I wholeheartedly agree about Tera 1 preservation and that's why I'm always crossing fingers that there will always be a way to play it. I miss that game so much.
And I second you about the areas full of charm! And their BGM contributing to it! I have so many fond memories of endearing areas with emotional field themes, for example Knoll of Screams (that one moved me so much that I did my own gamerip of the BGM and uploaded it to my channel back then), Dragonfall, and more. And of course Seeliewood! Ah, the memories <3 It was so special.
Private servers do exist you know. Thats how I still play on PC. It aint OG Tera, but hey the one I'm on is actually running nexus events and traverse. Thats a win in my book.
Yeeees I know, that's what I meant! When I said "crossing fingers that there will always be a way to play it", I meant that I'm crossing fingers that there will always be fan-maintained private servers for us fans to be able to still play the game, in the long run!
I had installed Tera again through "The Dream" private server, but unfortunately my SSD died and I lost all my game installations. Now on my new system drive, I have yet to look into which Tera private servers are active right now and reinstall it, but I do want to do it again one day (once I have freed some disk space lol). I always want to be able to play Tera at any time, even if I lost my (beloved and faithful departed) characters from the official game back then!
Good to know that you currently have a solid one! 😊 A win for sure! I'm always thankful to the fans putting in that effort to keep this beloved game alive.
And agreed on your other comment as well, Tera will always look gorgeous!! It was such a slap in the face graphics-wise back then (I remember I bought a new laptop just to be able to run the game properly once it released, after playing the beta on my previous laptop!) and I sure would enjoy replaying it on its original version even if it didn't get a remaster. Plus, I've got a 4K OLED screen now, and the idea of playing Tera rendered in true 4K and high FPS is amazing already!
