Haven't even heard of it before now. But it's definitely very pretty

I'll definitely try it. My issue is with it being an Eastern MMORPG, they tend to be really tedious, incredibly shallow and largely unfun. I doubt that this will be different.
It'd be nice to see the visuals in action.

You are right, but what I was saying is it will be nothing compared to areas in, lets say , WoW or lotro. Will be x2 more beautiful though.
Bless does look amazing, and you shouldn't be too worried about it being a Korean game.
I have played WoW for years, and moved over to Tera (www.tera-europe.com), and will NEVER go back.
Tera has recently gone F2P as well ... so except for the download of the game, there shouldn't be too much excuse not to give it a try.
With regards to showing vast areas, how far do you want to see? Tera is also built on UE3 and you can see relatively far. One of the things you need to think about is simply the fact that when questing the views are generally going to be limited to a smallish area. Unless you are looking for another Guild Wars 2 where you need to spend half of the time looking trying to get to a viewpoint.
As for game play, Tera is not perfect. However try to think of WoW classic. There were a lot of issues back then. Blizzard has had 4 full expansions to iron out game play, and honestly I think they have dumbed down everything that you might as well get a bot and watch it level for you.
Play Tera, but get to at least level 25 with a class. I would suggest the Slayer class as it is pretty awesome and one of the easier classes to get to grips with.
I am leveling all 8 classes, I love the bonus rested experience, so I could say that even though I have played the beginning 20 levels several times and I have not found it to be boring.
Like in WoW you will kill 10 wolves at level 8, and then 10 wolves at level 30, then 10 at level 53, etc. Most of the game is just grinding. It would be a lot better if there were puzzles, and different types of quests, but there aren't many types of quests out there. If you don't like grinding, then don't play an MMO which requires it.
I had pre ordered Tera, and I have not regretted that once. I was worried when it went free to play, but so far things have gotten better. A lot more people are playing, which means that groups are easier to form.
Fun things about Tera:
BAMS -> Big Ass Monsters -> Huge boss creatures around the world that you generally need a group to kill.
Enemies -> Some of the strangest things you would have every seen.
NOTE: A lot of these games go free to play. Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Tera are two good examples. So you might not have to fork out cash to play it.

I played TERA, but while it's a solid standard MMO with all the usual things you get in MMOs these days, i simply hated the world and theme. I just can't take it seriously when the mobs are all these weird mashmallow kiddie nonsense. It's like i'm killing candy canes or something. Other than the combat system, i struggled finding anything truly interesting about TERA.
At least Aion (which is probably some sort of predecessor) had the whole flying/gliding thing, which kept me going for quite awhile, but TERA? I can't even remember there being a story.
Of course the graphics are all nice and colourful and the female characters are basically pornstars (which doesn't help the world being as childish as it is).
I'm sure there's alot of entertainment value, and their F2P model is very generous (i can't even remember seeing anything that i had to pay for), but it's just way too obvious a theme park. As sick as i am of WoW, i think WoW is better at this.
Now, i know nothing of Bless , but this is my problem with Asian MMOs, they all look amazing, they got a semi-nude females all over the place luring you in and then the gameplay is one huge mundane grind without any redeeming value. I'll have to watch some videos to make up my mind.
