Nuff said
Darn right I'll praise Tera for what I have seen it do right, so far. The combat system is excellent, imo. Fantastic fluid animations, sound effects, and combos make it more engaging then simply clicking buttons and abilities at random through a clunky interface like ToR's.

The interface was smooth and responsive and I experienced no lag what-so-ever and this is in the games beta. I got to partake in a little open world pvp between guilds (probably 20v20) and there was no lag and the frames didn't drop. (not surprised as it's using the proven Unreal engine)

Haven't experienced first hand what the game offers as far as end game, PvP, BG's, Arena, etc. but I do know they've gotten the simple fundamentals of combat right.

I hope it dies.

This game got more money and more hype than any recent MMO and it's just a carbon clone of another crappy game. Just look at the engine behind it... come on it's 2012 guys, time to create not copy.

IMO i'd say they are definetly gaining, even though the forums are full of QQer's who come on here to rage(lets face it, most of these threads would not have been made if people would have just taken some time to defuse after they got pissed off at something in the game). Meanwhile the other 90% which consists of non-haters is-guess what?-enjoying the game. I don't know why I come on the forums to show QQer's the error of their ways..
Show me data that says they're gaining. So far all the data linked in this thread says it is dying. Logically speaking, this game is awful. It's another generic WoW clone that isn't even as good as WoW. People like you tried to defend Rift, WAR and Aion, look how those clones turned out.

My server still regularly sees 20-48 people in Huttball, and about 1/3 that in other WZs in the sub-50 bracket. So...40-100 people PvPing sub-50 depending on playtime. The game is far from dying on some servers.

But in the end, a casual game is going to be easily played through by the harder-core players. Maybe they come back for a patch and 1.2 will cause an uptick in # of people online for a while. How long they stay depends on how good the patch is.

WoW keeps people subbed by releasing new Raid content and gear improvements every month or two. But a gear treadmill is not for everyone.

Even all of Ghostcrawlers snake-talk and lies couldn't save this game.
Damn you've been sliced in two.

Last I saw (just a couple weeks ago at best) was this game currently has (pre overseas launch) 1.7 mil subscribers. Hardly dying numbers here.

You can say (it's because people is doing other things blabla). People were doing other things a month ago, now most people are just logging to queue for warzones, finish their daily and log out. Even Ilum, which used to have 5 instances running, all of them full is now left to 1 full, and a 2 which is quite empty.

So, maybe i am wrong and suddenly the most populated EU server is the only one which suffered a massive lose of players (and that means, surely 3 of each 4 players).

That doesn't mean the game is dead, but doesn't mean it's alive when there are a lot of servers which are ghost towns and need to be merged ASAP.

This.

It's pathetic that we are in the beginning of month three and server merges are already looming.

Pathetic cause they want to expand us to new options? better times? oh heaven forbid they do that! shame on them...

Took so many other MMO"s along time to do this even with ppl wanting them after they launched but ya BAD BIOWARE for doing this, shame shame...

On that note of logic this thread is over...Beyond...
