Have fun everyone and enjoy life around us.
The Tera population in NA is becoming smaller everyday, I'm sure you know this. Please give us a strongbox event for Christmas or something. Doing so will possibly bring some of the population back. So what if its only for the weekend. This small boost not only helps the NA Community but it also gives you a little too in the form of cash paid for the event.
If this is not possible, give us double drop/xp.
That seemed like a desperate attempt to get players back or bring in new ones in. But with all the elitism and thr +15 gear nonsense we had and how they killed pvp rewards or equalizing it the new players would just quit.
BHS calls the shots and they are killing tera intentionally and even more say having EME kill NA tera. Black friday was just swipe, Kyra event for halloween was dogshit and disappointing. Then to make it worse more cash shop items in lootboxes like always because NA tera stays alive by being a casino for people that spend on it. The fact that there is no event except to swipe more money for useless and unnecessary items.
Thr game is not fun anymore i have already quit just a few days ago and i am glad to have done so because i was always chasing into BiS gear previous patches but after 5 years of playing and being a loyal tier 9 player i am just done with this pathetic business practice. All EME wants is just money. Even support only helps first and fastest to those who have spent the most money because thry want those people to continue supporting tera and keeping the lights on.
Flash forward a bit into next year for mech suits new hairs that are rng and of course awakening skills, with no incentives or optimization. Just no.... I wish they had spent tbeir budget on fixing the game and not to remove content and give tera an abundance of content to do. Like having 4 or 5 dgns to get best gear instead of one single hard unrewarding dgn or a hard to get people for a 20 man raid and the time spent is just atrocious.
You can keep playing tera if you are still having fun of course, but soon the other whales like me will leave at some point and tera will die. Thiugh that probably wouldn't happen for another 2 or 3 years.

Simple because EU is trying to get back their players with the guise they have improved from their bad business practice days only to shaft them off later. You are ingorant to believe if Gameforge has the player interest to mind.
Besides memes aside i was using my own rhetoric for explaining why EME can't do anything and don't give me because they have their hands full with console or kritika/closers. Yeah the thing getting out of hand is EME not stepping up and communicating like they said they would at the start of each year or with some announcment/producer letter.
Just like people reroll to flavor of the month class, it's being done with EU and NA tera for what? Events and free gear? Such wow very excite. Rather for optimization new content and removal of content removal. Not more cash shop items, gender lock classes, elin exclusives, or new flashy skills that will kill fps. EME is just the pubilisher and they can only throw poor events and loot boxes at us to keep us motivated to play. The dgn changes and drop rates are decided by BHS. EME can only do double drop event or add a box for bonus reward and that's about it.
Well EU does make some of their own content considering Manahan server and DSU-type stuff. SCEM was from them I believe as well. I think most of us agree that BHS is doing a poor job as a base, but EU is making do with what they can, which includes more communication and interaction with the community.

I agree that they have stepped up to the plate. NA was great with the former team but as they left we headed for bad sailing.
There is no guarantee that gameforge will be consistent with improvements if there happens to be a falling out like what happen to NA tera with Tonka and Minea retiring. But even so communication is key to everything and EME just didn't do that for this whole year.
The fact that gameforge is trying even if some point they start old habits in the far future it puts EME to shame since they were the ones to bring EU players here and make the game more populated and fun because to be honest, EU players are what made NA tera worth playing since i feel there isn't that much of a strong NA playerbase that are end game completionists or dedicated to being the best they are willing to allow for themselves. Now that it seems queues and pvp are appearing less and lfg's are more scarce by nightfall and dead early mornings, you start to realize hiw kuch of an influence they made.
In addition we have players from outside EU as well and then considering South America players too. NA doesn't seem like a healthy population in tera anymore.
by the way its looking, maybe in neveruary lol. its Friday afternoon already. I kinda doubt there will be anyone in there doing stuff for us this weekend. the gift boxes this year compares to the 1st year of it in my opinion. last years was way better for the people buying the gifts.

The gym uniform was pretty boring IMO (it wasn't even a remodel of the rare version), and the 20-gift prize was a color-swap of the 10-gift mount rather than Elite (which can offset the price of the gifts). Also, this year the prize pool is a bit more valuable than last year (which granted, is better for the receiver). All in all... I'd say it's about even on the whole, but it obviously depends on the person.
More like it depends on the person with the fatter wallet. By which too bad no fat Santa's lol
