It seems that the European version of TERA will no longer feature blood effects. This 253 page thread shows just how frustrated players are about this censorship. I feel there was probably some logical reason that probably has something to do with the European PEGI rating system, however with the lawsuit and poor launch in Asia this game does not need any more bad news.

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)
