it’s not quite real-time turn-based like most other MMOs. They’ve yet to fully divulge exactly how it will work but it already appears as if it will be based more-so on character dynamics and interaction than standard hit/miss roll-dice.

The Art Of Combat

A very visual kind of MMOSupposedly players will now be in charge of how fights and battles play out, as opposed to everyone standing around exchanging timed blows; waiting for the cool-down on the strongest attack to run out so the process can be repeated until someone drops dead after repetitively jamming down on the right mouse button. The encounters will make use of the surrounding environments to encourage more unique and vibrant fights and get players strategically making use of the battlefield around them. That certainly sounds like the right sort of direction for an MMO considering that often times players get bored using the same old quick-keys standing around until the enemy dies.

Archetypes And A Little Hip Action

Apparently Elves have super-models, too

Now that the whole battle system has been explored, let’s talk a little bit about the driving force behind TERA Online’s character setup, classes and archetypes. Players will create a character from six archetypes and eight character classes. The team is currently optimizing the game to support all sorts of combinations between each race and each class. The challenge lies in the fact that each character class has its own series of animations, attacks and defensive measures that players actually get to see while playing the character. For example, a female human sorceress will perform a sultry dance to cast a certain spell or a large berserker will wield a large weapon as if its actually weighty, which makes the game depict each character class with its own series of individuality.
