Nab TERA Elite, Lock In Your Subscription Price

If you were gearing up to subscribe to TERA, now may just be the best time to do so. En Masse Entertainment has announced that subscription prices for the action MMO will be coming down to a mere $10.99 for the next twelve days. To sweeten the deal, anyone who signs on while the sale is active will be locked in at that price so long as they remain an active subscriber, including anyone who is currently already paying full price.

To better incentivize players to dole out, En Masse is offering two 30-day items to boost your character’s power.

All Elite players will receive one of each of these items the first time they log into TERA between Thursday, March 10 and Tuesday, March 22. The items will be delivered via item claim.

Existing subscribers just need to log into the account management page and lock in their new rate. The sale runs until the 22nd.

TERA Freeing Up Names June 25th

En Masse Entertainment has announced a name purge on all characters that have been inactive since June 25, 2014. All affected characters will have a “_1” added to their handles so that new players have more choice when creating characters.

If you have characters whose names you want to keep, but haven’t logged into TERA with those characters since June 25 of last year, log in to TERA and enter the game with each of those characters today, before it’s too late.

Anyone looking to keep their names on an inactive account should do so by logging in today.

TERA Getting Region Locked On Steam Tomorrow

En Masse Entertainment has announced that, due to pressure from foreign publishers, a region restriction will be enforced on Steam downloads of TERA. The affected regions include “certain European countries and Russia.” While players from these regions will be able to use the game, the Steam store page and download will no longer be accessible, and players who delete the game may find themselves unable to reinstall it via Steam.

The good news is that while Steam access is being restricted, you’ll still be able to download the game from TERA’s website and play that way. The accounts themselves are not being restricted.

Our decision to enforce this region restriction was influenced by external pressure from the publishers of TERA in these regions. However, TERA (as published by En Masse Entertainment) can still be downloaded directly from our download page by players in Europe, South America, and Russia for play on our servers.

TERA Sees Population Boost After Steam Launch

TERA is celebrating a boom in traffic, both from the recent launch on Steam and release of the new gunner class. While the team at En Masse Entertainment has increased server capacity over the past month, heavy population has resulted in queues during peak times. To move the population around, a new PvE server will launch on June 9th.

Highwatch opens Tuesday, June 9 following server maintenance and will be available to new characters and transfers from all servers. Server transfers will be free for a limited time, but transfers to Tempest Reach, Ascension Valley, and Celestial Hills are temporarily suspended.

Free server transfers will open on June 9th and run until maintenance on the 16th. Steam Charts puts TERA at a peak of more than 25 thousand concurrent players on Steam alone.

TERA Opens Up Inactive Usernames

TERA’s launch on Steam means a lot of new players, and that means a lot of people looking for free names. On June 25th, characters who haven’t logged in over the past year will have their usernames changed in order to free up choices for these new incoming players:

Any characters that have not logged into the game since June 25, 2014 will have their names appended with “_1”, freeing up their old names to anyone creating a new character or using the paid Character Name Change service.

You will need to log in before June 25th to keep your name saved.

TERA Declares Itself #1 MMO On Steam

En Masse Entertainment has declared TERA to be the #1 MMO on Steam, based on peak concurrent players compared to other MMOs on the digital platform.

Since launching on Steam on May 5, 2015, TERA has seen explosive growth, with new and returning players pushing the total number of accounts to over 4.5 million in North America and 20 million worldwide! And those players have been busy—killing an average of 6 million BAMs (Big-Ass Monsters) and clearing 70,000 dungeons a day.

First TERA Expansion Announced

Hopefully today’s MMOrning Shot didn’t spoil anything for you. En Masse Entertainment announced the first expansion to TERA, dubbed Fate of Arun. The expansion will task players with exploring the mysterious northern continent of Arun, taking on a new evil power and perhaps saving the native Khirians in the process. The expansion also raises the level cap to 65 and introduces new gear, zones, skills, and dungeons for high level players.

“It’s been an incredible two years since TERA first launched in North America,” said En Masse Entertainment Producer Patrick “Treeshark” Sun. “Fate of Arun will be, without a doubt, the biggest addition to the world of TERA new and returning players have ever seen – and we’re excited to reveal more details in the upcoming weeks.”

TERA Launches Reaper Class

TERA has launched patch 26.04 today, introducing players to the brand new Reaper class. The Reaper is a mid-range DPS class that is unique to the Elin race and uses leather armor and a new scythe weapon. In addition to the new class, reapers also begin their journey on the new special starting area, Ashen Hope. Ashen Hope sees the destruction of Pora Elinu and will have reaper characters start at level 50 in this tutorial area. After completing Ashen Hope, players will return to the main world to play with their friends.

In order to unlock the reaper class, players must have one character on that server that is at least level 40. You can find more details at the link below.

TERA Servers Are Paid After June 11th

TERA players will be happy to know that the restrictions on server transfers have been removed, allowing movement to the previously denied Lake of Tears and Ascension Valley. Players are advised to make use of this freedom of movement, since server transfers will no longer be free soon. Beginning June 11th at noon Pacific, server transfers will cost 2,750 EMP (1,650 for elite) with a limit of the character being at least level 20, a transfer limit of fifty thousand gold, and a five day cooldown between transfers.

For the free transfer period, everyone’s cooldown period has been wiped clean.

En Masse Entertainment Bringing Streaming To TERA

Hey, remember when En Masse Entertainment was offering a demo version of TERA on Gaikai? And then remember when Sony purchased Gaikai and shut everything down? We didn’t either, but luckily that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on The Exiled Realm of A Massive Installation just because TERA is about fifty gigabytes. In a press release sent out today, En Masse Entertainment has revealed a partnership with Happy Cloud Incorporated, to bring TERA to players devoid of time and bandwidth. Rather than having to download the 22gb file required to install TERA, players simply boot up the application and let the game download the files it needs as they are needed.

“Improving our user onboarding process for TERA: Rising is a priority for us, and using Happy Cloud’s system is an easy way for us to get more players into TERA’s immersive, 3D world,” said Soo Min Park, COO at En Masse Entertainment. “Taking a graphically rich, fast-paced game such as TERA: Rising, which contains hundreds of hours of gameplay, and delivering the bytes in the order they’re needed is no small task, but we’re confident this will provide an even better experience for our fast growing legion of fans.”

Happy Cloud’s download system is available now through the TERA website once a user registers for an account. As far as MMO Fallout knows, this service only applies to the North American version and there has not (to our knowledge) been any announcement by Gameforge in Europe.
