Though Tera is not a great game in itself, due for the most part to uninspired quest content, it has set a new standard for MMO combat, a feature that has allowed those who have played Tera to overlook dull questing and stay invested on the game. With Teras escalating popularity and how combat alone pulled an otherwise bad mmo into stardom, game developers are soon likely to follow in its footsteps and MMOs are bound to get far more active, action-wise. But what about the MMOs already out there such as World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings online, even the newly arrived Star Wars The Old Republic; would developers be able to, somehow, redesign their games to meet the new standards of action and combat?. Certainly in the game developers have observed and known how fast the industry is evolving and must have known that there would be a point where such games would need to be modified. Or was it always expected for MMOs to have a limited life span?
