The European publisher of TERA has told Eurogamer a patch will be implemented next week adding a blood detail slider to the MMO, but the blood splatter will be less pronounced than in the US version. The patch will also add the Emblems feature, which was cut before launch due to uploaded Emblems storing on a player’s hard drive. When coming across another player in the game, it would automatically store the other players Emblem obn the drive as well. Frogster considered this a “high threat in terms of security, in case someone wanted to upload a virus,” but not the system has been re-implemented and Emblems will now be stored in the client memory instead.

Starting today, those who pre-ordered TERA in Europe can now log-in and get a head start on your non-pre-ordering brethren all the way to level 38. Those in the US who pre-ordered can start playing tomorrow. If you happened to participate in the open beta events, your character will transfer over. The MMO launches in North America May 1 and in Europe on May 3.

En Masse and Blue Hole have announced TERA will launch with a new dungeon finder at launch, which helps players find groups faster as well as the classes needed to round out the instance.

When TERA launches in the west on May 1 players will be able reach level 60, according to a forum post by the game’s producer Brian Knox. because of the team’s decision to increase the level cap the dungeons will have to be reworked. “We have shuffled them around — some up and some down,” Knox wrote. “We will have more detailed information on it closer to open beta but it should create a much smoother progression to 60 as well as a good amount of content at level 60.” The open beta goes live next month.
