Re: Tera Online Closed/Open Beta Testing
I've seen some stuff from KTera that tempered my enthusiasm quite a bit. It's far too Theme-Parkish in it's world design. Not nearly as much so as SWTOR obviously, but a game like this needs a more dynamic world I think. One thing in it's favor is that a very hardcore segment of the PvP population (AC Darktide/Darkfall/Shadowbane/Mordred) is vocal on their forums and they seem to be somewhat catered to. I'd give the game a decent possibility of launching with a very hardcore ruleset on their PvP servers; not reflective of KTera.
OwPvP with a hardcore ruleset and an action combat system would be tons of fun, although certainly it will lead to lots of hilarity when WoW "hardcore PvP'ers" roll up there. Kill anyone PvP is hilarious and great fun in measured doses.
