MMOs don't follow the birthday celebration code like everyone else.. Usually birthday celebrations are a time for us to give things to the celebrant, but in the case of MMOs, it is a time where we get things from it. Where are our manners!?

In the case of TERA, players are getting a full months worth of celebrations starting with the Loading Memories event which lasts until May 13th and is a chance for players to have one of their fan art pieces etched forever into the game's sea of official loading screens. Starting tomorrow May 3rd till the 6th players will also find double the loot drops in any of the game's dungeons.

In total there are three other major upcoming events including the introduction of the Kelsaik's dungeon Raid on May 14th, which according to a TERA blog post requires "10 or 20" party members to tackle.

Beyond this month's celebrations there is talk of a new 20 vs. 20 battleground set to arrive in June which involves riding blimps, assaulting castles and raining down cannon balls on unsuspecting enemies. There is also talk of a new alliance system which adds summoned BAMs, an alliance specific training zone, and the ability to lead raids into enemy alliance territory in order to steal their resources. Anything that encourages open world PvP is ok in my books.

There is a lot more to read on the official TERA blog, and if you'd like to find out more regarding this month's festivities you can check out the official TERA birthday page here.

Tera is by far the most complex and best free to play mmorpg out in NA at this time.

i will give you 1 reason not to play Tera(EU) yes 1 reason only, and that reason is Gameforge. i Swear on my life may god strike me down now if i lie, gameforge is one of the worst publishers that ever existed, gameforge has driven me to a point where i uninstalled the game due to the horrible and disgusting service that they provide. there are major buggs in the game which are totally being ignored by gameforge, tickets being unanswered or players that wait 2 weeks for an answer,,. item shop purchases not being delivered where u are forced to send a ticket and pray to god that they wil be answered. Tera is a great game guys its the best game ive played so far, and if u wanna play it go to the Na version. that is the honest truth and opinion i can give u. as far as the Eu players, well we are doomed thts all^^.

Funny how there's always a discussion on which MMO is better. Totally unrelevant to what the actual subject is here: TERA's 1 Year Anniversary.

TERA is not a bad game, but definitely not a great game either. Bad optimization and poor usage of the U3 engine cause a large majority of players with uber rigs (I play on an i5, Geforce GTX650) to have issues playing smoothly. On top of that, the UI is terrible. Many people ran a few tests and the shit UI uses up to 20-30% of your GPU. How lame is that?
And lastly... unfortunately content wise, the game now lacks a bit of interesting stuff to do once you finally hit 60, other than a few dungeons (Which get boring fast), some reputation quests for Factions and Battlegrounds. But you get a 'been there, done that' feeling just a couple of weeks into doing those.

BUT.. TERA excels in combat. There's no single game that has such a great true action combat system as TERA. Not Vindictus, not Dragon Nest, not RaiderZ or any other game out there using true action combat. TERA has the best so far and it works. I just hope they fix the content issue soon and I really... reaaaally hope they fix the core issues with the engine.

For now, happy anniversary and let's hope it turns into a great(er) game.

Lol, Tera fans are the most rabid. If I weren't already burnt out by how boring the game is, the fanboys would definitely be a turnoff

F2P ?!?! more like P2P, you need to be veteran to be able to enter. I stood 2 hours to enter on a server to play.
