Cheater: En Masse giving out free level 58 characters to TERA players

TERA Online is one of the most impressive looking open world action MMOs, but for many TERA's questing system, with its monotonous grind posses too much of a barrier for entry. So how do you go about fixing the problem? En Masse, publishers of TERA in the NA, appears to have a solution. This weekend the publisher is running a promotion for a free, permanent level 58 character. You heard right, a free almost max level character that even comes with gear!

Both new and old players are eligible for the event. In order to get your level 58 character, you simply need to create a new character of any race and class, and assign it a name ending in ".Levelup". Then on Monday, September 23rd, the TERA team will run a script leveling up eligible characters and rewarding them with a beginner mount and Tier 11 soulbound gear for all classes (with the extra gear available as fodder).

Players will also get a name change voucher that can be used to remove the ".Levelup" portion added to their name during the character creation process. To prevent players from making multiple accounts, En Masse has stated that only the first character created will become level 58.

Obviously, En Masse hopes the event brings in more players to engage in TERA's endgame content, which has received several content patches since going F2P. It will be interesting to see how many players take advantage of this test and whether it leads to more events like it. The move will effectively kill a large portion of the early game making many zones overnight ghost-towns, but generally speaking this is the case with most MMO's a couple years after launch.

For the full details on the Level Up Event you can check out the official post here.

Good move from EnMasse , questing in Tera is SO much boring. People who want to get into PvP right on will not have to grind and invest 876545678987654 hours before being able to .

And if you disagree with the giveaway , just don't create a .levelup character goddammit ! xD
Have one character for your "journey" and one for the PvP that's it :P

This is good in my case being a parent I dont have time to reGrind to 60, I had helped my Girl friend level up a character while she was prego on my account. Before Tera went F2Play I bought another account for myself to relevel. So now with a 14 month old, hell yeah ill take a 58 Character.

You do realize that however those who do this will have .Levelup in their name and everyone will know what method they used, those who are legit players will not use such a low life method as this.

i played this shortly before it went f2p and randomly still mostly in the global chat so i consider it a 30gb chat client. But the game is bloated and not optimized with many issues a lot of my friends quit because of the low fps and lag. But its free and exchange for being f2p they make all their money off of items in the store like outfits and mounts but still refuse there are any problems with the game but you can read the forums and see how everyone complains this was going on before it went f2p and no fixes yet they just keep throwing new stuff to buy out. The US server is heavily populated with every single country you can imagine playing. Its not a horrible game try it if you havent. I find it fishy why they are giving lvl 58 chars away i guess people are leaving for better stable p2p and f2p games launching.

Is no one understanding the concept of ALT's I mean either its the people who already have a 60 and dont want to grind to try another class or the new players who pick a class and proble wont like it anyways lol honestly I think its a good idea when you think about it, some people just want to get to end game to pvp none stop and raid all day, so why not give them the chance to do that. there are still normal people playing the quest line and they will again soon anyways

Sounds rather stupid; no game has enough "end-game" content to last. People end up bored even when they're at the top. All this is doing is sticking people up at the top immediately so they get bored even faster.

Instead of simply jumping the shark, they're instead jumping up and down the shark while screaming "Look at me, I'm Mr. Jumpy-Sharko". Way to cut off their nose to spite their face.

MMO publishers wouldn't have any problem: if they're quest weren't dull grinds, challenging early on, and end game material not taking so long to be able to use.

Example; on which is seen on Console games and not in MMOs.(God of War, Devil May Cry etc... and sadly even the series Mega Man X side scroller lol)

:

Overview:

If the game had an actual story line, instead of you doing many quest for people and not having no relation ship or further ship on that quest; that leads you to another quest, that builds a relation ship with that person quest giver and story line. And allows low level players to open PVP(player vs player) each other and high leveled ones can't with lower levels, BAMs for low levels, that can takes real strategy to defeat. And party members or other players to distract(instead of the old , let the players hit the monster then a sloppy movement or charging attacks awaits and you have to run out.) them.

Combat and Challenging Features:

If it were that when you hit them from the back they will immediately try and hit you which you ; which you can dodge from and use a special on them. Also if it were that if you hit them once, they will immediately attack and you have to block it and do a fast step back, then dodge side way, and do another special from your hot keys, and then block. because the (this is what i wish mmo games would do.) because you wouldn't be able to except what the Bams and EvE mobs would do. (like doing a spin with their sword causing a air blade attack, that can make a air slice go far.){that can make you die at a lower level}

Conclusion and Stable, Dedicated players Mentality w/ all features i mention included. :

then the game would be challenging, worth playing, because you know that you are going learn how to get better the more you play, the quest that you are doing aren't worth nothing. because of the fact that its not the same quest bull S***t(didn't say the word, so i hope what i wrote is not blocked)." kill 20 wolves and come back" and then you just receive a reward; and run far for the same bull shit.

Another fail mmobomb article. This game plays hugely differemt 58+. I see retards sayimg "its about the journey mot the destination". No tard, the mew journey begins there at 58. Webzen did this on several titles to pump more bodies in the content that plays like a new game. So many brainless turds, like the author, are hard wired to think its wow....in fact even wow does this sort of thing with death knights. Stupid article is stupid.

Doing this actually will kill some group based content from 1-58. There will be shortage of players from 1-58 to play with. Aint playing game a feeling of progression where you go thru all corners of the content and having memories of it. Its to enjoy how far your character have progressed. Alot of times i see people zerg rushing to the max level in the fastest time they could and then going thru all the end game content, within a month or so they felt that its all dried up, and complaining they are doing the same thing everyday and feel very bored. Then quit...
Character progression in mmorpg have to be in a not too slow but not instantly maxed lvl speed.
Too slow people will complain it will take ages to start on end game content, too fast the game content will be burnt in no time.

Its not the grind at all. Giving away a almost maxed level character, should tell them something about there "content". Let me put this clearly...IT SUCKS OBVIOUSLY! You know what tera does wrong along with alot of other action mmorpgs? They never make anything challenging enough to utilize the action fighting system they have implemented in there games. These kinda games need to take a lesson from Monster Hunter, and Dragons Dogma and maybe then they will be able to keep there fans interested.

Even if you want to enjoy all the content on your way to the end, it wouldn't be bad to have a level 58 for those "just because I can" moments.
