While there is no TERA 2, Krafton has been working mad hard (that’s a joke) on the Elin Valkyrie. Why Elin and why not an actual newly designed class? The answer to this should be self-explanatory. Creating an actual new class with new skills = more production work (graphics design, animations) + coding + testing. All of that costs money. ROI given the downtrending metrics does not compute.
Elin race = biggest seller for cosmetics. The production work requires minor tweaks to animations (so much less costs and people resources involved). Higher ROI by comparison.

If Krafton wanted to make easy money, they really should just create an Elin Online game (it will be niche but they would rake in ridiculous sums of money). They could even code name it Project (E)lin X (A)rborea
