*sigh*
Do I need to break out the crayons?
No not comparing the two games in terms of the actual game.
People continue to spew forth garbage about how ever MMO that has had a cash shop in an NA has failed.
Using that bit of erroneous information to draw the line that it means Tera will fail.
I offer two examples of two MMOs, you know because they're all in the same genre and no they aren't the same games, where "cash shops" and "premium services" didn't NOT cause the game to fail.
Obviously cash shops and offering premium services do not cause MMOs to fail especially if the number 1 most successful MMO (like it or hate it) has both plus merchandise.
Initial point being this isn't the first example of an MMO charging a sub AND having other means of revenue, and certainly holds NO correlation between failed MMOs and sub+cash shops.
See the obvious fact some of you are missing, is here's the practical application of this particular issue.
Follow along now...
1. For this game to be successful it has to generate revenue. Especially if the game is to develop post launch and continue to add content, features, fluff , whatever.
a. This game is actually very low key it has seen very little press from gaming media sources and those who have given it a little bit of attention only wrote a few lines about it. So consequently this game needs all the revenue it can get.
2. Subscriptions generate revenue
3. Premium services (server transfers, race changes, name changes, ect stuff nmearly ANY mmo is going to charge you extra for anyway) generate revenue.
4. Cash Shop vanity or otherwise generates revenue.,
5. Merchandise generates revenue.
6. More revenue = more development.
7. More development hopefully means a better game that offers longevity to it's players.
But I'm sensing the majority of people crying foul about paid server transfers and some albeit ridiculously overpriced weaponskins don't really care if the game is successful or not, although I would think they should considering they paid for it and everything.

For all of those people claiming a vanity/premium service cash shop will make this game fail.
NEWS FLASH!
WoW Has a Vanity/Premium Services cash shop.
Fail what?
Lol comparing wow to tera... nuff said
Not comparing the two games, just using an example of a P2P game with a cash shop that isn't a failure.
Need another?
EQ2 had server transfers and such plus adventure packs that cost cash and didn't officially "fail" until relatively recently.
Your piss poor attempt to disregard the fact doesn't make it any less of a fact.
Ok Not comparing...followed by comparing?
Tera is not WoW
Tera is Not EQ2
*sigh*
