May 1 has arrived and after months of controversy and mixed Beta reviews TERA has officially launched! Its not unusual for freshly launched games to experience some issues and TERA is no exception. Some players are encountering issues that are preventing them from enjoying the game. En Masse is "actively working to resolve them."

Meanwhile En Masse has released this new TERA Launch Trailer. One thing I have to say is they sure know how to make good trailers.

TERA is one of those MMOs that has me a bit intrigued. On one hand the game is already launched in Korea in 2011 to mixed reviews. On the other hand the game strives to be a AAA MMO with some interesting game mechanics, combat and graphics. I am going to keep my mind open until I have an opportunity to try the game. For those of you interested in TERA you can now sing up for the open beta. Alternatively you can wait until May 1st 2012 when the game will officially launch in North America (May 3rd in Europe)

Although it is estimated that over 1.5 million players have pre-ordered SWTOR and have been enjoying it during the pre-order early access, we are happy to announce that SWTOR is now officially launched. For some of us December 20th marks the beginning of years of gameplay and stories. To celebrate BioWare has released the Launch Documentary called “Your Saga Begins”. In the least it should keep you occupied during the login queues.
