Used to be a great game, until its greedy creators started charging FIFTEEN DOLLARS A MONTH for it. Use this money on a real MMORPG with graphics. Games like Terris should be free, donation based, or one-time membership fee at the most. NOT FIFTEEN FRIGGIN DOLLARS A MONTH.
Terris had 600+ people on at a time when it was free, now during peak hours you're lucky to see 40 people. These people are addicts and can't give it up, that's the only reason they stay.
They don't use real customer service but instead insist on 100% always roleplaying and thus think they are actual GODS (even in customer service queries). So you have to bow and be polite or you get a smite or something.
The good part? Aside from the staff and the money they rob from you, this game is quite possibly one of the best games ever written in concept. The story, the descriptions, the monsters, the items, the places, everything about it is exactly as a traditional Sword/Sorcery RPG should be. The community complemented this well in the past when everyone would roleplay and you felt like you were immersed in a realm of fantasy. Now you are paying $15 a month to sit in a ghost town.
My suggestion - OGC Staff/Creators - stop charging an obscene amount. Allow donations, freeplay, or a one-time membership fee (like buying a computer game) of $20-40 or something.
Make no mistake, Terris is by far the best game a game can be in text form, and the world itself will draw you in like butter. However, it is not worth what you pay, and the staff are socially inept and have the worst online bully complex you'll ever see.
If you're a millionaire, play it. If $15/mo matters, spend it on something worth it.
