Hi all,
just a passing by mmo player.
my main game has been feeling too chore-like so i am taking a break.
i thought about trying other mmorpgs out for a change of pace, and remembered about Tera. i had tried it out for a bit when it just came out in NA, i was playing on en masse servers as an elin lancer i think haha. but ultimately i was busy with life and ended up stopping before ever reaching max level. as all my friends had quit the game anyways, i actually just never came back and forgot about it
anyways. i just read up on some TERA current events and it seems like the game is closing down for good (man what a good timing to remember this game i guess), and i came on the forums and read a couple posts to see how everyone's feeling and doing,
man oh man. why does it feel like gamers always get shafted this way
i saw that some of you are sad to see the game go, some feels that the game's been on life support for quite some time and would rather see it go while still remembering it fondly. lots of different opinions, but one thing's for sure, it seems that all the people that are still here now have some fond memories of the game,
whichever way you feel, it all comes down to the same thing.
game server closes, players get shat on. whatever people spent their lives doing is just gone, and that's the thing about online games that always didn't feel quite right with me.
Why is it always the one that loves something the most that gets screwed the hardest in return?
over the years, you, the players, gave more than just dollars to these companies. gamers who supported and loved the game actually gave their literal lives to the game, through the happy times and the bad.
after all, i am sure many of us have chose to spend their weekend nights logged into our favorite game than anywhere else on earth, can't just be me right
with the way devs and publishers often treat gamers, it's almost like they've never realized/appreciated what their playerbase is giving to them.
10 years, i wonder how many 10 years a typical TERA player has even lived. a rather significant portion of their life, i am sure.
good luck to you all, and may all of you find a great game to settle down in, if you haven't already that is
and may the publishers and devs in your futures be better and kinder
off topic tho - i am curious, how old is everyone that still posts here?
I am turning 35 this year myself, and i actually never thought i would play computer games well into my 30s. maybe thats because i don't have any kids though
