The following servers will be available during open beta:
- Server 1: Velik – Type: PvE – Language: EN/EU

- Server 3: Essenia – Type: PvP – Language: EN/EU

* The amount of servers and server types are subject to change for the head start and launch of TERA.
Update: We'll add three more servers on Monday. Please note that you won't be able to connect to those additional three servers. You'll still only be able to access the 7 above listed worlds.
The level cap during open beta will be at level 32. Everyone is allowed to create 2 characters on each server. All characters will be deleted at the end of the open beta to prepare the servers for the pre character creation (name reservation) and head start for pre-order customers.
In case you want to take part in the next phase, be sure to visit our pre-order page and secure your copy!
