Actually i really wan to know where this theory come from, i play alot alots of games (majority non MMO) and i never actually saw games that allows u to pay monthly subcription without buying the game 1st. Do any games really like that? I have play "S" class MMO, non of them like that. No offence intended, just wan to know if theres games like that and some ppl also thinks the same.

In this TERA case, in order to play, you have to buy the game 1st, the game itself come with 30days game time, after that you got 2 option where you can pay monthly subcription
1. via TERA europe website cost around RM51
2. via offgamers reload card cost around RM42

word of advice, dont try it now seems very laggy these few days
me using unifi 5Mb, usually are playable without any vpn or proxy

Incx here use 512kb stremayx also said no big problem as well

Unifi 5MB.

Less than 100? I don't see how that's possible hehe. Maybe if we all roll back to Perfect World or... something China-server related.
Nope. I applied laetrix patch the other day during those laggy nights, I noticed a slight improvement. Nothing major really, so you could try it if you want.
And this isn't low at all. It is playable, but you wouldn't be able to combo as much as another user at a local region.

The only way I see you "trying out" is requesting from a user here for a Tell a Friend code. Dunno if its still valid. if it is, you could try it out for a week.
