But all good things must come to an end, including Tera, which will close at the end of June.
The adventure is over. Unfortunately, we have bad news: the developers of TERA have decided to stop work on TERA. As the last remaining publisher, it is with a heavy heart that we must respect Bluehole’s decision and shut down the game as well. https://t.co/LFaJU1fhDk pic.twitter.com/HwjPO1s9leApril 20, 2022
