Tera

Developers from South Korea will leave a very bright mark on the computer games industry. Several years ago, they managed to somehow open the "gold mine" MMORPG in some unknown way - and began to rivet dozens of such projects, like a blueprint. Something more or less original from among the incredibly epic games about traveling through a fantasy world with a sword of two human height (for only two hundred bucks!) Is extremely difficult to pull out at the ready.

Tera at first glance seems to be another Korean MMORPG, so classic that it could be published in Russia by Mail.ru. But if you dig deeper, it turns out that donation is completely optional here, the role model is well-developed, and the world is diverse and very populated.

On the day when I dreamed about you, I thought of everything myself ...

Tera mythology is quite classic MMORPG. Once upon a time there were two titans, Arun and Shara, and somehow they lay down for a nap. And they still sleep. Their bodies became the continents called the Exiled Kingdom of Arborea.

Dreams of the titans come true. Therefore, at first, 12 powerful creatures appeared on the Exiled Kingdom, each of which was equal in strength to the gods. And, of course, they quarreled among themselves. And then they made up and went about their business, periodically looking at Arborea.

And Arun and Shara are still asleep. Now, from their dreams, the first mortals came to Arborea. They, too, did not like the godlike creatures, and war broke out. As a result, most of these "twelve friends of the titans" were rendered harmless - destroyed or captured. And mortals have united in an alliance and now protect Arborea from external threats.

Races and Classes in Tera

So, the study of Arborea begins with the choice of race and class. And there is something to sit over, thinking and resting your head. The fact is that there are 7 races, and there are 12 classes, so there are almost dozens of role models available to choose from.

The following races are available:

• Snakemen Aman. Terrible reptiles that are distinguished by increased protection. Not only do they have a "native" damage resistance of 10%, but also when the character's health falls, the resistance increases by another 10%;
• Elin's forest fairies. Incredibly cute and kawaii characters with forever young, childish bodies. They know how to pacify monsters, collect various valuable herbs and quickly move around the battlefield;
• Demons of Castanica. They are distinguished by their harsh disposition and sharp mind. For a long time they served the evil, but now they are trying to rehabilitate themselves. They also trade well, which clearly contradicts previous aspirations. Good in all areas of combat;
• Bear-like giants of Barak. One of the first intelligent races on Arborea, possessing a huge amount of ancient knowledge and a peaceful disposition. They know how to quickly heal (albeit with a long cooldown) and are distinguished by increased endurance;
• High Elves. They look decent creatures, but incredibly proud and arrogant. Therefore, the world between elves and other races does not even rest on scotch - on chewing gum. They are good both as warriors, as mages, and even as supports;
• Sentient animals of Popori. The adorable appearance of these creatures betrays their kinship with the forest fairies of Elin. Therefore, the skills are similar - they can pacify monsters, quickly rush around the field and collect various useful herbs;
• People. In Tera, they appear arrogant and selfish. Known for their arrogance, but managed to stifle this quality before quarreling with the rest of the races. They know how to restore health and reduce the value of damage done to them in some cases.

Classes are more interesting:

• Knight. Classic "tank" with heavy armor and exclusively close combat;
• Breaker (human female only). Melee class. He wields huge magic knuckles, which both deal damage and protect from attacks;
• Warrior. Classic DD - a class focused on inflicting main damage to opponents;
• Assassin. Another DD, only with a huge two-handed sword a couple of human height;
• Berserker. A melee warrior capable of striking an area. Special skills of the class take away health from the character;
• Engineer (human women and castanics only). Ranged specialists wielding extremely powerful mega-cannons;
• Archers. Likewise, only ranged specialists. Attacks are fast, but highly dependent on equipment;
• Reapers (Elin girls only). Fight at medium range, very nimble.

Of course, these are not all classes. There are also mages, healers and many others.

Tera in Russia

Tera appeared in Russia in 2015 and was immediately available via free-to-play mechanics, as in other countries. True, it did not last too long.

On June 1, 2020, the Russian Tera server was closed. The players were transferred to European. However, registration of new characters for people from Russia was also closed.
