TERA - The MMO that makes WoW look like Runescape
 

TERA - (Korean Public Site)

Bluehole Studio - (Developers Site - [has english])

28 million US spent on Development, a FULL Movement based game,

I'm waiting for this baby,

Good to see ncsoft people in this team (the lineage 2 guys). The trailer looks amazing! The gamefight bit alone is making me anticipate this title.

Actually, not so encouraging to see NCsoft involved given their financial troubles... I'm already worried they're going to push back Aion far enough that it will be outdated by release. See the below link

Aion Releasedate: Q4 2009 - AionSource.com

It shows that they have financial problems and pushed back a few releases...

The gameplay trailer I downloaded looked damned impressive ....

.... but what's the content going to be like? I mean ...is the quests going to be like SRO where you had to "Kill 500 of critter X "only to be told afterward "Go kill another 1000"? I think it's been proven time and time again that gameplay is number one, content is number two and graphics is a poor third.

Shiney, of an Asian mmorpg style avatars.

hmm - virtually naked barbie dolls???
I reserve judgement.
Korean origin adjusted for Western market = buggy as hell and no support in my experience.

The combat does look good, much more fluid than your typical MMO.

I want to see ragdoll physics in mmorpgs, works well in FPS'. Ever noticed how in mmorpgs when you get knocked back by explosions/abilities you do the same "Fall down" action, no matter which direction you're being knocked.

The Tera NA site is live and the MMO is slated for 2010 release in the west.

It looks great. I've signed up for the news letter too. :D
