    Tera

    How about a Tera section. It has more threads and posts than most of the other mmo sections.

    Keep in mind the same was true for Skyrim as well, but after the game had been out for a bit, discussion dropped way off.

    The Tera thread has 3,643 posts as of writing this; that's compared to the smallest subforum for a video game, Minecraft, at 4,803 posts. I wouldn't say it's "bigger" than most of the other mmo sections.

    If Tera remains active a few months after release we will consider a subsection for it, but until then the megathread will remains

    Just to point out I and alot of other people tend not to post in megathreads as stuff just gets lost amongst other posts, but I would post alot more if it had its own forum.

    Also if Minecraft has its own forum im pretty certain Tera should!

    If tera is popular a few months after release they will likely add a subforum.
    look at all the people asking for a skyrim sub forum but there's hardly any talk on the skyrim thread now

    We're over 300 pages in the TERA megathread now. Any chance we can get a sub forum yet? Really would make discussion easier.

    TERA has been out for...a week? Give it a little time to settle and see if the hype holds up. Skyrim is a good example of something that had a ton of hype here, wanted their own subforum, and has fallen by the wayside relative to how active the thread used to be

    Plain and simple question: Tera looks imba, is it really that good?

    Skyrim is not an MMO so I'm not seeing the comparison. How many pages does there have to be to prove that people are interested in a game? There are over 6,000 posts in the TERA megathread now, which is over 1000 more than one of the existing game forums. Obviously people are playing this game and talking about it, people who like the community here and want to discuss the game here.

    If they thought that it would benefit the site then they'd add one, it's not like they're just holding out to troll all the tera players. It would look incredibly messy and unprofessional if they added subforums for all these hyped up new games that came out and eventually calmed down rapidly.

    it's a game that had alot of hype pre-launch like Tera.. how can you not see it?

    and as has been said by 2 mods so far: if the hype holds up, they will add one

    Most of your questions can be answered here, this isn't the correct forum for game play discussions, thanks!

    Tera isn't big enough to get a dedicated subforum, we can discuss it again in a month or two if people are still super interested in the game but this is very unlikely.

    Also, the conversion from megathread to subforum isn't always that simple or easy. Megathreads usually have higher post counts because people like to use them for chat and lighter discussions. If the game can get enough attention and create enough discussion to support a full scale forum in the long run, we'll do it. This isn't the case for now.
