Bluehole Studio unveiled "making of" film for its highly anticipated and controversial Massively Multiplayer Role-Playing Game, TERA, in Korea before its 3rd Closed Beta Test. The film contains scenes of developing processes from concept arts, scenario, character creation to actual gameplay.  It looks like they excluded the part of development that showed the Watergate-Style tactics of obtaining the code from NCsoft.

TERA already secured its powerful publishing partners: it will be operated in Korea by NHN Hangame and in Japan by NHN Japan within the first half of 2010.

Bluehole Studio established a representative office in the United States of America and launched a teaser site (http://www.tera-online.com) in 2009 so it looks like they will self-publish the game in the USA.

Bluehole Studio spent 3 years and 32 billion Won (US$ 24 million) on developing TERA that matches with console game graphic quality and ground-breaking non-targeting gameplay system. 

Basically Lineage 3, the game is ripe with great graphics and well designed combat.  This will probably be the highest quality free to play mmorpg ever released.

Over the last 2 years Bluehole has grown into a world class company, and it is partially owned by international venture capitals who share this bold vision, such as Altos Ventures (www.altosventures.com) based in Silicon Valley, California.

MMORPG Grand Chase is getting an all new skill tree for Amy, the 7th character in the game, along with a new dungeon - Victor's Fortress - and Jin's new 4th job, Rama. Amy's Skill Tree and the new dungeon launch tomorrow, while Jin's new job is already available in the popular online action-brawler MMO, Grand Chase.  Players can visit http://grandchase.ntreev.net to check out the game.

"Amy is one of the favorites among Grand Chase players, and Amy's Skill Tree has been the most requested feature for the past two months," said Chris Lee, CEO at Ntreev USA. These new additions are what fans are waiting for and we are happy to give them something exciting like the skill tree and new skill attacks."

Amy's Skill Tree and Special Events
Amy, the 7th character of Grand Chase and a fan favorite is getting her own Skill Tree! Skill Trees are "upgrades" for jobs and characters that allow for new and different skills to be used to revamp the character and/or job. To celebrate the release of the new Skill Tree, starting tomorrow, February 24th through March 9th, there will be special limited items on sale and Amy will receive an extra boost when playing with others in the same dungeon, in addition to free Amy giveaway items!

Victor's Fortress
The Grand Chase, having arrived at the new dungeon named, Victor's Fortress, finds the Black Knights Soldiers armed with strong powers of darkness and equipment. While everybody is embarrassed to find the leader is Victor, who used to be the head of Silver Knights, Jin bursts into a rage at the fact that Victor has been behind the fall of Silver Knights and all the incidents so far!

Jin's 4th Job: Rama
Warriors - like the Warrior traitor Victor - able to achieve a heightened state of consciousness were called Ramas. Together with
the Grand Chase, Jin defeated Victor, who had once been Jin's master, at his castle. Rama's characteristics feature a more intense Burning mode and evasive moves as well as strengthened Chi. Charging his Chi while performing one of Rama's specials, will produce even greater results.

Rama can also change his stance, a skill unique to this job, allowing for continuous combos and a wide display of excellent offensive and defensive techniques. One does not become a Rama through simple training alone, rather only those whose mind and body become one can attain a new level of consciousness.

Players must attain Level 40 and complete the 3rd job change mission to begin the following Rama Mission. The mission scroll is available as a GP or Cash Scroll. Jin's 4th job skills include four exciting basic attacks and three compelling burning modes.

About Grand Chase
Grand Chase is an online action brawler set in a medieval fantasy world. It follows the story of a few brave young knights who join a group of nobles known as the "Grand Chase" to defeat an evil usurper to the throne, a villainess known as Kaze'aze.
