Hello, TERA fans!

Launch is right around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited! We are definitely busy putting the finishing touches but for us the launch can’t come soon enough so that we can share TERA with you.

Before we dive into TERA, though, we have scheduled maintenance hours to transition TERA into a live game before launch. This maintenance period will be from 12:00AM to 7:00AM Pacific Time on April 30. The servers, and all TERA-related sites (including the forums), will be unavailable during the maintenance process.

Although we chose the maintenance window to accommodate the majority of users (and their sleep cycles), as gamers ourselves we understand that sometimes time just crawls by when you’re waiting to play a game. The good news is that you’re getting in sooner than anticipated—sort of our way of saying, “Thanks for your patience!” So we will begin Head Start at 8:00AM Pacific Time on April 28, four hours earlier than originally planned!

New Head Start Hours

• Begins: April 28 at 8:00AM Pacific Time
  
• Ends: April 30 at 11:59PM Pacific Time

Maintenance Hours

• From 12:00AM to 7:00AM on April 30, the game servers and all TERA-related sites
(including the forums) will be unavailable.

If you’re dying to get back to TERA, hang in there. We’re almost there! See you all in Head Start!

That's nice, but it'd still be nice to get eggs back...

Sup, EME? I couldn't care less about when my head start gets rollin considering you just removed a highly useful aspect of the game for me.

Don't bother to post either.

I'm sure you're very busy.

Oh man 8:00 AM. @_@

Thanks for the heads up.

Hey, EME, ignore these two (CandleJack and Nex660). They are just a little, how shall we put this nicely, "irritated", that they now have to do a little more work and can't just easy-farm crystals over and over and over and over again easily through repeatable quests or quests while leveling.



Awesome for the earlier head start, understandable for the maintenance. Actually, the maintenance gives me a reason to not start slamming the doors of Gamestop asking for a midnight release! XD

Super awesome and all that head start's starting earlier, but what about the buddy codes? =/ I got some friends on the fence about this game and they're itching to try it out (why they didn't just do the OBT, I dunno). We haven't heard a word about them in the announcement thread other than pre-orders are supposed to get them but haven't been. An acknowledgement about the situation would be appreciative.


Sorry didn't mean to switch the topic. It's just raising some concern how "mum" En Masse has been about it so far.

OH MAN WE ARE SO CLOSE! Thanks for the heads up Minea!

i love you guys, and absolutely hate you guys.

Way to make me get up at 8:00AM :( I don't even get up that early for work!

Can a EME rep clearly state that this means what I think it means?

edit.. I think I am confused. How will the Headstart->Launch level cap work then?

Yes EME, only listen to people who praise the ground you walk on. Because that worked SO well for SWTOR.
