Bluehole just doomed the game in every region. The biggest quit wave I witnessed was when masterwork alkahest was removed from LoT/KN as a farming method and they introduced an overpriced box bought with vanguard credits and even that box was rng. You could spend hours farming the limited per day credits to get like 5 mwa which we all know wasn't even enough to think about enchanting. Honestly this is when CS/FW battlegrounds started having 20 minutes waiting time in queue and open world was just empty. Zawahide spots being empty was such a strange thing to see back then. They had pure gold in their hands and they just pissed on it and us simultaneously. At least mt the dream is a decent private server for anyone looking to experience the game again

i played first month and quit. was hippity hopping and duck'n and diving and watched every player with 2 or more of them zoom past me in every side quest and said nope. it's either force party play or no party play. and deleted. ff11 will always be my first and only enjoyed mmo with 700days of gameplay ..can tell you that 90% of it was with party's of 6-64 ..all other mmo's you just feel alone around others. stupid way to keep building your planned obsolescence in gaming around. horrendous.

Its alive on console lol

Dude. I never really got the chance to make Tera my own. I got the chance to play when I was a teen thanks to my dad letting me use his computer. I never had my own computer growing up, but when I could play, I did. I remember it pretty well. I made it to max level at one point. I kind of just rushed it while I could. My character was a Warrior class. The one with two swords if I remembered correctly. Anyway, I may have made it to max level, but I didn't know what I was doing. This was my first ever MMO that I gave my full attention to, and I had no idea what end game content was really all about. So, when I made it to max level I just hung around. I would do pvp for fun, help newer players with quests and leveling and, even help out newer players who were getting bullied by higher level players. All fun but, it didn't last long at all. I think overall I got to play for just about a year and it was around the time the game just came out. Eventually I would leave the game and, gaming altogether because of life and by the time I finally hit a point in my life that I could have my own computer well... The game was dying and, it eventually did. I miss this game a lot. I remember wanting to come back to the game so bad! "One day! Just one day I'll be back" is what I would tell myself. I had no idea that MMOs could die. I mean it makes sense when you think about it. Of course they die. Eventually they all will. Sigh. I never realized those few months playing were not just my best times with this game but, unfortunately my last. By the time I came back hardly anyone played, my characters were long gone as the game was dying, and well MMO gaming was just dying all together. I miss playing with my friends... I hope I'll find another MMO that can spark those fun aspects of an MMO. I don't know how to explain it but the current MMOs just don't feel the same. Maybe I'll never experience those times again. I am much older and will continue to get older. I can feel myself losing interest in gaming all together. If you read all that I'm sorry lol! I hope you guys are having fun out there and staying safe!

I was going through a very rough patch in my life during 2015/2016 and this game kept me afloat. RIP to my Warrior. You will never be forgotten.

wie war es bei wow xD alle privat server mussten schließen xD werde lachen wenn es tera auch so gehen wird :)

And mow Misaki.....i lost all my friends due the shutdown...menma also did't do it..i start the gane after 2 years...because i was curious how it is for now. when i start the game...spawned in a diiferent area...and realized..that TERA...is dead, a dead game...its horrible. Is hut down the game...and never gonne play it again

It was the funnest, great and fair combat system, But lolis made the game weird. Even though lolis, it was beautiful more than WoW

Rn I'm playing on Tera Starscape. Used to play tera back in the day when it became free to play, didn't know about proxy untill like 2019, before proxy I used to be an on and off players, cause everything felt sluggish and I managed to only level up my priest to max level (and only priest was playable for me cause it didn't depend on ping on earlier year dngs as much). Even now I love Tera's combat. But with proxy I enjoy it even more. Them removing content and race locking certain classes were my 2 biggest concerns. Ofc the races that get more classes will be played more. But why make everything available for elins, but not other races? Like Barakas didn't get any new classes, prolly cause they were bulky af and it would be hard to animate their skills to look as appealing and flashy probably. But other races? Baraka Brawler would have been fun tho ngl.

Only the weirdos hate the Ellen race 😂

I LOVE MENMAS TERA

I was one of those who enjoyed tera because of the proxy. Without proxy the game was unplayable due to my location. It is very sad because TERA had the best action combat system ever.

I wished they would have put more work into it. It was a dream come true. I wish I could have played it in it's prime

Seriously could have thrown a dlc and destroyed guild wars and wow, sad no more game to toss money at bummer.

Yeah a massive problem was the fact you had to be the watchlist race, you shouldn't be forced to be a et race to play a class unless it makes 100% lore wise.

Played tera from 2012 until shutdown

If players are sad about Tera. Try watching videos of when Asheron's Call shut down.

So much wasted potential :(

Whats a real shame is that there isn't really a Tera replacement for PvE group content with real action combat. :(

What a MASTERCLASS in what NOT to do to your player base my god. I stopped playing because it was super grindy, hard to understand and that damn pegasus travel animation took forever.

Lazy devs didnt update the games content. They needed to add and simply didnt do it. Then they added mounts that broke the theme of the game stupid brown hole studios

Tera was ahead of its time. Literally one of the best MMORPG ever. It’s my favorite one after World of Warcraft. I like Lost Ark, but the grinding is insane.

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing the history. I played early Tera for maybe a year, and moved on to BDO eventually. Sad to see if went to sleep.

Gonna try tera cz. Lvl 70 patch killed tera for me. Just to much confusing stuff. Just my opinion maybe other players like it. But it was just to much for me, collecting cards, lvling skills, completly new rotation, unbalanced classes and apex skills, to much p2w content or no life activities ec. When they first did lvl 70 patch i mean i played it and got 70 killing these fcking basilisks but i was so frustrated by krafton...

Enmasse was so much better than gameforge... Gameforge killed Tera europe alone by its fcking greed. I dont know i didnt use any proxies entire time. Was fine. I dont know why you cry about baning proxy players... Its the right thing to do because its not a game feature.

Great video!

I stop play this game because Eilin.

Go to TERA NOVA enjoy

I didn’t think the game is that great! I’ve been playing the game for 5 years and I’m still unable to get endgame gear! It takes to long to do or get anything!

tera snowball fight is the best period.

For me they started killing the game by destroying the fantasy immersion, by pushing everyone towards being a Loli, where the epic horses and tigers became police cars and ducks with rainbow afros. . . an absolute weeb joke of a game leeching money from weird people. I miss the days of guilds running towns, gvg, the world meaning something, not 95% of the playerbase being Elin . .

u put elin a reason it failed? wasnt it more like that elin's keeped it alife? lol

I remember waiting for it to come out.. counting the days I played so hard for so many year spending lots of money .. helping new players and soloing dungeons.. I miss that game so much 😢

TERA was the reason I built my first PC. I stayed online as long I could but my interest lost after Valkyrie class went to elins.

It truly was a great mmo, the combat was so good..

in the beginning the slayer class was over op. i loved my female warrior, but she couldnt even stun and hit, because slayers got back in less than 1 frame. Good times no matter what

The game got shut down because they thought it was a good idea to make new BAMs tale forever to kill got rid of the dungeon reset scrolls limiting how many dungeons you could do and implimenting the adventure point system that limits it then there was the stupid Talyph system that essentially forces you to do the harder comtent. I loved TERA but i am very happy and glad to see it burned to the ground cause of the devs own stupidity x x

Tera was amazing

I only played tera because of the elin race. I hope tera will be back soon

For the elin , the major issu was that the hitbox was more little that the other race, therefore it was easizer to dodge with it. And if i stpped playing it was because of the cosmetics everywhere and denature the game and the nonending farm cycle

I left it felt like every class became female gender or race locked. Just let me be a male orc gunner or reaper, like it i remember being so annoyed back then to be limited to some fucking loli rabbit reaper. What a shame.

I think that they should have stopped the use of 3rd party tools much sooner. But that is all ephemeral. The game died cause of lack of content support, like all mmo's do.

Tera was incredible, but ahead of its time. It demanded low ping, and as you said, those living closer to the servers had a vast advantage. Started playing this game in 2013, right when it was released as F2P, and stopped in 2017, having more than 50 active characters in both EU and NA. I remember the struggle to beat Shandra Manaya in 2013. It had been the most difficult dungeon I've ever seen in a game and demanded impossible concentration. Later, I remember myself waking up four to five hours earlier in the morning (before work), just to catch the times for FW battlegrounds in the US, where it was most competitive. Having no idea there was a proxy tool available that reduced the lag, I was mostly playing in the US for the last year with 200ms ping. In the EU, my latency was 30-40ms, yet in PVP, the top players had way lower, with some even lower than 10ms. The difference was vast in combat against these players. Frankly, Tera has had the most intelligent combat system I’ve seen in an MMO, yet the worst publisher in the EU that damaged the popularity of the game. En Mass wasn't that bad, at least for as long as I was playing. I remember the Valkyrie cheat being widely used, but it was during my final days in the game, and I had already decided that that cycle had ended.

Only the pedos cared about tera getting shut down.

if I wanted your feedback on a Private Tera Server how could I reach you do you have a discord server ?

Is it down?

The Exiled Realm of Arborea. I did not know that. Thank you

Strange, I dont remember lag issues making me leave. The game even had several graphic settings. Also its not a child race. Its an anime race. The fact they were called loli was 100% trolls and hate memes.

is it menma still online?

I miss Tera man. Loved the game back in the day
