We are aware of an ongoing provider issue at CenturyLink which is affecting multiple regions and datacenters throughout North America.

This has also caused disconnects and lag to players on multiple EME titles.

Centurylink is actively working to resolve the issue, but we have no ETA for return to normal service at this time.

4 PM Update: Players that don't use CenturyLink should be getting better connection. CenturyLink is still down and is TBD.

9 AM Update: CenturyLink is still down. There still is no ETA.

6:30 PM Update: CenturyLink is up and running again! Services should be returning to normal.

As soon as we have more information we will share it with players.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Season’s greetings!

2019 is shaping up to be an incredible year for TERA PC, and we at En Masse wanted to announce two big things happening in the first quarter.

JANUARY 2019
On January 15, we’ll release V79 (we’re still deciding on a name for the update, I apologize for the formal nomenclature), which will include class and skill balancing and a wealth of PvP changes – from Battleground updates to skill and PvP equipment updates.

FEBRUARY 2019
In February, we’ll host in game events for Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day. I expect we will also have some events to help prepare everyone for the big update in March:

MARCH 2019
March 2019 brings a change many of us never thought would come: a level-cap increase to Level 70! Currently dubbed V80, this huge update will introduce a new level cap and quests, along with a new open-world boss system! V80 is scheduled to go live in North America in late March! And that’s just the beginning…

We will release more information regarding the details of these updates as they draw closer, but we’re excited that 2019 will start off with a bang and I assure you, there are no plans to slow down after that! In the meantime, we just launched the fishing feature in TERA PC and a complete gathering/crafting system overhaul, plus Wintera is now in full swing!

I can’t wait to see you in game and to bring you more updates as we get them!

Listen up! I don’t have time for coddling you keeners anymore. The god Bahaar is coming and this world is going to need anyone who can, to stand up and fight for our survival!

I know many of you don’t have tip-top gear for battling gods, so for two weeks (from Tuesday, November 27 at 8 a.m. until Tuesday, December 11 at 8 a.m. Pacific), I’m releasing my secret enchanting scrolls to help everyone PunchUp their gear.

Now I can’t just hand these out to anyone, so you’re going to have to prove your worth by working for them.


I’m making scroll case keys available to everyone who puts in daily training: Make my scroll case keys by collecting Lady Tanly’s Determination (from the accumulated log-in screen). Mix in three Tears of My Enemy (from completing Vanguard Requests)…and voilà! Scroll case keys!


You’ll find two types of locked scroll cases by defeating the final boss of select dungeons:



Inside the scroll cases you’ll find one of twelve enchanting scrolls. These enchanting scrolls contain secret methods from the courts of the Popori Kingdom and are different than the enchanting you might be used to—these scrolls don’t require enchanting materials!

The scrolls are for either handwear or weapons.

The scrolls either work on Twistshard and Frostmetal sets (marked Frostmetal), or on Twistshard, Frostmetal, and Stormcry sets (marked Stormcry).

Here's a shiny info-graphic:



I know that all looks pretty complicated, but life is complicated!

In the simplest terms: Make keys. Unlock cases. PunchUp! your gear! Make me proud!

Hi everyone,

We have an update on our progress with the issues that we identified in our initial communication after the DMCA Takedowns surrounding TERA Proxy and other third-party programs. This update will include a couple of items outside of that initial outline and, going forward, it seems more useful and accurate to refer to these as “Focused Updates on TERA.” We’re setting a target of providing a new FUoT for you at least every two months. This will hopefully let us share meaningful updates each time instead of repeating ourselves with minor tweaks to language.

• After the announcement, we took the additional steps of reviewing previous account bans related to Proxy use and reactivated accounts that (as best we could determine from our records and data) fell inside the bounds of our current enforcement policy. This felt like a fair act we could do for our community in good faith. It is not, however, meant to signal a long-term intention to support Proxy. If Proxy or any third-party program is being used largely to cheat or disrupt the game, we will still take the necessary steps to protect the experience for our players. It is our hope that we can continue to work with the community to ensure that their key needs are met without the need for a third-party solution. As a reminder, we will only share information about our enforcement decisions/investigations with each account holder and nobody else. Additionally, please note that our enforcement policy prohibits all cheats and exploits that negatively or unfairly impact the play experience, whether they use the Proxy or not. If you witness a player using third-party programs to cheat, please report their behavior. http://support.enmasse.com/tera
  
  
• Bluehole reshuffled some resources so the v76 update will include some additional UI options that should help improve FPS issues for some players. The key item is the option to turn off all “non-essential” spell effects. That update is scheduled for November 13th. Bluehole will also be looking to make further FPS-focused optimizations throughout 2019, so please continue to share feedback on your experience with framerates in TERA and we’ll continue to pass it all along to Bluehole!
  
  
• We are going to remove Xigncode. The custom version of Xigncode that we were using for TERA was not functioning as completely and consistently as we had hoped. That limited effectiveness along with your feedback made it a relatively easy choice to discontinue our trial with Xigncode. This is one of the issues that we did not directly identify in our initial post-takedown communications but it HAS been a focus of much debate and feedback, so it seems worthwhile to officially highlight its removal from TERA. Xigncode will be removed as part of the v76 update scheduled for November 13th.
  
  
• Beyond our joint efforts with Bluehole, En Masse is working on an updated launcher that will—among other things—allow us to open up the testing of some game functions to a larger sample of users before full launch. This will help us benchmark the impact of improvements like these upcoming UI updates and should help tighten up the delivery timelines around new content. This could also create the opportunity for us to generate “event servers” to introduce novel TERA gameplay options for you in the future.
