That's why I personally think it has a high chance to turn into Aion a few months later. What I mean is that they let it go and big disappointment. However, because Tera is a team that actually CARES about their game so it does seem promising. I won't join it though until a few months later. Just because of the fact of recent MMORPGs that has been coming out every year has turned into facepalms.

There will still be an auto aim bot no doubt about it. Of course more work would be needed, but it will be done.

Either way it'll still be 'easy'.

This is the game I am actually waiting for. Will take at least some kind of skill playing, not just click on target and spam 1,2,3,4. And it got open world pvp. Can kill those pesky bots when want, sounds nice. Of course I don't know about penalty, maybe there is big one. But that wouldn't go well together with owpvp, would it? Who knows, will see.

The endless argument...
The biggest argument for F2P is still the playerbase, if you look at how hyped AION was and now look at their population, you know the game is losing players.

Closed beta of Tera Online started today, so I though it would be a good idea to revive this thread. Here's a nice gameplay video from it. It looks amazing!
