Wonder if it actually won anything. And if it did, then what it was.
It won a bunch of those E3 awards from Magazines for best looking MMO and what not. Did awards ever matter?

Nah, it just made me wonder if it's another buzzword nowadays that gets thrown in whether there's any basis for it or not.

Been in a few guilds in different games where this was the reason for guild closure lol

"Revolutionary political system and how it will change MMOs forever" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6acSgEyP1zsThe only thing revolutionary I can see is how shitty the localization and marketing team called EME appears.

So to become a Vanrach(?) you have to catass to a certain level, form a big ass guild, use social networking to get as many followers as possible to vote for you, catass raids with your guild and then keep someone else from doing the same? Or just win in arena fights?
This ensures that the Vanarch will be a complete and utter a-hole.

I hope they go all the way and allow for coups and assassinations. Wouldn't that be a hoot.

A charismatic a-hole with powerful friends. I think they call those "politicians".

Watching that video...
1) Didn't Archlord have a similar system?
2) I'm sure 95% of Vanarchs will be by battleground appointment. Quicker, easier and you only need to watch your DPS score.
3) Is there any costume in TERA for females that doesn't show massive boobage? Even the covered top seemed more to be a push-up bra with midriff top.
4) And being in power just unlocks special guild raids. Whee.

Nothing that hasn't been talked about before, but he is an actual armorer* and he singles out Tera Online. * responsible for this:

Was it made clear how exactly this is decided? The video says something like "you can become Vanarch either by kicking ass at battlegrounds or by popular vote" but how does it decide which one of these, the battleground guy or the student council guy, gets to be El Presidente? This sounds like it could be an interesting mechanic, but I suspect it'll be a side attraction in a diku MMO. It would be interesting to design an MMO around this idea of leadership influencing how the tech advances, like some kind of MMO Civilization game, but in a WoW clone I don't see it mattering that much to 95% of the player base.

This game doesn't have raids. From what I've been told it's all single, 5 man?, group content. Maybe they added something in the last 4-5 months.

Really the only reason the game even sparks any interest for me. "Oh what's the name of that softcore mmo?"

Not having giant group content is not necessarily a bad thing for those of us who like to game with a small group of friends. Of course, this game really is only appealing for the ridiculous Korean armor/character model design.

Considering none of the games that have threads in this sub are worth a damn for gameplay reasons (lol at all the fucking clowns fawning over titles like Aion, Rift & SWORTOR at launch) I'm perfectly ok that the only MMO's I'm remotely interested in are this and Blade & Soul. Score one for titties.

Saw the post on RPS.
I think my summary would be... Blade & Soul vs Tera Online. The breast wars they have begun. NCSoft swinging for the fences here.

Blade and Soul has bigger tits. Just search the female character creator video on Youtube. You can customize your character while she wears lingerie.

http://tera-support.enmasse.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/153>En Masse will block IPs based on region. Asia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East are included on the block list. While we appreciate that there are players in these regions who would enjoy playing on En Masse servers, it's unfortunate that the vast majority of Internet traffic we see from these regions are from cyber-criminals relating to account theft, gold-farming and other hacking behavior. Translation: We do not have good methods or staff to stop botting or RMT. As such we will block the majority of residents in the world. One thing I'll give SWTOR credit for. I have friends playing from Asia and I have received one whole in-game spam and I don't see people unloading spam in general chat.
