From the official TERA Online community forums straight to TERAblah.com's front page:

Greetings Community,

Last week was a huge week for us as we announced our new publishing organization in the west, En Masse Entertainment. Of course a publishing name isn’t what is important, it is the people behind the name, the ones you will be interacting with on a day to day basis. Below are just a few of the people you will be seeing in the forums, the news and at different shows throughout the west.

Jason “BrotherMagneto” Mical – Community Director
Jason played his first rounds of Pac-Man on a TI-994A computer as a kid and has been addicted to gaming ever since. He’s been online since dialing into the Prodigy network in 1990, played MMOs when they were called MUDs, and he cut his professional teeth as the PR Manager at WizKids Inc. He started as a member of the HeroClix community and recognized the value and strength of people online, and made HeroClix and other WizKids games successful. Jason left to join Edelman, a public relations firm, where he specialized in digital PR - helping companies like Johnnie Walker, PUMA, Krispy Kreme and Xbox 360 recognize the value of community interaction. He’s glad to be back in the games industry with an amazing team and a great game. Follow him on Twitter: @BrotherMagneto

Evan “Scapes” Berman – Senior Community Manager
Evan began his gamer life with an Apple IIC playing memorable two-tone titles held on floppy floppies. First embarking online while ISPs still charged per minute and Geocities was MySpace, it was only natural that his love of multiplayer would later translate into a position at Flagship Studios, taking him away from advertising firm Crispin Porter + Bogusky and across the nation to join a new industry. Originally a Hellgate: London fansite operator, he used his official role of Community Manager to liaise between players and developers for the improvement of the game. Most recently, he explored the free-to-play realm, participating in the launch of THQ*ICE’s Dragonica Online and creating additional official channels of communication through MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media networks. He is elated to be a member of the En Masse Entertainment powerhouse working on an MMORPG as beautiful and immersive as TERA. Follow him on Twitter: @Scapes

Sam “Kimmander” Kim – Producer
Sam’s first entry into online multiplayer games started with Dragonrealms, leading to his everlasting love of online multiplayer games. Since Dragonrealms, Sam has played countless MMORPGs ranging from premium subscription titles to web-based microtransaction games. Sam joins the team from Riot Games and Ndoors, where he worked on titles such as League of Legends and Atlantica Online. A hardcore MMO and online player, you may catch him in WoW, Warcraft 3 (DotA), Atlantica, Dungeon & Fighter, Star Trek Online, or waiting anxiously for TERA.

David “Kawika” Noonan - Lead Writer
David lives his life as a pointed response to his parents’ claims that “you’re wasting your time playing those games.” Make no mistake: he played a lot of those games as a kid—most of them poorly. After a stint as a newspaper reporter (trenchcoat and everything!), he became a game designer at Wizards of the Coast, where he was one of the primary designers for both 3rd edition and 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons. And when the day job was done, he spent his nights running a late-night MMO raiding guild for people who want to play after they put their kids to bed. After a stint writing content for Aion, he came to En Masse, where he’s delighted to be working with creative people on both sides of the Pacific.

En Masse and TERA are now on social networks too! Become a fan on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/teraonline and http://www.facebook.com/enmasseentertainment and follow us on Twitter at @TERA_MMO and @En_Masse_Ent.

We are all very excited with this new milestone for both Bluehole and En Masse and are pumped for the journey that is about to begin.
