En Masse Entertainment has today announced a new trial version for those wanting a taste of the action-orientated MMO, TERA, without purchasing the game.

Offering a seven-day trial, players who take up on the offer will be limited to eight characters and a level cap of 23. There are also your usual restrictions on chat and trading, but it seems for the most part the trial offers a great way to experience the world of TERA without paying a cent.

“We are thrilled that the unique experience of TERA’s true action MMO gameplay is resonating so strongly with our players,” said Chris Lee, vice president of publishing at En Masse Entertainment. “Now we want to open up to new players curious about the game with a free one-week TERA trial, as we’re confident if you play, you will stay.”

En Masse Entertainment has also revealed some interesting facts and figures from the first week of play since TERA's launch:

Players have killed nearly 22 million (21,986,108 to be exact) of the game’s signature BAMs (big-ass monsters).

TERA players have traveled a total distance of more than 227,328,053 miles in the game. That’s far enough to walk to Mars.

Players stick around to savor their action experience, averaging nearly 4.5 hours daily per player. That’s more time than the average American spends watching TV each day.
