With today's launch of TERA in Europe joining TERA North America, both editions of Bluehole Studios' MMORPG are live. Not following the rush to free-to-play, TERA requires both the purchase of the retail game along with monthly subscription. Here's a thumbnail of the game: "New players will begin their adventure in TERA by creating a highly customised character from seven races and eight classes. They will join forces with thousands of allies to save an endangered universe. They will vie for power and set their own rules through an advanced political system. TERA players will discover a one-of-a-kind experience, giving them an MMO game setting combined with the thrill of action games."
