So May 1st is the day

For those of you who dont know yet, that is the closest date for a triple A MMORPG to be released, which is TERA.
So how will it impact SW:TOR subscriber base? Action paced korean Themepark with less grind than Korean games are known for. I think it will have some impact, I for sure will get it.

I wonder what impact it may have on Rift. Or WoW.
I've had enough of the high heel wearing, short skirt dressing, oversize weapon using cartoon-fests so I'll be passing on TERA as well.

Completely diffferent games are completely different.
Probably will have different audiences.
I don't really care, I'll play Tera, and I'll come back to SWTOR, and I'll play TSW, and then I'll play GW2....
What kind of impact will SWTOR have on TERA when they release new content? What impact will GW2 have on TERA as they are both in the fantasy genre?
Play whats fun, who cares if theres an impact. TERA won't kill SWTOR, nor will it kill any other game, but if its fun, play it. Why should anything else matter?
WIth OB plans underway for GW2, as well as i thought TSW was supposed to hit OB around april, I'm not sure that May 1st is the date of the first competition TOR will see.

It won't impact it at all. I strongly suspect that they speak to different demographics.
I also suspect that the casual players who play SWToR (non-gamers) probably never heard of Tera.
For me all it means is that my game time will be fractured even more.

TERA looks ok.. doubt it will be a hit in the US though.. looking forward to blade & soul more than TERA honestly.

Yeah I am definetly buying TERA but it wont stop me playing SWTOR.
LoL, believe me, nobody playing swtor atm care about tera online. And tera is not even a triple A mmo, it wont impact a game like swtor at all. it will be the death for AION, but thats all.
LMAO! yeah i'm not very interested in lineage 3 (i mean Tera) either. But more power to it if it's awesome!
maybe it will show some other MMO's how it's DONE! At least that's towards the end of my semester so if i was magically interested in it suddenly then i'd have time to play it some.
The only reason I'm interested in TERA is the Phantasy Star-esque combat. PSO was my first "mmo" and I have a fondness for it... but word has it that PSO2 might not see a NA release. Had it been anything else, I would have likely passed as well.
SWTOR will be well on it's way to FTP by May all on it's own, IMO. I doubt any new game will have a measurable impact on what's left. [Mod Edit]
LOL at all the haters hating on all these different games.
Just play whats fun or you like?
Not that I don't wish all who want to give TERA a try all the luck and fun they're looking for, but after the many (themepark) MMO hating posts I've seen pass by from the OP, this new enthusiasm for the purest themepark MMO of the upcoming batch is kind of silly and double standards at the least.
As for TERA, so far TSW is planned to be released in April, so it'll certainly be interesting how that'll go. Personally I'll give TSW a shot: love the non-standard fantasy/scifi theme with its modern day fantasy/horror setting, RvR sounds interesting as well as the whole no classes/no levels thing, and from what it looked like they seemed to hit the atmosphere as right as they did for AoC. Plus Tornquist is after Dreamfall and The Longest Journey a designer that I respect.you couldn't be more wrong if you tried
Tera will have the same impact on SWTOR and Rift as Aion had on WoW, EQ2, and LOTRO: absolutely none.
Tera plays nothing like an asian grinder.
apart from the visual style, it has a very unique gameplay and I'm sure that it will appeal to a very large audience
luckily, I got to play it already hehe and I was really impressed with
1 - graphics
2 - awesome unique real time gameplay, different for each class
3 - great story/atmosphere
it's sort of like a mixture of DCUO combat with LOTRO visuals and some asian lore here and there.
my only beef with it was that the classes are too frigging sexy or childish. there was nothing in between. I felt like playing a neutral character, but it was either a Boobalina Gstringypants or a Fluffor McTeddibearings
but if I were to assign a score to this title, I'd easily give it a 9
(swtor being a low 5 on my scale)

(I sort of knew nothing about the game when I did this firstlook, so pardon the ignorance)
I review lots of indie games and MMORPGs
It doesn't play like DCUO at all....

tera is a revolution in mmorpg combat these days , better u ll accept it and support games like this , or we will play the some old stupid boring combat mmos in 10 years , and have every year 1-2 triple a mmorpg releases because , they are boring after u hit the lvl cap ...

Not sure how my dislike of Themeparks has anything to do with anything but TERA does boast action type combat and end game political PvP system.
That alone is enough for me to disregard the Themepark type, like I disregarded it for SW:TOR to play some Bioware signature single player storylines. {mod edit}
The Secret World is Funcom and with their AoC debacle I am not expecting much from them.

Anybody can post subjective and baseless guesses...
More substance please, less teenage speculation.
Come back im may 2 to tell me how wrong i was. Its me free day, been playing swtor all the day, didnt hear a single word about tera ingame, my 200+ members guild or even in the forums, and Probably by that date we will get a new swtor content patch.
Im not expecting anything from tera nor swtor nor any mmorpg that is currently out.
Morpgs are dead at least till titan releases.
Either i'm missing something or standards must really be low if anyone thinks Tera is a Tripple A MMO.
It's not even sub par in my book...
Actually you are wrong.
For these SWTOR forums May 4th is the day.
May the 4th be with you.
