Â I actually have had so many conversations about MMORPGs with people who seem to develop bulletproof love for games that are derivative or not very good in objective criticism (not really here, people here seem to care a bit more) so my first reaction to that is that people aren't being sarcastic, they're being real.
That, and I never played Tera. Â I've just seen enough MMORPGs to know what they look like now.
When you think about it, it's almost shocking that people would make MMORPGs so derivative of another game. Â MMORPGs, by definition, tend to involve a lot of time investment, so people aren't going to leave an MMO for one or two features that will be added in their game in the future. Â They also take so much money to develop and maintain, each should be a flagship franchise.
You'd be surprised. From what I've seen in various communities, there seems to be a subset of MMO "nomads" who are constantly moving on to the next New Shiny Game, whatever that happens to be, regardless of the game's originality. As baffling as it may be, they're out there.
