K-TERA Pricing Plans
- Note that it is common for Korean games to have no boxed product, which means no one-time price for buying the game.

If a game has too many bots the game will probably die; if a game allows bots it will definitely die, that's the situation in Aion(CN). Yesterday, more than thirty thousand furious Chinese Aion players gathered in several servers to protest using bots, moreover, to protest the publisher's attitude which breeds bot use. With countless players joining in, some servers were overloaded and then brought down.

TERA : Announced for Western Audiences

---

We’ve all known about the Korean version of Bluehole Studio’s upcoming MMORPG TERA for some time now, but details on a Western release were scant, if not entirely unavailable. That is, until today.

Bluehole Studios has announced the formation of a new publisher, En Masse Entertainment, whose sole task is to focus on bringing Korean MMOG’s to the west, with their first project being the highly anticipated TERA: The Exiled Realm of Arborea.

En Masse will debut the game at this year’s GDC, and has set an early 2011 release date for the Western version of the game, while the Korean version is set to launch sometime this year.

The company developing Tera Online has made a big announcement this morning introducing their western publishing company, En Masse Entertainment! With the company lead by MMO Veterans Dr. Jae-Heon Yang, Patrick Wyatt, Chris Lee, and Brian Knox, TERA is looking to be a very good title!

Our community manager at TeraFans.com was able to sit down with the team for En Masse's first interview! Brain Knox spoke to us recently, answering some burning questions about TERA. Here's a look at the first few questions from the interview:

-Character Customization-

• Q: What sort of character/class customization features (like talent points or skill points) will be available to players as they progress through the game?
  A: We are working on ways to distinguish classes, such as skill trees, gear variety, and so on. In addition, with TERA's unique combat system, I believe players themselves will help distinguish their characters by how they move and react in battle.

-Gameplay-

• Q: Can you tell us more about the planned PvP system for TERA? Will it be entirely free-for-all in most areas? will there be safe areas?
  TERA includes a system that allows players to declare PvP on other players. This system should allow players the freedom they desire in-game, while at the same time eliminating the ganking that can occur with open PvP.

-Economy/Political System-

• Q: Will TERA have an auction house system, a broker system or just personal shops?
  A: TERA has what we call a Homunculus--a personal pet accessible to all characters on the same account. Your Homunculus can be set to buy and sell in a personal shop, as well as perform a few other cool tasks. We also plan to implement a broker system.
