Upcoming MMO TERA has entered into a partnership with Crisp Technology in order to reduce the threat of gold farmers, spam bots, griefing, power levelling, and phishing attacks.

Describing how they plan to combat these common MMO issues, COO of publisher En Masse Entertainment, Patrick Wyatt said: “The Crisp Platform automates many of the functions of human moderators, which allows our live team to spend their time moderating serious issues and helping players,” as reported by Gamasutra.

“MMOs are judged by how well they deliver a compelling gameplay experience. A crucial element is how well they respond to and deal with anti-social behaviour and threats such as gold farming, griefing and spamming – unchecked, these threats can destroy even the most popular online games.”

TERA will be released to Europe and North America in Spring of 2012.
