Tera Online
Tera (The Exiled
Realm of Arborea) is a 3D fantasy themed MMORPG developed by Bluehole Studio. Tera
uses Unreal Engine 3.
Gameplay:
TERA has typical MMORPG features such as questing, crafting,
and player versus player action. The game's combat uses a real-time battle
system that incorporates third person camera view. The player targets an enemy
with a cross-hair cursor rather than clicking or tabbing an individual opponent.
Players need to actively dodge enemy attacks. A keyboard and mouse or a control
pad can be used to control the character.

Races:
Aman: “Amani are direct in speech and action,
honest, candid, and somewhat imperious. They are usually respected, often
admired, sometimes feared. No one doubts they will say what they mean, do what
they say, and make life very hard on their enemies.”
High Elves: “Though the blood of elven soldiers bought
their seat at the Valkyon Federation table, many among other races do not trust
the elves' "New Way," believing the desert city's walls conceal many
secrets, and that the elves never gave up their conquering ways.”
Human: “As creators of the Valkyon Federation, they
are admired and respected by all the nations of the world for their role in
bringing together the coalition that will defeat the argons and return the
world to peace at last.”
Elin: “The elins have one driving goal: if it’s
not good for nature, stop it. Older and wiser than they appear, they join with
forces of nature and mortal races to sweep their enemies from the battlefield.
Their speech is often dark, forthright, and otherworldly, and their sense of humour
can border on vicious. Other races find the elins' manner and behaviour
off-putting.”
Castanic: “Castanics inspire more conflicting emotions
than any other race in the federation. Clever and skilled, castanics are also
opportunistic and hot-tempered. A castanic never forgets a friend and never
abandons an ally. They're also notoriously quick-tempered and have a tendency
to decapitate first and accept apologies second. They are also adept
merchants—cunning negotiators who love the interplay of bargaining, and strive
to come out on top in every deal.”
Popori: “The popori nation is made up of two
distinct races. The elins—small female humanoids—were created by the goddess
Elinu out of her own divine essence. The poporis are non-human beasts awakened
to sentience by the elins. They are small, and accustomed to not being taken
seriously. Poporis are curious, candid, uncompromising, and utterly
ferocious—resolute and tenacious defenders of nature. They are quick to learn,
and quick to judge. Lose a popori’s respect and you may never get an
opportunity to regain it.”
Baraka: “Despite their gentle nature and generally
pacifistic philosophy, it would be a great error to suppose baraka are
weaklings, for their other great hunger is for balance. Balancing mind and body
means that every young baraka learns the art of combat alongside the art of
knowledge. Like the amani, the baraka fiercely defend the weak and downtrodden.”
Classes:
Warrios: “Quick
attacks and high mobility make a warrior essential to group play, but also very
survivable while soloing. Tanking with this class is difficult, but possible.
If you're choosing a warrior to be a tank, be prepared for a challenge.”
Lance: “A
lancer is a heavily armored fighter focused on anchoring a battle. Generates
maximum threat with shouts and special attacks, sacrificing movement and attack
power for the best durability in the game.”
Slayer: “A
lightly armoured, agile fighter with a devastating greatsword. High damage
attacks combine with evasive manoeuvres for a dynamic combat style.”
Berserker: “Berserkers
use charge-up attacks to deal massive damage. They can also block incoming
frontal attacks, though they lose MP quickly when not attacking.”
Archer: “The archer is a highly mobile, ranged DPS(damage
per second) class. By channelling energy into the bow, the archer is capable of
a wide range of attacks, dealing massive burst or rapid damage to foes.”
Sorcerer: “The sorcerer is a ranged damage class
focused on annihilating the enemy with high-damage "nuke" attacks.
The mobile artillery of TERA.”
Mystic: “Mystics
are a strong support class with skills to protect and enhance their party
through buffs and auras. They also summon mighty thralls to assist, heal, and
aid them in battle.”
Priest: “The
priest is a robed magic user whose primary role is to restore health and
vitality. However, a priest is not to be taken lightly—the same power that
revives allies can also smite foes.”
Tera is a pay-to-play game, however it offers a 7-day free trial if you want to check it out first.
