In a saturated MMORPG market, TERA is looking to attract some attention by offering new players a free seven-day trial.
If you are looking for a different type of MMO, this might be it. TERA delivers a new type of gameplay by delivering "true action combat" based not only on stats, but on player skill. You must accurately target your enemies to successfully land attacks and abilities.
“We are thrilled that the unique experience of TERA’s true action MMO gameplay is resonating so strongly with our players,” said Chris Lee, vice president of publishing at En Masse Entertainment. “Now we want to open up to new players curious about the game with a free one-week TERA trial, as we’re confident if you play, you will stay.”
The TERA trial is good for seven days from the time you enter the trial code. You will be able to level up eight characters to level 23 on one server during the trial. There are some restrictions – trial players cannot vote in TERA elections, for instance – but for the most part, you can enjoy the full benefits of the game during the free week of play. To participate in the free trial you must create an En Masse account and then enter the code "TERATRIAL" to download and play.
