Tera Online News

You had questions? We've got answers! Here's the next round from us, the last until after GDC. We'll probably start a new thread then to help keep things simple.

In terms of PVP: we know a lot of you are asking about details on this, and (for reasons I hope are evident) we've consolidated our reply into a single response.

How does PVP work?
A: PVP will be on a sever-by-server basis, meaning that players who chose to participate in PVP may do so but those who do not, will not be required to play on severs that allow PVP. There are no predetermined factions in TERA, but we expect guilds to come into conflict with each other and PVP will be one way that conflict is expressed. Since we're still making adjustments based on feedback from the FGTs and Beta tests, we'll share further details on PVP in the future.

Will High Elves be able to have red hair?
A: The High Elves (and other races) are exploring new hairdressers and colorists.

Are there any available entry-level or internship positions available with En Masse?
A: Visit http://www.enmasse.com and click Careers to browse our available positions.

Are you taking action against people who leaked material covered under NDA?
A: We take leaks very seriously and will take action as appropriate.

Is there a date yet for a FGT or Beta for us anytime soon?
A: Stay tuned after GDC!

Is it going to be like the Korean one with 20k testers and stress test? I'm really concerned about the status of our beta tests.
A: We'll be testing many things during future betas, including stress tests.

Will the next FGT run on the same client and game data as the third closed beta in Korea?
A: No.

Is there really no chance the game is going to be released in 2010?
A: We'd rather take a little extra time to make sure the game is great than rush the game to market.


That's it for this round, see you after GDC!

En Masse Entertainment is pleased to announce that it will be attending Game Developer Conference 2010 and that TERA will be available for hands-on play at our exposition hall booth! Annually, GDC is the major industry event where professionals, publishers, and press meet to demonstrate their products, speak on panels, and learn from workshops. GDC 2010 has been held for more than two decades and this year's is going to be a big one. Why? Because this is TERA's first unveiling at an industry event!

En Masse Entertainment's GDC 2010 "away team" consists of myself, BrotherMagneto, Patrick Wyatt, Brian Knox, and other key team members. You'll catch us at the TERA booth (#1134) wearing freshly-designed TERA shirts featuring the Human race insignia. Check it out modeled by our very own Jamie below.
