Locking this thread. We don't talk about personal info from user accounts in a public forum, or with any other users aside from the account holder in question.

I will say in a very broad, general sense that we always fact check and triple check before investigating anyone, and often our GMs try to speak with users to understand a situation fully. If anyone ever feels they've been targeted or have had restrictions put on them unjustly, please contact CS or message us on the forums.

muwahahahaha

Good catch on the Shandra Manaya scene:

That specific cinematic was put into the KR post Argon Queen update for them (and us) and we didn't have time to voice over anything for it and get it into the build in time for Argon Queen launch. It'll be in shortly but aside from that we are on the same page.

Do you guys really think I have a cool beard? (swoon).

Honestly though, this interview was supposed to focus around the Halloween event with just a few generic questions about the state of TERA. Anyone that reads this and expects mind blowing revelations should know we generally save big announcements regarding content updates or big news for our own website or mass distributed articles vs. 1 off interviews.

Phaere is correct; the cinematics from the KR version were promotional videos and aren't in the game. All TERA clients have the same cinematic cut scenes.

Also, we dropped the subtitle "The Exiled Realm of Arborea" because we knew we would have named updates and it could get confusing. Case and point:

TERA: The Exiled Realm of Arborea Argon Queen Update Part I

Bit of a mouthful and confusing, so we chopped it shorter.

I am really trying to restrain myself from making a ke$ha joke right now... (must.. not.. say tik..tok..)

@Diver - Halloween event dungeon is for 10+ :)

Why is there a turkey attacking that pumpkin?

The past few weeks we've had weekend events whose primary target was level 1-59 players (double drop rate weekends) and secondarily to the level 60's (dungeon cooldown reset scrolls for everyone).

This event is targeted towards the mid-level crowd (40-60). We'll be having way more Halloween events coming up in the very near future, so don't worry! We'll have events for people of all levels.

We're trying several different things, from advertising outside the game (forums) to just doing in game announcements an hour or so before hand, to literally no announcement.

We're trying to balance what we can do on a 'flash' informal basis with player expectations. A great example would be if we had advertised this on socials, forums or even in game server wide announcements, we would have a 2 hour wait just to play and the end result wouldn't be good from a player perspective.

There will be some events that we gear towards a larger crowd, and those will have a more wide advertisement, but for these small flash events we want player to have fun and that means smaller groups :(
