Aaaand I started Tera Online.

There's not really a perfect 'race, class' set up. Most people play elin at least when i played it when it was [ay2play.

I loved playing elin slayer. :3

For some reason I had 3 installs of Tera on my computer. Uninstalled them all yesterday.

It was good when it was subscription only. Now it's full trash.

tera isn't as good as line age II was :S i know it is apparently a "stolen" line age III, but it just doesn't come close to being worthy i think. i'd recommend waiting for blade & soul or phantasy star online 2. but if you are only into graphics then tera might be something for you i dunno. good luck i hope you find a better answer than this.

Can't really give you much advice since I just started recently but here it goes:

Fraya and Veritas are the most populated English PVE servers, Killian is the most populated PVP one.
I play on Veritas, and during the day there are plenty of people, but since this is a new server (around a month old), most people are still in the lower level areas. It's also pretty empty during the late hours (past 2 AM), so it's much harder to get a party then.

About races: You should just go with whichever you like best. There are some racial benefits, but they are negligible. Here is a list:

Take it from a guy who played Lineage 2 for over 6 years, Tera doesn't come close to it. Simply cause the PvP in Tera is almost non existent. Also the challenge is not the same either, u get to max level in 3 months or 4 , playing casually, getting the best gear would take maybe 2 more months and after this u can't do pretty much anything since the PvP wasn't really thought trough , mass pvp with Tera's engine will make most PC's stutter (even great ones.)

Line Age??
Do you mean Lineage?

I already seen this thread before..

Anyway, I tried Tera, noticed the graphics were really crappy (maxed settings), noticed my X-Crap 360 controller was too damn buggy for that sensitive game, then unistalled that crap.
