Tera
The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Tera, developed by Krafton Inc. subsidiary Bluehole Studio, is done and dusted. After nearly a decade of operation, the game’s English publisher Gameforge announced that, because it was “no longer able to offer you the exciting and satisfying content you deserve,” the game would be shut down, and indeed, the servers were taken offline as of June 30.
It’s always a shame to see games get taken offline, no matter the reason. While some of these are still playable in one way or another, a vast majority of them aren’t. It’s for this reason that game preservation is so important. Without knowing our history, without keeping track of where we came from, we can’t ever know where we’re going.
