Bluehole Studios announced TERA as the final name of Project S1 in May 2008 and released some images of their project. Players saw the amazing graphics and exciting non-targeting combat system. Since Bluehole Studios was founded by ex-Lineage 3 developers, NCsoft claimed that TERA had stolen Lineage 3's source code.
