TERA Announcement

En Masse announces TERA, the upcoming PC MMORPG first revealed last month, calling the game the "first true action MMORPG." They will be showing off the game at this week's Game Developers Conference, and describe three areas of innovation they feel will be key to the game's success: Action-adventure style combat, a rich, lushly rendered fantasy world, and all action, no faction. An excerpt elaborating on those points follows.

TERA innovates in three key areas crucial to MMO quality and success:

Action-adventure style combat: Player position, timing, and aim all impact combat, creating a uniquely immersive “explore and engage” experience that goes beyond traditional point-and-click-style MMO games. Keyboard-and-mouse controls or a console gamepad put characters right in the action.

Rich, Lushly Rendered Fantasy World: Six character races, eight classes, thousands of quests, a huge array of weapons and items, hundreds of different monsters, and a deep tradition of history and lore are delivered with stunning graphics and beautifully stylized animations.

All Action, No Faction: Players of the six races comprising the Valkyon Federation join in a common struggle against rampaging monsters, insidious demons, and the horrors of a world torn apart by the gods. Players not only control the action, they dictate the flow of the economy and impact the community environment as part of a player-centric community with unparalleled security and service.
