TERA Going Free-to-Play, Finally
Criminally under-loved MMORPG TERA (according to Martin and Calvin on Ding!) is finally going free-to-play in North American and Europe.
Announced via a video, which you can see below, Executive Product Director, Eva Scmitt tells us that it will be happening in “early 2013”, and sounds like a really sensible decision, aimed at bringing more players in to a game that requires a large player base.
No reduction in content will happen, and the F2P players will have access to all the content. Existing players will be rewarded with benefits. Veteran players who have lapsed can just pick up and continue, this time for free. Active subscribers will gain an exclusive club membership that lasts as long as their subscription is active, as well as a 50% quicker cooldown for instances, XP boosting items, an Epic mount and “lots of other great stuff”.
TERA is available now for Windows PC, the F2P version will be coming in early 2013.

How's things? I'm the video guy and would love if you'd watch the things I do like Debatable and For Your Amusement. I spend the majority of my days explaining why The Wire is the greatest TV show ever and clamouring for a Pop-Punk revival(c. 1994) whilst singing in my best Axl Rose-esque voice. Do not say professional wrestling is “fake” around me or, he’ll bore you with, what I like to call, “the risks they take”. Henrik Larsson is my hero.

Oh...and it's pronounced, "Cull-um".
