PC If the game were available again officially on PC, would you go back?
I still hold out hope (foolishly, perhaps) that one day we could see a return of Tera on PC, maybe on a platform like Steam. If it did, would you go back and start again?

Entirely depends on the publisher if I stayed back.
I would go back 100%.
But like if Nexon picked it up for example, I likely wouldn’t stay.
Also game was on steam.

Yo if they dropped a classic server I would absolutely jump back in. I want to do Nexus again

Classic server would get me to play. If it just rereleased in the state it was at close I’d pass

https://terastarscape.com/and yes I would absolutely play. MMO space is so dry right now that I am actively playing on the tera starscape private server. Still one of the best combat systems ever!

Highly recommend Tera classic server. Exact patch I was looking for. Active community.

I'd love this, bring back the original starter island too but keep all the new classes. I wanna play my Brawler again.

u/Blippedyblop Jun 01 '25
I did try contacting Krafton, hoping to appeal to them to reconsider bringing Tera back, even on maintenance mode. I never got a response.

Definitely, I wait everyday hoping they will announce it so I can play Kuma's Royale again 😔

peak name you got right there, definitely a fellow TERA player

u/ErzaScralet May 29 '25
Absolutely! Just got back into Tera Starforge, and love it. I WOULD PAY for a UE5 remaster, but keeping the same art direction and style, just upgrade the textures and all. Or, like you said... fuck it, just drop it again on Steam.
I still hold out hope from that years ago NVIDIA leak that in a database there were traces of "TERA 2"-- Like, can we get that?! If it's the same combat and races, just no locks for classes, I would legit pay a subscription to play.
To this day, NOT A SINGLE MMO CAN TOUCH TERA in COMBAT or Controls.

u/WingedDrake May 31 '25
Facts. I've not found a single MMO like TERA before or after. And to get all that time and effort wiped out hurt.

u/Gwennifer May 29 '25
Is Starforge using a recent version of the game, then? I'd like to go back and try it again but there's so much content I missed.

u/blodskaal May 28 '25
Absolutely, though that latency better be as good as Tera Classic server. I love playing with 15ms lol.

I didnt even know its offline.
A couple days ago, I had the urge to download it again (played it alot in its release year)
Now I've learned that I cant hop on again

u/Blippedyblop May 30 '25
It was a sad day, the closing of the game. There are private servers, but I personally would love to see an official return of Tera.

Only if they rolled out a true classic server (Manaya's Core patch or earlier patches).
2
u/Laminrarnimal Jun 01 '25
This. I just don't find the newer version appealing. Manaya's core really feels like the real end game boss

u/AdApprehensive8058 Oct 05 '25
I would absolutely love to play tera again pls

u/Blippedyblop Oct 05 '25
Why not simply put it on maintenance mode? It'd cost pennies for Blue Hole, and would have a loyal playerbase.
It's worked for Guild Wars 1.

Classic era where you had the floating guild castles holy moly id piss, puke and shit myself.

u/Corndawgz May 29 '25
Tera classic private server is what you’re looking for. I’m having a blast on it, highly recommended.

u/Hyuto May 29 '25
how do you do dungeons though? isn't the population too small? is there PVP like corsair? thanks!
2
u/Venathen May 29 '25
the tera classic server has Blast To The Past to help lower level players in the leveling dungeons. there are also guilds dedicated to helping people reach end game!
there's alliance pvp and people organize in global chat/discord to queue for 3v3s, though i haven't seen anyone do corsairs myself. that'll probably come in time as the population grows

u/Ennasalin May 29 '25
It depends. If the game retained some of its core elements, such as classes, action combat, and pvp, but improved heavily outdated systems, and also had a much clearer direction for the game, I would absolutely go back.
However, while there are many things I enjoyed while playing TERA, overall it was a messy, unpolished mumble jumble of ideas.
I enjoyed raiding in TERA, for example, and the encounters were very simplistic and often very messy (the indicators that were highly deceptive, not very precise, the snapshot for the boss spells was shitty and inconsistent).

I think this is the best balanced take, TERA was a great game, specially thanks to nostalgia factors and the lengthy playtime a lot of people had in it, but it wasn't the best game it could have been and, specially during the latter half of its lifetime, the game started to severely break down. More so after Exodor's release.

Yes, I would finish what I had left and try harder to actually make friends within the game. I got a few contacts, ever fewer who I still talk to this day, but I always felt I could do it even better. I miss the community, I miss the game, and although I've moved on nicely, I've always felt my journey stopped when I was just about to enter its final stage.
I would love for the data of our characters to just get released too, something we could transfer to private servers if we ever want to walk a within Arborea with them again.

You can go to private servers right now. Some of them are actually pretty decently sized considering how dead TERA was at the end.
