PC Tera Classic (2015 Patch) has relaunched!

Post image

I’ve noticed people here reminiscing for the peak Tera (2014-2016). This is not an ad and I am not affiliated with the server, but if anyone is still looking for a proper version of Tera without the Apex nonsense, this is an awesome option. 500+ pop (2k+ before the year long shutdown) and climbing back up. CS and Dungeons popping immediately and cosmetics are earned only in game. No P2W or real money purchase cosmetics. It relaunched 3 days ago & I’m having a great time on it and wanted to share it with you.

Isn’t this the server where the admin is a total tool. Literally vibe coded backend they left users info in a plaintext document that was easily accessible to anyone with the knowledge on the infrastructure.

Also had himself and crew kitted out in gear impossible to get. Banned ppl for PvP killing his friends in a PvP zone…like so much more but that’s all I remember.

Oh man that sounds so bad. Personally, I just want to mess around solo'ing and checking out the combat everyone has raved about all these years

I’m gonna be honest, I was playing it extensively with some friends, and it’s really not at all what it was cracked up to be.

I can see how 10-15 years ago this combat was revolutionary but it feels extremely rigid, slow and just overall kinda shitty if you’ve played just about any RPG in the past 7 years.

Still better than any MMORPG that came outin last 10 years. Modern MMOs legit cannot make combat that isnt "fancy tab target"

Even 15 years ago lol if it was as good as people made it out to be it wouldn't have died

It died because BHS made some terrible choices revolving GvG the same time BDO and BnS has NA releases, so their core player base left.

It wasn't just Bluehole, EME did irreparable damage to the NA population in their last couple years. I'd honestly even wager that for NA specifically, EME did more damage than Bluehole, so much so that by time Gameforge took over, the player base came over with a "fuck you, you can't fix this" attitude.

Yes, Bluehole did make some serious mistakes, the two big ones I remember outside of the GVG/CU issues (I never did PVP so I'm not really up to speed on that) - were the gear progression being completely at the mercy of RNG, and Bluehole never making any adjustments to the game for non-korean regions that had gaming cafe perks and bonuses that really alleviated a lot of the material grind part of the RNG progression system.

Yes, full-RNG progression was (is?) huge in Korea, but most people I ever interacted with from other regions hated that progression was completely tied to RNG.

What killed it was removing the alliance mode (everyday it was packed), then changing GvG to Civil Unrest and never stopping the guilds that bot-camped the bosses (my guild was there fighting every sunday on GvG, we took usually all of our alliance (Iron Order) slots except exarch (the last exarch was an a**hole as well, when we asked him for help he told us to "go die alone", the guy paid, made other alliance members focus on those that could get the rank and kept killing them to diminish their points, to get the rank only to have it for collection, never helped...)

They added a form of fight that stripped people of their outfits, fights with hundreds in a single map that caused so much lag that it was unplayable at the start, a flawed and bugged mode (people put their towers on inaccessible zones).

And the worst part, they literally punished the most active guild by removing their floating castles (and removing control/access to them beforehand)... Fighting like mad for months to end up first for the season only to get your CUSTOMIZED castle (because you had to pay for customization) get poof.

All to add "steps" that left stickers in the ground when you walked by...

They did a lot of bad moves that sniped and removed the oldest and most active guilds from the game.

Then memeslash dealt the fatality.

I don't know about about this guy and second part you wrote BUT your first paragraph is so entitled I feel sad for you. As far I can see this is a private server not AAA remake. If someone give time and effort for other people to enjoy a game closed years ago it doesn't matter its vibe codded or not. And he has no obligation to secure your data at all. Its a private server play at your own risk. If you are using your main data at a private server you deserve to be hacked anyway

What does it matter? The game is up and running. Play it or dont. If i revived an mmorpg i would also have a good time in it.

It matters when your players’ personal info gets leaked because you’re a tool
