The official story from En Masse's homepage:
"About a millennia ago two omnipotent titans Arun and Shara entered into formless voids and for reasons we can only guess, fell asleep.
The titans started to dream. Dream of a world that took form on their backs known as Tera.
The first beings to call Tera home were twelve godlike beings dreamt up by the titans, but it wasn’t long before the gods started fighting.
As the dream continued new creatures took place called mortals, they were less powerful but far more numerous.
Arun dreamed of ambitious Elves, clever Humans, honor bound Amani, powerful Giants, scheming Devas, and mischievous Poporis.
Shara dreamed of sly Sikandari, dark Gulas and Vampires, fierce Wendigos, strange Faeries, and serpentine Nagas.
The mortals were forced into the divine wars of the gods, which eventually left 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 but others rose from the wars such as the Barakas and Castanics.
Now that the gods were gone the seven races; Amani, Barakas, Castanics, Elin, High Elves, Humans, and Poporis must band together to fend off a new enemy.
A metallic race from the underworld called Argons; their goal is to take over Tera and wake the titans to end their dreams and destroy Tera."
There are 7 Races: Human, Aman, Baraka, Castanic, High Elf, Popori, and Elin
There are 8 Classes: Archer, Berserker, Lancer, Mystic, Priest, Sorcerer, Slayer, and Warrior
Where should I begin? Well, first of all it was made in Korea. That alone should tell you the how high the bar is set for this game. Korea is known to make some of the best MMORPG games out there.
It's a good game. Unlike traditional MMORPGs that determine attack/miss by a dice rolling system, in this game you have to aim your attacks with the crosshair on your screen. In other words, your attacks have to physically hit the target for it to connect. This means that luck has no part in this game. If you want to hit the enemies, you have to aim. If you want to avoid hits, you block or dodge (depending on your class).
It's an extremely interactive game. If you don't pay attention you will die. Even the Priests have an exciting gameplay. They have to aim their heals or else it won't work. You can imagine how hectic it can get for them in dungeons and raids.
Not to mention this game looks absolutely stunning on max settings (which, surprisingly, aren't even that demanding). There's also a unique "Political System" where guild leaders in each province can campaign and run for office.
It's pay-to-play so there are subscription rates.
You get a free 30-day subscription when you buy the game, but after that it goes:
- $14.99/month if you subscribe for 1 month
- $35.85 ($11.95/month = 20% discount) if you subscribe for 3 months
- $59.70 ($9.95/month = 35% discount) if you subscribe for 6 months
- $107.40 ($8.95/month = 40% discount) if you subscribe for 12 months
I've never played WoW, but there are dozens of WoW players in-game who just marvel at the beautiful of the landscape and other visuals as well as the gameplay itself.

I know about this and I refuse to play it.
I played Lineage II for like 3 years and was excited about Lienage III then they went and stole the code. Which is BS imo. Plus I don't think I can play another korean based MMORPG, freaking leving is so tideus, time consuming. Atleast thats how it was in Lineage and most Korean made MMO's.
I don't have that kind of life anymore to play this game, though when L3 comes out maybe i'll play that.
Yeah I heard that too. The team making Lineage 3 left whatever company they were with and made Tera instead, or so I heard. Nonetheless, to each his own
As far as leveling goes, it's not as much grinding as you'd expect from a Korean MMO. They re-tuned it for the US to lessen the grinding and add more quests and whatnot to make leveling feel less pointless - you actually have things to do while leveling. In fact, I haven't had to grind a single level thus far and I've reach max level (currently 60) with two characters already.
This thread is kinda old but just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents
