Guess it'd be best for me to be more upfront about the matter. Even if I've technically gone into it once before, as mentioned here: >>1872087.
Yes, my stay in TERA has been put on-hold for the time being. Had a nice long chat with those in TFTs and gave my farewells just a bit ago, although I didn't outright leave the Guild.
A combination of Classic's added input lag, spending a fair few months on Starscape prior to trialing Classic to get my TERA fix, and personal interest in seeing how a certain other action MMO has held up over the years, have since made me come to the realization that my heart simply isn't in it for this title at present.
TERA is a solid game in its own right, however, so I'm sure to swing by for another go at it in ~6-18 months time, knowing my habits. Although perhaps not on Classic, per-say, unless things are cleaned-up over there.
One Elin's departure does not prevent others for making their own great memories, however. There's still plenty to enjoy about this title no matter what server you're playing on, and I'll still be lurking here to see how things play out.

>[Starscape is] just ported v100 retail with no changes.
Not quite. There've been a few QoL changes made to the v100.2 formula, namely the removal of item degradation/destruction upon failing an Enchant, premium currency occasionally being dropped from BAMs, etc, etc.
You're mostly right though. Out of all the private servers available for TERA, Starscape is the most vanilla of the bunch, for good or ill. A fantastic time capsule to visit without a doubt, but MMOs in general seldom take well to being knowingly "finished".
As someone who had effectively never spent much time in TERA prior to stumbling across Starscape, I was content in playing what amounted to a brand-new MMO for me to get invested in. For veterans of this title, however, I do question how appealing going back to nearly plain-jane v100.2 could really be, outside of a quick lark.
