Gameforge

Gameforge is German company operating in Karlsruhe and TERA's European publisher. Company is responsible for publishing the EU versions of TERA, as well as the translation of the French and German game clients.

TERA publishing rights were originally awarded to Frogster Interactive of Berlin, Germany. Gameforge had bought majority of company and its operations took name Gameforge in 2012.

Gameforge bought rights to TERA in Southeast Asia from Playwith SEA and taking over those servers in 2020. Gameforge has also taken over Russian version of TERA from Destiny Development.



Gameforge TERA


To play Gameforge TERA you need to download their "Gameforge Client" or download TERA from Steam.

Steam versions are region locked. Europeans get offered Gameforge version and Americans EME version, Russians prolly their version. It's not possible to install multiple regions versions in Steam (they install in same directory and overwrite each other). (This was more problem before Gameforge took over other regions too.) You can force installation of Gameforge version with command This overwrites old EME or other version and upgrades it to Gameforge version.

Steam TERA only allows region selection when you press "Play" button in Steam Library. It defaults to European version. It's prolly preferable to use Gameforge launcher if you play NA region. Alternatively you can create a desktop shortcut to launcher.exe in Steam installation directory and give it arguments to select NA servers.

Gameforge TERA uses premium currency called "TERA Thalers" (TT). Don't buy TT with full price. There's least two times in month special discount where you get 30–40% more TT with same price (mostly on weekends).

Gameforge TERA also has monthly subscription called "TERA Club". As other versions of TERA this premium account gives double (weekly) dungeon entries, extra Adventure Coins, free access to Ghillieglade (2&times; in day per char), free teleports to all towns, Travel Journal with some places you can save and teleport back to, 2&times; credits from factions missions like Vanguard Request or Exodor Justicar (not gold, just credits), and more fish to deliver (sell 50 vs. 30 in day on free accounts). Note that TERA Club is really expensive if you buy voucher from shop, it's half price if you buy it directly with cash. TC vouchers are really only meant for selling for game gold.

Gameforge TERA reset times are listed in Steam forums: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1651991552 ( bit ly/TERAresets ) Vanguard quests reset at 07:00 CEST (German time) and dungeon entries (Ghillieglade and Pit of Petrax) 09:00 CEST. Guardian missions reset 08:00 CEST. Weekly entries reset on Tuesday morning.

Gameforge TERA website "rework"
Gameforge deleted all their TERA website (under http://tera-europe.com) in September 2019 rework. Deleted content included all old news and announcement, including dungeon previews etc, all old patch notes, and everything about game world and races and little lore they had. There only exists small "product page" of game with total 4 screenshots of game. TERA Wiki had maybe hundreds of links to old website and those links are now broken. Luckily old patch notes since beta version are still on forum. Oddly other Gameforge titles still have barebones websites.

This new website shows only 3 latest new items. To read old news you need to use Gameforge Client or check news archive in forums or in Steam.

Old website account management still exist, but is accessible only with Gameforge Client. To: you need to use Gameforge Client (click account name, click settings, your browser will open old account management page). These are features of old website.
 * 1) access TERA Shop via website
 * 2) manage/cancel TC subscription
 * 3) do character transter
 * 4) to enter veteran key or collectors key (still available on some shops, like G2A.com).

Still missing piece of functionality from old website is server status. There's no way to see if game servers are up after maintenance or server crash.

(Please don't ask advice about this on TERA Wiki, Gameforge fucked up their website themself, bugger their support.)
