J-TERA to Have Summer CB, OB, and Release.

According to Japanese TERA Fans translator Meiellink, in an official Japanese TERA blog, the team announced that TERA would see its CB, OB, and release all in the Summer of 2011. TERA Japan will feature the same client as TERA Korea. The tests and retail version of TERA Japan will of course only be open to residents of Japan, however, it is unknown if you will be forced to use a social security number to join in at this time.

TERA Japan's release time schedule is important to Westerners because a few weeks ago, Bluehole Studio CEO, Kang-Suk Kim, stated that the NA/EU testing period will begin one month after TERA Japan's launch. From this information, it appears we are looking at a late 2011 release for TERA in North America and Europe.

Hey TERA Fans! Today I have some great news for our European members!

Not too long ago, we learned that Frogster Interactive would be publishing TERA in Europe. Almost immediately it became clear that the European community had tons of questions for the company. A day after the news, En Masse Entertainment gave a small Q&A, and later we saw an official community address by a Frogster representative but it's plain to see that you guys still have many more unanswered questions!

Today I got word that Frogster has agreed to do a small Q&A for TERA Fans, so I really want to hear your questions! I'd like to have some answers as soon as possible, so I'm going to begin compiling the Q&A tomorrow.

Post your questions for Frogster Interactive in this thread as soon as you can!
