It didn't fail in Asia.

Actually, I don't think it did that great in Korea. It's supposed to be really Westernized though so it shouldn't be that grindy, etc.

Also, here's a link to my topic in the Donor Forum if anyone wants to add any discussion, etc to it.

not enough end game and not hard enough to level is what made it not so great for koreans. 1 year of after release content/patching and action combat sandbox is gonna do decent here i think..

It's still in the top 10 of most played games in that market. I'd consider that as a sign that it's still doing well.
It's certainly lost players since release, but not such an amount that it's deemed "failed".

tera doesnt have any sandbox elements?

My friends and I from other MMOs started a new Tera IRC channel because the "known" one is full of tools and massive d*ck wavers.

#NATera @ Quakenet IRC if anyone wants to join, pretty active so far and will get more people. It'll be a pretty active chat.

hm this game is p2p right? i rly wanna try it and i dont mind whether if its p2p or not but wondering if it is

Yeah, its P2P, but you can buy game time with in game currency also.

Yeah, the NA beta starts this weekend and is every other weekend up to the first week of April.
