In 2008, Blue Hole Studio made public its MMORPG project S 1 (later TERA) using unreal engine 3, which attracted much attention. However, NCsoft believes that TERA illegally used the source code of its heaven 3 project for research and development, which triggered a copyright dispute that lasted for four years, and TERA also faced a decline in popularity.
