Population is low, not super low. I can definitely say i've seen worse.

If you didn't like the game a couple years ago it definitely didn't change much, if you're looking to return and are afraid you'll find a dead game you won't, at least on Mystel.
Before reinstalling i've spent some time looking at this forum and reddit, thank god i didn't just listened to what people say and i eventually downloaded it again because even if it's not the same experience as during vm1/vm2 it's still decent.

That said, even if it's probably not GF fault if Tera went this route i wouldn't spent anything other than the first month of TC ( you can farm and buy the next ones from broker )

I see, Im glad it's not that low. But considering what everyone has said, I really wouldn't want to invest time and effort into a game that might eventually shutdown. I hope Im completely wrong and Tera does a 180. But if it doesnt, I really cant make myself play a game that might not see a few more year.

I see. Thanks for all the input. I guess the TLDR is that the servers arent dead, but the population is super low. And the game is slightly better than a few years ago, but since GameForge just got Tera NA, nothing much changed (same for EU side, as things get slightly better, but not enought o say it's significant I guess).

It's kinda sad to see this, a good game being wasted away with wrong management, but it aint the first. I guess I'll just wait awhile to see if TERA changes for the better.

Answering your 2nd question i find this thread accurate: https://board.tera.gameforge.com/index.php?thread/80216-is-it-worth-comming-back/

Thanks for the reply. I saw that, which is also part of the reason I made this post because it's been a month or two after the shutdown of EME and wanted to see if anything good actually happened under GameForge.

Just came back from a 3 years stop and i think it's always worth playing a bit as long as you don't get hooked into the "Shop to advance faster" loop.
The grind is still here but can't say it's that bad.

Of course if you're looking for PvP the situation is different <.<

I see, that's somewhat good to hear, but I dont want to invest in a game that's gonna shutdown eventually, hence, my worry. Im not trying to sound pessimistic, but after visiting several threads from the past few years/ months, the consensus I got was that it's just going downhill and is the worst it has ever been. But I wanted to hear what's happening more recently with GameForge as the new publisher, since many said they were miles better than En Masse.

If Shen is dead (I have no idea), I remember people from the SEA region used to play TERA in 2013 and pwn with their skill, even if their ping was high.

They did all high level dungeons, so that makes me believe that the ping wasn't that hard of a barrier.

ah okay, cause I couldn't find threads talking about Shen server at all, only the announcement of its launch, and one thread on what to improve on. It just seemed like it was dead but Im not entirely sure. So I figured I'd ask it here to see if anyone knows more about it after scouring for info about it on Google, but to no avail.

Hello all, I know Im super late to the party. But I have only found out about the existence of TERA recently. The combat looked very captivating, something I know that TERA is known for. However, I am also aware of how TERA is not in the best place right now. I guess my question is, is this game worth it in 2020? Is it pay2win?

In addition, I reside in the SEA region, so I was wondering if I should try Shen server (I heard it's dead), or Minstrel, which I hear is more populated (but still kinda dead). Is there like a Korean server as well, if so are they doing well?

Any comments are greatly appreciated.
