Tera Unveils the $25 DLC Horse

[Baldr]

Blizzard 10 million subscribers and 150+ mounts available by the time they released the celestial horse, so buying one didn't really make the player anything special.

I don't know much about Tera, but I'm guessing there is not a lot of mounts in the selection department, so there are not a lot of cool looking mounts.

if i were to buy that night mare, i would name it Mare Imbrium

(cookie if you know the meaning, bigger one if you know where it is, the biggest, if you know which series of novels i am referencing)

A reference to a mid 80s YA fantasy novel? No one is going to get that. And if they did, hypothetically, they would probably have trouble coming up with an appropriate pun for acknowledging it...

(Although I guess he's still writing those books. I should pick up a recent one and see how things have gone.)

Night Mare??? like the Nightmare horse in EQ2 that is identical to this one in appearance and name??? only in EQ2 it's FREE (except for ingame money)

Hmm I wonder if tera could get suid for this by sony. coarse I don't give a flying fuck for Tera so for all I know they might be owned by sony.

A $25 horse?


OT: Subscription based gaming has never been so epic.

Can't wait to try TERA when it goes F2P.

Why would you want a game to be ruined by f2p noobs.

 

[Vrach]

Oh, I thought Tera was a subscription based MMO~? The $25 mount sounds more like something you'd be expected to pay for in a free to play MMO and even then, you'd usually expect there to be cheaper alternatives.

You haven't looked at WoW recently, have ya?

Ruined? Nonsense.

I'm not prejudice against F2P'ers so I don't mind one bit. Just means I'll have more people to play with. :3

Last time I played WoW (a year ago), owning a Celestial Steed as a matter of ridicule.

They might be able to get someone to buy on the off chance that there are people who haven't seen a million Night Mares already.

 

[WaysideMaze]

$25 and all you can come up with is 'Night Mare.'

Still, MMOs, subscription or F2P, releasing overpriced shit is hardly anything new. Tera's not the first, it won't be the last.

I wonder if we'll get to see sale statistics at some point. I'm just wondering how many people are actually going to buy it.

Nope. Haven't had the time or money to play any subscription MMO in a long time. <.<; Did the $25 mount sell well on WoW~?

 

[Paragon Fury]

I don't think the pile of hookers and blow that particular cash horse bought has run out yet, so yeah, I think the $25 WoW horse sold well.

Ridiculously well, aye. I've stopped playing a while back, but I remember the spectral horse thingy selling like hotcakes, cities were full of them.

 

[Xaio30]

My Little Pony did it first. This is just blatant STEALING!1

 

[vherkin]

If i pay extra will it come with a monocle ?

 

[zombiesinc]

At least this horse DLC actually looks awesome. Still... I'm shaking my head, just shaking my head.

If it works for Tera as well, more power to them. The article seems much less remarkable now.
