    Our next Maintenance is Thursday (5/24). I will buff TERA letter drops for world BAMs to a bit better than previous drops to make up for this week. During maintenance the following Thursday (5/31) we will need to remove the TERA letters form world BAM drops since this needs done during maintenance.

    I have increased the number of Giant BAMs in the world by a magnitude of 6 and increased their hit count by 50%. These BAMs will be around until the 28th at 4am with the increased numbers and hit count.

    No. Terrons operate on their own spawn rates.

    I'm glad we get the original letter drop rate. However, I feel that the nerf to the letter drop rate was unnecessary as the rate was already low enough that in order to get the mount at 75 token you had to play hours upon hours of BAM IOD farming.

    So, we lose a week of normal letter drops. And in order to rectify this, you give us a week of normal letter drops back?.....cool You know what they say if its isn't broken, break or something.

    I hear you. We don't talk percentages, but I will break that rule this one time. Just this one time.

    The percent for each letter was .05. It dropped to .03. I am changing it to .075 for each letter. I did not say it was returning to "the original letter drop rate". I said "a bit better than the previous drop rate".

    I took a break from TERA for about two years, started when it launched. Left because of "better graphic games". Been back for about two months now and remember why I left. It was because of lack of communication between the CM, it was some lady with red hair don't remember and then
    SpaceCats was the CM. Very sad when I came back and found out he left.

    The point i'm trying to make is I'm glad you are someone from EME that attempts to communicate what's going on and listens to what we have to say. It's kinda strange for me to see this. Thanks for taking time to communicate this to us. Weren't you original just a core TERA player back then?

    Just want to add a thank you very much for increasing the rate for next week. Please have everything in the token shop by the 24th, so we have an idea of how many tokens we will end up needing. Thanks for adding in more larger BAM's. I will have to start looking for those.

    Thanks again. We really do appreciate it.

    TY for giving me my overworld hunting back! Tried hunting Titans last night and had a blast!

    Got enough letters to make about 8 tokens, a scarf and some of the new consumables, all in less than 45 minutes.

    My dreams of Goldenmare are now achievable!

    Edit for spelling

    @SingleBear could we get the go karts in the Dressing room ? for the purpose of previewing them before obtaining them from the token shop.
    ty

    or a picture of them here.

    Adding letters to the token shop would help to. I literally have like 40 of T, R, and A with no E's. It's gonna be such a waste to have to trash them all.

    I hope they don't wait until the last week to add everything to the token shop. No doubt the last items will require a lot of tokens. I am hoping they add something for the ladies besides the new hair styles. Go karts are nice, but they really aren't for everyone.
