  • (Quote) This is the event that single-handedly destroyed Kyra's and caused them to have to wipe all the outstanding catalysts out in the next round (and was why the last Kyra's had such relatively poor prizes). People were way way too good at findi…
  • (Quote) Which servers? Population on CH has not seriously abated in the last year, even if people don't care about the latest end-game content. Population on FF isn't suffering at the moment. Maybe AV to a certain degree? But it's still higher t…
  • (Quote) Because events are the actual thing EME manages, not the game or its code. But besides that, BHS's penchant for RNG is hardly news. This is the same dev team that just removed the PvP merchants and replaced it all with lootboxes, and repl…
  • (Quote) Well, in the original merge 4 1/2 years ago, it was first-come-first-serve but then you could appeal to support if certain conditions were met. So there actually were some constraints in the past too. That being said, yes, this last move …
  • (Quote) Isn't this basically what they did during the last server merge that created FF? Inactive accounts were dropped out of consideration, and other than that it was based on most play time. I'm less worried about names than about people who h…
  • (Quote) It used to be, back in the original version of the Lumbertown region, you'd have to kill a bunch of these guys for some of your quests. I think it was also one of the first repeatable guild quests (again, in the old system). Now, I think …
  • It's probably going to be rolled-up into the next scheduled update, likely 5-7 weeks after the current update, as this is pretty much the schedule that global TERA (non-Korean) is running now.
  • (Quote) This is like some sort of unobtainable holy grail of events. If something is rewarding enough that people want to do it over and over, it means that people who farm the event will end up way ahead of casual players. And if you want somethi…
  • (Quote) BHS would see that the actual metrics they track are falling, and that it's not just typical whining on the forums, would investigate what the issues are and maybe do something -- or not. Either way, they're much more likely to take it ser…
  • (Quote) I think all these issues are likely more related to the CPU/RAM usage problems than anything with networking itself. If your computer is being pegged and perhaps over-heating, everything is going to suffer. Ping would be the least of your…
  • (Quote) There are multiple different issues going on at once. This particular source of lag is a separate issue, and we talked about it a few posts earlier. But it's not the only problem people are having either. Some of the lag problems people …
  • (Quote) The reason for switching to Savvis was not because they were trying to increase your ping times in Brazil. A big reason is because Savvis was generally having lower ping times and less lag for U.S. players on Comcast (the biggest American I…
  • (Quote) Not all phone numbers work; it depends on your country and phone provider whether it supports that particular service. If it's something that used to work for you and just suddenly broke, I'd contact support and send them your phone number.…
  • So... it's an issue caused by the Savvis backbone switch... exactly as I said all along. (Quote) They are not related at all.
  • I think the real problem is convincing BHS. I'm pretty sure they see the original TERA as a disaster they saved/kept alive by the changes they made, not as something they should ever try to go back to. TERA has always had a high attrition rate, bu…
