Blue Hole Studios has patched the North American and European versions of TERA. Both patches contain a fix to the MMO’s political system, allowing guild leaders who are level 50 to run for office, with election results posted on May 23. The patch on the European end also adds a slider in the options menu that allows you to display blood effects when slaying monsters. Patch notes for the US are here, and patch notes for Europe are here.

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.

In response to a wave of fan criticism, Tera’s publisher Frogster Interactive has posted a response clarifying the changes that have been made for the games European release.

En Masse and Blue Hole Studios has released the fourth installment in its TERA’s race video series, and this time the focus is on the High Elves. Apparently, the race has a motto: “We believe. We remember.” Sounds slightly sinister, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s just us. The video shows a bevy of in-game footage, along with a few slow-mo battle moves so you can get a better idea of the prowess of the race. It’s also rather pretty. TERA goes live on May 1 and head start information can be found through here. The final closed beta weekend begins today.
