Updated Info - Feb 2013
Game is Free to Play as of February 5th 2013. You can see details and the 3 tiers of customer account you can have in the FAQ bellow. The TLDR version is that it seem like a sweet deal, with no content removed for free to play players and they added more convenience features for subscribers.
Also, here's a Free to play announcement trailer:

======================
I used the search function but I was unable to find any threads on this, but one that is over a year old.
So, anyone interested in this? They had their first Closed Beta Test for the North American release last weekend and so far, I've been reading a lot of positive comments about it. Closed Beta is available to anyone that pre-orders so I decided to head to their official site and place my order (also available through Amazon) so I can get into the next CB Weekend and test it myself.
So, what is TERA?
TERA is a Korean ACTION MMO and what makes it different from our regular MMOs is that combat is similar to something like Monster Hunter, Phantasy Star Online or even DCUO. So there's no targeting and casting spells/abilities like other MMOs. You are actively dodging attacks, aiming spells, etc.
Korean MMO, huh? The grind... I'm out of here!
Well, the game is being brought to NA and EU by En Masse Entertainment and among their ranks of developers, are several western veterans that worked for Blizzard and other big studios. They are "westernizing" the game and so far, based on the first beta weekend's reports, there doesn't seem to have a grind at all. I'll have to see for myself though.

Release Dates
NA: May 1 2012
EU: May 3 2012

There are ton of new videos since the first Close Beta event this last weekend. Gameplay and Graphics look amazing in my opinion.
