Elections delayed

    One of the most exciting features in Tera is undoubtedly the political system. Running a promotional campaign, being elected by popular vote or by dominating battlegrounds and finally becoming the ruler of one of the 15 provinces might be the goal of many guilds. Who has not dreamed of proudly crossing Arborea mounted on a Vanarch horse followed by a dozen guildies?

    The first election was supposed to be on 9th of May. Some guilds, like «Whitestar» and «The Crimson Eye», had already planned their campaign and announced it on the forums. However, a few hours later, Raven declared that the political system would be delayed:

As it is written in our news, we'll announce the date in advance before the system will be activated and we'll stick to this. We'll have more news on that in the next couple of days. So the system will be activated after our announcement, so you can prepare yourself.

    How does our community respond to this? Are you disappointed or do you think the delay is a good opportunity to prepare yourself better?

    Sam, the leader of «Outlaw», was expecting the delay and isn't bothered by it. He believes it will give less known guilds some time to build a reputation and for small guilds to gather the resources they need to run in the election.« It will give us some time to see how the economy works» he says.

His opinion is shared by Sonho, the guildleader of «Curleh Mustache», he only deplores that the date hasn't been changed ingame.

Sylver, the leader of «The Crimson Eye», is ambivalent towards the change:

«It is quite annoying since we were expecting it and were making plans for this period, although the plans we had were kind of rushed. So it might have been a good thing so we can prepare better next time!»

    We know now that the voting stage of the first election will start on 23rd of May but we do not know who will be the favourite candidate on Samael. Only one thing is certain: Samael News will follow the election closely and share all information and scoops about it!
