En Masse details TERA's roleplay server ruleset
En Masse Entertainment has spilled the beans about TERA's roleplay server ruleset (yes, people still RP in MMORPGs!). A new server FAQ has all the details, and the short version is that there will initially be one "official" ruleset server. Celestial Hills is where you'll want to roll if you're partial to player-generated stories, but be aware that En Masse is taking a laissez-faire stance to its RP ruleset. The company says it will implement naming conventions to discourage leetspeak and real-world references, but it also says that the subjective nature of such a policy makes it difficult to enforce. En Masse also says it won't monitor out-of-character chat, but it will boot those who "continually harass others." Finally, the FAQ addresses player requests for RP tools like the ability to walk and create custom emotes. "We are working on a list of game features to enhance your roleplay experience," En Masse explains. "[As with] all game feedback, we are evaluating and prioritizing getting it in the game."

TERA fly-through videos show off Celestial Hills and Pora Elinu
En Masse Entertainment invites you to run to the hills, the Celestial Hills to be exact (and you don't even have to be in a big-haired metal band). The North American publisher for Bluehole Studio's TERA MMORPG has released a pair of fly-through videos to close out the week, showing off both the Celestial Hills and the Pora Elinu regions of Arborea. The hills feature a series of mysterious monoliths -- rock formations whose true origin and purpose is unknown -- as well as bands of roving cultists and deadly orcans. Pora Elinu is the tree-city home of the popori race and, though the land of endless night holds many beautiful sights and sounds, it also plays hosts to deadly dangers including cultists and vampirs. Check out both of the new videos after the cut or at GameTrailers.
TERA highlights air demons in new screenshots
Hey guess what? En Masse has released some more TERA screenshots! Shocking, we know, but it is that time of the week. The latest installment of the venerable Screenshots of the Week featurette takes us to the Celestial Hills, a place of power, divine energy, and -- apparently -- air demons known as kumas. The kumas are drawn to the raw power of the region, and their ultimate goal is to harvest as much of it as their ample bodies can sustain. While we've yet to uncover any lore or further details about the demons, you can bet we'll be carving our way through hordes of them when TERA releases. Until then, feast your eyes on the screenshots in our gallery below or on the official website. %Gallery-96720%
