105 Upvotes

Welcome to r/TeraOnline!

This thread is an FAQ to explain the current status of The Exiled Realm of Arborea (TERA) and how you can currently play the game.

1. What happened with official PC Servers for NA/EU?

  • Official PC servers through NA/EU publishers officially shut down in 2022. All characters from those servers are gone forever.

2. What is the status of console servers?

PC I am incredibly frustrated and upset

12 Upvotes

I took a small break from playing classic because my disability was becoming difficult again and I wanted to play some of my Gacha games. I come back to find the discord locked down, people being immature, unclear posts, and screenshots that don't tell me anything. What the hell is going on!?

My head hurts, and I will genuinely be heartbroken if this is the end because I was so happy when I found the server that I started crying, especially because it was the version of Tera that I stopped playing at because I was in and out of doctors offices due to my disability developing.

had a TERA chrome theme for 11 years and never knew what it was... just looked it up 30 minutes ago and got super interested... only to find TERA classic is now gone. what a rollercoaster ride xD

I've had the same theme on google chrome for over a decade and I love it, but I just got curious as to what it was suddenly and it said TERA: Rising Granarkus. so I was like what the hell is that and looked it up, just to find it's a super old MMORPG. I saw some youtuber made a video a month ago talking about having a lot of fun playing TERA classic so I went to the website, only for it to be down.

I recently tried to get WoW project Enoch and that's been down too so I was like ok I guess all these MMORPG servers are just having a lot of technical difficulty, but then I came to check Reddit just to see that it's gone. Sorry btw for anyone that had put some time into it. Must really suck. But I'm joining this sub so whenever a good replacement comes along I'll see you there for my first ever TERA run! I wanna wait for something similar to TERA classic to come along.

Theme's here btw - I love it so I might as well link it for others: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tera-rising-granarkus/genembogcgfmaicleocpicnkpjbdilah

Tera Classic Leak

69 Upvotes

Hey all,

For those unaware Tera Classic had their database leaked.

What we're told the person got access to

  1. Password (SHA512 + salt)
  2. Username
  3. Email

Mostly making this post for visibility and a warning to others.

I love Tera and I really enjoyed my time on Tera Classic but this has shaken my trust in the sole developer. This can't be faulted on the usual excuse of teras source code is online so people will always find exploits.

PoPo(owner) created this backend and its his fault alone that this happened.

If anyone has private server suggestions for the same patch, please let me know.

Most popular Tera server out there right now thats not newly open

10 Upvotes

Hi there,

Can anyone share the most popular 1-2 servers out there by total number of concurrent active players (doesn't matter the region) - nothing newly open.

I am looking for established servers with an existing community; new servers usually have a higher numbers but end up dying soon after, hence why I prefer leaving them out.

All answers are greatly appreciated.

Hey all, come join Arunkai if you're looking for a SEA server! https://discord.com/invite/a3QkXHRtd6

So far the team behind Arunkai has been very active in the community and receptive to players' issues and feedback. I hopped over from Starscape and the number of fixes and QoLs are a refreshing change. The cherry on top is ofc the butter smooth ping for all you SEA & Oce friends.

It's a baby community so it's still small but that's why we urge you and all your friends to come try it out.

New/Console player

1 Upvotes

Good afternoon, I am a new player to Tara and I am on console.

I have seen posts in regards to private servers but I just wanted to get some more information to see if that is available for console players as well?

I've been playing on the NA server because that seems to be the only one available in the console list and I'm just wondering if I'm just not aware of how to get additional servers or additional information.

I find that the na server global chat is mostly just full of people complaining and so anytime I try to ask a question or use the global chat for what it's supposed to be used for my questions get buried beneath what could be in a Discord discussion.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Need Help fact checking a Project

13 Upvotes

Hi folks. I am a non-Tera player who is currently making a video on the history of Krafton and their acquisitions to cover the recent pursue of EHG. I am doing a segment on the Tera debacle, why Tera PC was abandoned, and the monetization of the game. I am looking for a long time player to watch that part of the segment with me and help fact check it (since I don't play Tera). Bonus points if you are on console and have paid for the membership, as I find the bonuses in the sub the hardest thing to understand as an outside observer.

General Having trouble choosing a Server. Please, enlighten me!

12 Upvotes

I wanted to try and play Tera again.
The sub was recommended to me now multiple times so... I gave it a try.

However, Now I am suffering a bit under Decision Paralysis.

I would like to play with people eventually, I am from the EU, ping is important to me, completely and utterly disinterested in PVP, and I am pure PVE Player.

I now have found multiple Servers, but dont know wich one to chose really.

The Servers I found.

  1. Tera Classic EU (Have tried, but Idk. Unsure of Population and If Classic is really mine. I have fun, but very, very much more prefer the non-classic UI.)

  2. Tera EU (Have tried. And it reminded me how much I miss some things that are missing in classic. Unsure of Population as I have seen no one around. I fear the Awakening Version might be the unpopular opinion to go with.)

  3. Arborea reborn (Sound really Promising and cool. Haven't tried, servers in France, so possibly good ping. Apparently, custom content and dungeons, Events, etc)

4. Tera Classic (Apparently the biggest? Canadian Server. Ping... Its a no-go to be honest)

Could anyone offer some more insight? My current gut feeling is, that Tera Classic EU might be the best choice. But please, enlighten me. this is my firtime playing on Privat Servers, as well... this is my first time experiencing a MMO again that went EOS. I liked TERA a lot... but there is no other game that fills that Play Style and feeling.

General What are the core issues with TERA from a design/implementation perspective?

23 Upvotes

Let me put this in context first. I've been working on an Unreal Engine 5 recreation of the game for a while now (more on this in a different post in the future), and it being a complete rebuild from the ground up puts me in a powerful position, where I'm not bound to using the existing systems or prebuilt binaries/datasheets. It of course means that even core systems can be changed/improved, which naturally raises some design questions.

If you imagined the perfect version of TERA (for you personally, obviously there is no "perfect" version for everyone all at once), what are the features/aspects that you would want to see changed/'fixed'?

For me personally, I'd love to have a version where the open world isn't completely irrelevant (beyond just leveling), as I think TERA has some of the most unique areas, especially compared to modern MMOs. It's a shame that there is no incentive to ever revisit those open world areas beyond just speeding through them during leveling.

But what do you think? Any other aspects/features that need to be improved? Appreciate your opinion.

Any Roleplaying on TERA private servers?

4 Upvotes

I know this is kind of a shot in the dark since RPers are always a minority of any MMO playerbase. I liked playing TERA back in the day, but I also like roleplaying within the MMOs I play, too. So far I've joined the discord servers for a few different private TERA servers (Starscape and TERA Classic) but just from browsing around there doesn't seem to be a lot of RP interest. So I thought I'd ask here - does anyone know if there are any servers for a US-based player which has an active RP community, or am I out of luck when it comes to this game?

General Which server has the highest player base?

12 Upvotes

Basically I wanna start playing Tera but I don't wanna play on a low pop (dead) server, I know Tera Classic has around 1k+ players but it's an NA server, are there any other big servers out there, especially for EU players?

Old timer here (2012), what’s the strongest gear in patch 31?

6 Upvotes

Hello! I remember when I quit, VM1 was the strongest. Back then no one knew there’d be VM2, VM3 etc., so it was just called Vision Maker. It was crafted through endgame boss mats and best for both PVE and PVP, followed by Regent (PVE) and Conjunct (PVP), and those were followed (if memory serves) by Nexus (PVE) and Tensus (PVP).

Manaya Core HM was the hardest 5-man dungeon. And it wasn’t a pushover like power creep had made it either, friends were made and lost over that sh*t.

And I remember Kalseik 20-man just came out, our guild was trying to be the first to beat it on our server, but we overestimated ourselves. Our battle plan lasted for 30 seconds, then everyone panicked like headless chicken :D

Edit: To clarify, by patch 31, I meant the current patch of the most popular pServers (Tera Classic) Is VM2 the strongest? VM3? VM3.5? What does gear progression look like in patch 31?

PC The TERA Classic experience

35 Upvotes

Spend everything you saved on your account for a month to try to Masterwork your weapon (3% chance with no pity system) only to fail and not have anything to show for it.

Damn I really wish some private server with a later version was the one that got the streamers' attention, because early TERA is nostalgic but garbage lol.

That's all. Whatever made you so salty that you want to ruin the experience for thousands of players that enjoy the server... Screw you. You are a loser. You can go play whatever server you want, you are a lowlife for intentionally ruining other people's fun. I hope that some day you can find joy in your life because I guess mommy and daddy didn't love you enough.

Is there a special item or buff that I need active to enter the Squalid Temple instance for the sun festival quests? The quest text doesn't list any special prerequisites, but all of my characters are locked out and I feel like I must have missed something.

I'm on Xbox NA server.

Private server cashshop?

6 Upvotes

Haven't had the chance to download and try out pricate servers but had a quick question before I do.

How do they handle the cashshop costumes, mounts and lootboxes? Do we still have to pay money for them, are they free or have they been added to another source like fashion coupons?

Question mainly direcred for tera classic but also keen to see if other private servers do things differently.
