Tera | Going Free-To-Play In February

The true action, fantasy style MMORPG Tera is going free-to-play in February. This news obviously came as a huge surprise considering the game launched just nine months earlier with a traditional monthly subscription.

The first question would be: what happens to all of the players who are part of the first and only year of subscription? Luckily Gameforge, the company that manages Tera in Europe, has confirmed that those players will be granted Veteran status after automatically being submitted into the Tera Club until the game transitions to free-to-play.

The Tera club will give a number of bonuses to already dedicated players until they are able to enjoy their Veteran status in February. This special status will then provide players with all eight character slots when typically only having access to two. Veteran players will also be granted four bank tabs instead of the usual one, along with a bonus title that’s available in game. From there both experience and new players alike will enjoy an assortment of original content including new bosses, dungeons, challenges, raids, and an innovative three versus three battle arena.

Here’s the trailer that TeraEurope uploaded to their youtube channel to accompany the big announcement.
