On its 5th birthday, TERA throws out statistics. If its gold were real, the richest player in the world could buy a lot.
In America, En Masse is currently celebrating the 5th birthday of TERA, and as expected, some statistics must be brought to the table that reveal how many crazy things the players of TERA have already accomplished.
To ensure that such statistics are well received, some particularly striking numbers are needed. Developers also like to resort to some thought experiments, as long as the end result looks convincing.
An example? The richest player in TERA currently possesses 80,000,000 gold coins. If that were real gold, it would be worth 102,768,000,000$. This would easily surpass Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Mark Zuckerberg.
TERA: Elin most popular race
With other data, more can be made. The Elin are still the most popular race with nearly 4.2 million created characters.
The gender distribution is somewhat unexpected. “Only” 56.1% of all characters are female. This is an astonishingly low number considering that some classes are only available for female characters.
The total playtime of all characters combined is almost 30,000 years – that’s quite a significant amount that one shouldn’t be ashamed of.
In general, one can say that TERA looks back on a successful past. After switching to a free-to-play model in 2013 and later launching on Steam, the MMORPG is developing well. Here’s to 5 more years – during which there will definitely be many new female classes.
Our boss is tired of the female classes – he feels discriminated against.
