There’s something happening with the action MMORPG Tera in Korea: A new publisher takes over the game. And they are announcing a new class.
In South Korea, Tera was homeless for a while. The previous publisher there, Hangames, wants to withdraw from the PC business and focus on mobile. However, an attractive title like Tera shouldn’t have to wait long for new applicants to come knocking on the door.
The development team at Bluehole has now announced that the MMO giant “Nexon” will now take the game under its wing.
Nexon is not very well known here in the West, but it is a giant in Korea, which was recently about to swallow NCSoft. Here in the West, we associate Nexon with titles like MapleStory, Vindictus, or Atlantica Online. As for the “change”, Nexon promises Tera players costumes and mounts from their game “Crazy Kart” and also announces a new class, which will probably once again be reserved for the “Elin”.
In Europe, this is a hot topic of discussion, as the last three classes were all reserved for the fairer sex: Reaper, Engineer, and Stormwing are only playable as women. Those hoping for a rugged male class once again find themselves deceived. The new class will be reserved for the Elin – an exclusively female race. They enjoy great popularity and have, according to reports, already saved Tera once.
We here in the West have only recently received a new class with the Stormwing, the event is currently running where you also receive an additional character slot for it: The fresh Elin variant will therefore likely be at least another half a year away.
