How do I make a free account?
To make a free game account, first create an En Masse account by visiting the TERA account creation page. When you create an account on this page, you will automatically be granted a free Discovery Edition (before TERA: Rising launch) or standard (after launch) game account.

If you create an account prior to TERA: Rising's launch in February, you will receive a Discovery Edition account. After the update, your account will become a standard account.

When will TERA be free?

TERA will be free starting in February 2013. The exact date has not been revealed yet and will be disclosed in the near future.
