I thought this was originally April fools but this forum post seems to say otherwise: http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/news-announcements/topics/Spring-into-Battlegrounds#post-832280

Solo queue only, equal-gear battlegrounds; you can get the normal BG credits but there's no bonus rounds or boxes, wish this was here before I geared up my archer even if it's going away in a month.

P sure it was an April fools joke, it was pretty vague to begin with.

Hey when did this go free to play? I just downloaded it and logged in. Said I had a lvl 4 character that I haven't played since last june, would this make me a founder? :allears:

If you're a founder, you'll have an icon on your UI that shows your benefits, or check your titles for the Founder title.
Tera actually has a pretty good F2P system, most of the cash shop stuff is either mounts/cosmetics or a loot box that will give you enchanting/crafting materials for the most part.

I'm not sure this will necessarily be the case. Equalizing the gear is great and all but doing so will probably highlight the class imbalances even more. Which is great if you're planning to fix them, but I doubt EME is, so I have a feeling these BGs might leave some classes not so happy. So I'm not sure this is the MAGICAL SOLUTION to PvP issues.

Anyway, it's solo queue only so if you want people who know what the hell they're doing you'll still probably want to play the regular one. I'm worried that this will split up the queues so much that the queue times for either will be significantly longer. At any rate it's a temporary event apparently so... whatever, we'll see how it works.

I am slightly annoyed that this gametype suddenly showed up AFTER I grinded my conjunct weapon though. :v:

Will likely invest more time in the E.U. client getting my Slayer the last 7 levels to 60 but the U.S. client didn't seem too laggy at all. Just a shame I can't carry my Collector's Edition key over :P

I don't think you just come down with dehydration, I think you abuse yourself from poopsocking and only drinking Mountain Dew.

More importantly, you can buy almost any cash shop items with gold from other players with the exception of elite subs.

Also, the BG event is a real thing, courtesy of Desumetaru;

What is the US Guilds looking like on numbers and classes? My buddies have pretty much stopped playing and we haven't gotten that far really. I'm thinking of bumbling over and making a Lancer and a Mystic. I did have a Warrior but man I am bad with that class.

Lancers and Mystics are both in really high demand (Mystics especially) at level 60. We have tons of Berserkers and Sorcerers from what I can tell.

Question: With my school schedule being so packed (apparently I did not want an easy final school term before graduating) my time availability for Tera has just dropped to 0 - whenever I have nothing going on. Should I move my main to the alt guild to make room for other goons?

FYI - My main is Padonkadonk

Is the guild information still correct in the OP? I applied to that dragon guild but a guild called Something Terrible sounds like a lot more fun :3:

I bought this game when it launched and never played it at all but now that it's free and I have founder's status I guess I'll check it out!

The PvE guild is dead so if you want to play with goons you'll have to come to MT and join DGKK. If you're afraid of PvP its easy to avoid by switching channels.

Too bad that the EU guild seems mostly dead, I have my friend who got me into the game on EU, and don't have the HDD space (or the money to buy bigger discs) for two copies. I guess there's no way to just edit some files which'll set the region to US instead?

I made a guild for me and a couple friends (who are not goons) on EU, Killian. If any EU goon's want to join it I guess I could post the info if there isn't any "official" guild. Some other guys also had a guild on different server but I never got around to joining that.

Well, there is the goon guild I got invited to the other day on Fraya (where I luckily already had both my chars), but the most I've seen online since I joined are the GM and another guy last night when we tried to trio SM without a healer. We almost managed. Almost.

RE: client region changing. Conversion process seems pretty simple. The two clients (EU and NA) share the folders "Art_Data" and "Sound_Data" located in "TERA\Client\S1Game\CookedPC". 27.1gigs to be exact. Keep those two folders and replace everything else with US client files. A few hundred MB. Actually, a lot of the remaining files seem similar too, but I don't know for sure. Launch tera with new US "TERA-Launcher.exe" and you should be good to go.

I have a theory that the only thing that needs replacing is just the .exe's. Someone who has both clients could test that out for us, if they don't mind.

I also had a look around for tera private servers, see what they do to change realms/regions (world of warcraft style). The only private server I could find uses a custom launcher .exe... and nothing else. I believe that "region" is held within the launcher you use. Ergo, the only thing that you need to replace to change client regions is merely switching En-masses/Frogsters "TERA-Launcher" exe.

The maid outfit is now live on US tera? Neat!

Between the free keys on Valentines and the insane prices of keys on St. Pats, I've got about 23k gold, yet I'm only level 34 (haven't played in a month, only log in for events). Is there any use for that much gold before 60?
