The game is still alive?

[Ricky]

The game is still alive or is dead? how is the population situation?

[F4ngDragon]

Same as always, there's people but since it's an endgame game you will find most of the people at endgame, in fact, its hard to find others leveling alongside you at the same time since the leveling experience is extremely solo friendly. If you remember TERA from a few years ago, it is pretty much the same, just new gear, and new and returning dungeons.

I wanted to know if even in the end game the game is populated or if there are too few people

Around 300-500 players. This is obviously a dead game

It's still very populated, but I do recommend you get a guild for the higher end dungeons as people don't trust newbies after ilvl 510. (You can still Instance Match through a lot still), dungeon queue times for me don't last more than 2 or 3 minutes, this changes depending on the time and class I am queuing as, but it usually stays the same, only tanks get faster queues because they are needed.

Got it, too bad that so few people play it is a good game, and being forced to join the guild to do the end game content due to the small population makes me sad

I mean you are not forced to, I said it was for the higher end dungeons because you will get kicked out straight if you aren't known. People aren't taking chances with rookies on stuff like Bahaar or Cursed Fusion Laboratory (newest hard mode), this issue has always been there with TERA since DPS is like your honor system, if you do good DPS, you are good. And people don't expect IMS parties to do good DPS, therefore, it's either a kick or a half baked idea of trust.

At the same time, yes, TERA does have a small population (since I joined back in 2015 it always had a small population compared to your ESO's, GW2, WoW's, FFXIV's and the such), but you won't need to just team up, it's still high enough to do everything solo, out of my 7k hours I swear that I've played 5k of them solo and have had no issues at all, but I focus on different aspects of the game so it may just apply to me.

300-500 is not very populated for an mmo... I bought a disc copy of this game when it came out and regretted it as soon as the devs did nothing but start making gender locked classes for normally 1 out of 7 races and then made two classes just for the loli race only.

Game itself is good but the dev team is getting just what they deserve at this point.

A dead game.

what a pity

Around 300-500 players. This is obviously a dead game

It might seem dead, but the all time recorded average (not peak) for TERA was 1500~ players. Currently there are 630~ players online. So while 600 is less than 1500, it's not so bad.

And 500 doesn't mean an MMO is dead. Look at Champions Online, which even at its highest point had about 360 average players, and that was the highest (in about 8 years! And its highest peak was less than 800 total!). Now there is less than 150 players on it, but you can still find enough people to do 'dungeons' and level up together etc.

600 active players divided between 6 servers thats barely 100 active players per server.

This game is not dead, is more like non-existent by now thanks to the publisher that has been doing all in their hands to make it the most p2w posible.

ah, I did not know that most parts do not play from steam

[ash0787]

I would say its still worth playing, its difficult to find a dungeon after midnight, and the selection of dungeons I have access to is much less than it used to be, for example I have item level 502 now after dropping a bunch of gold to +3 my stuff and figure out how the new system works ( its totally different and more complicated ), but the game wont let me do Veliks Hold, a dungeon that i've done many times before a couple years ago, because I'm not level 68 yet on that character. I've lost track of the new 65+ quest line content and haven't been to any of the new areas, they have added many new systems to the game but I don't understand any of them. Cards, Partners, Skills Advancement. Dragons and mounts and what not. The base game is still the same though, you can still jump into Guardian Missions or do ghillieglade or go into the 2 level 65 dungeons, do your apex quest line, do your glyphs on island of dawn ( its a lot easier than it used to be though ). Still lots of stuff to do and people to do IM with, but often cross server, RU or DE or FR.

[ash0787]

If you look on Steam Chart and go to All Time the game had around 2000 players in 2018, it has 900 now, so the question is, would the game still be playable if there was half as many players as a few years ago ? I think so yes, but who knows what future bad decisions made by gameforge / bluehole / the devs will make and what will happen then. At least its not owned by Aeria Games who killed Gunz the Duel when it will had thousands of paying players.

[Saturn]

Yeah I was playing earlier today and saw several people leveling up alongside me, so it's not so dead you will feel alone.

ok thx guys
