Play Tera For Free?

After an earthquake and a hurricane all in one week you'd think I'd pretty much seen it all. Wrong! That's right, if you make enough gold it will be very possible to avoid your subscription fee in Tera thanks to the implementation of chronoscrolls. In an effort to deter gold-farmers in their upcoming MMO, En Masse has announced they will be offering chronoscrolls as a way for players to legally buy gold. Players will be able to purchase these scrolls from En Masse with real money and then sell them for in game gold to other players who will be able to convert them into more play time. Essentially this allows any player who wants to buy gold the ability to do so in a legal way that also completely avoids supporting gold farmers. The downside is that you will have to find players that are willing to pay you for these scrolls and the price they're willing to pay could vary dramatically depending on certain circumstances (your server's current supply & demand).

What are chronoscrolls?

Tera's COO Pat Wyatt tells us, "Chronoscrolls are an in-game item we’re using to fight gold farming, game account theft, phishing, chat spam, and other criminal behaviors in order to create a better gameplay environment for TERA. Players can trade their excess gold for chronoscrolls and redeem those chronoscrolls to play TERA for free"
