What is the absolute CLOSEST mmorpg that we have currently (for PC) that plays like Tera? I know the console servers are still up but I play on PC and I've had the itch to play this shit for months.

Every MMORPG is just XIV/WoWslop clones these days and I'm tired of that shit. I want more action/dodge/block shit like Tera did. Please tell me there's at least one "big" one out there still worth playing that captures the exact gameplay style?

Private servers are volatile as fuck and not worth investing time into. They can shut down at the drop of a hat for whatever reason and I've had private servers do FULL character wipes for no reason.

NOT falling into this trap again

I haven't played Guild Wars 2 in years, but there's a mod that allows you to use TERA-like controls. I used it to play with a controller and it worked fairly decently.

You asked for the CLOSEST mmorpg and I promise you that you will not find closer.
If security is a concern then host the game yourself.
(It requires 96GB of RAM to run the server good luck!)

>comparing PSO2 to Tera
Not op but bro. You know damn well PSO2 is not that shit at all. It's a clunky mess and just a vehicle for spending money on gachas.

Guild Wars 2 is fucking dogshit compared to TERA, it's not action based at all, it's just tab targeting but dumbed the fuck down.
I don't know how anyone can recommend it if they've played both.

it's less a security concern and more the fact that these private servers are volatile like I said. All the hours you dump into can be lost in an instant on the whim of the server owner(s)

Is this the only private server Tera has? or is there more? I don't want to end up on some dead server with 10 people

That is the same as any online game. For the few that have stood the test of time dozens more have failed with all progress lost with them. That's just the gamble you have to take if you want to play a game on someone else's server.

Depends largely on what region you're from, what region you're willing to play on, and what patch you're aiming to play on (typically pre or post apex).

NA
Starscape - Servers are in California, Patch 100
TERA Classic - Servers in Canada, Patch 32, it's mostly vanilla but some custom content has been developed

EU
Arborea - France, Patch 100, Very customized and contains server-exclusive content not found in vanilla
Agaia - Germany, Patch 100, Heavily customized

Be mindful, one of the EU servers I believe is made up of the remnants of the Menma's TERA dev team, so a spiritual successor. (I THINK it's Arborea but don't quote me on that.)
MT was so heavily monetized that it got shut down via a C&D from Bluehole not so long ago.

For starscapefags...how's the DPS rankings looking like? I kinda want to play reaper and apparently reaper and valkyrie (used to be) amazing DPS for dungeons and raids. I also recall berserker being shit on a lot but this was ages ago and not a private server.

Give me the skinny on how things are now a days DPS wise

>>713362464 (OP)
Tera was always just a more limited Blade&Soul in terms of gameplay. It had a console release though, which made it more popular back then in the west. 1 shutdown and the other is getting slaughtered by splitting the team on 5 games and putting it on maintenance mode from what i heard.

closest game to it would probably be something like black desert because of the action combat and combos, but other than that probably something like b&s narakara maybe,

I'd say it's less of a concern if the private server offers an instant max level scroll. I guess you only save a few hours leveling but it helps to catch up to where your progress was previously.
