Yes, there is an IP block for certain countries for TERA in Europe. The following countries won't be able to access our Frogster servers for TERA in Europe: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Byelorussia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine.

Yep, there IS a reason to block Russia.....
But for every other country on that list I don't see any reason other than "sorry, you're too poor", am I right?

When I talk about poor countries, I mean a country where an accountant with 20+ years experience makes 250-300$ a month, and an entry job can pay no more than 70-90$ a month for the first 5+ years.
Valve is smart, they made a special region for us, lowest prices possible for games, I can afford now old titles that go on discounts, other companies don't seem to get this... so people continue to pirate shit

No nationalist. racist or anything but HELL YEAH FINALLY SOMEONE TRIED TO BLOCK RUSSIA! Now let's wait until Russia nuke them!:D
P.S. Just been through Soviet Union (not myself but my parents, my grandparents and country where I live) so I partly hate Russia!

It looks great from youtube videos tbh, at least I like it...
Also, funny thing... while watching those videos I was thinking of actually investing some time and even money into a mmorpg that gets boosted by f2p (that means 1-2 years of massive population overflow, 1-2 years of great gameplay for me), but nope, according to them I'm a hacker gold digger/idler wtf ... or I'm just too poor, read between the lines :(

It's an MMORPG that released last year or so. I was in the beta. I really enjoyed the combat system, as it was more hands on than the "click enemy, click spell" style of other MMOs I've tried. Some of the classes were great, but like most MMOs certain female races have the most revealing armor you could possibly design. I didn't like the way the quests felt and the world isn't very open to my knowledge.
Overall, it brings some new things to the table but after a while it's yet another disappointing MMO. Just for different reasons than most (it at least doesn't feel like a WoW clone.) Now that it's free I may actually play it, but I don't know if I will for sure. It lost most of its appeal after a while.

Go for the TRIAL http://tera-europe.com/en/home.html and see if you like it. It's unlimited time but with a lvl cap restriction. Then you decide to buy it and get the 4 tabs bank, the mounts and the 8 char slots

Except for the people who actually live in russia and would have been genuinely interested in playing the game.

Frogsters publishing license probably doesn't cover those countries. I think I remember something similar with another game of them. There's a russian Wikipedia entry for the game, seems like a company called NHN Corporation has the rights over there? Don't really understand any russian :P

Since it's an Asian MMO, my best guess is Frogster doesn't have the rights to offer TERA in those countries. Sadly, this happens to a lot of Asian MMOs. Most Asian developers don't have the money to run the serverparks for years. They just create the game and sell it to various publishers.

Which MMOs are left on the subscription model ?
WoW and Eve are the only ones that come to mind.

Well if you're talking western mmo's then only a few come to mind.
If you include Asia, then there are a few more; off the top of my mind Monster Hunter Frontier Online (JP) and Blade and Soul (KR) are both sub games.
ArcheAge (KR) is going to be a sub game too.

I'd consider trying it, but I already have GW2 and Marvel Heroes is comming out soon, the closed beta is nice. :)

I'm not surprised that it's going F2P. Last year, just a couple of months after release, I saw on my local retailer that I could buy two copies of this game for the price of around 10€. I didn't buy it though. I laughed. I might give it a try when it's released on Steam.
