For some reason, out of all the F2P MMOs out there that I sampled over the years, I never quite felt like playing Tera. It's mostly due to my preference for combat in MMOs being the slow Tab targetting and cooldown hotkey combo action in games like A Realm Reborn, Rift, SWTOR and WoW. But after playing through Guild Wars 2, I tend to prefer the more purely real time combat like in The Secret World, and Neverwinter and now Tera.
Honestly, the generic Final Fantasy knock-off art, or typical Korean MMO anime style artwork doesn't really appeal to me. I would rather play something dark and gritter with a medivel western theme, but I just think that Tera's combat is really fun.
If you haven't heard, the game is an MMO Free-To-Play on PC and it's about 3 years old and they just added a new gunner class that is really totally awesome. There is a double XP event and the servers are busy and quite populated, but I imagine that once the event is over, everyone will just move on to the next thing, Guild Wars 2 patch perhaps?
I'm also quite enjoying Neverwinter's Oathbound Palading class as well.
And that's my MMO minute.

honestly, it's that typical MMO combat that turns me off so much. Is this more action oriented?
yeah. this is more action oriented. Guild Wars 2, Neverwinter and Tera require you to move around as you attack enemies. There are still cooldowns for more powerful attacks, but the standard attacks reset almost instantly so you are always engaged in combat. I think Neverwinter and Tera support XBOX controllers I believe, but I'm using M&K.
I thought about this one when I saw it on steam but I'm not a mmo fan so I decided to pass,how do you like it..
I'd say it's one of the most accessible MMOs out there that's F2P. It's action based so the controls are pretty responsive and intuitive. I'm nearing LV 20 and it's getting pretty grind heavy. The gun is fun to use though, but very grindy so far.
