You can also shell out €4.95 for a preorder edition, which gives you access to the betas and will count towards your full purchase.
I don't know sub prices, if someone points them out in the thread then I'll add them here.

4chan FAQ

- EU website redirects NA users to the EME site. To get around this: https://account.tera-europe.com
- We are not going to get additional character creation options before launch, stop asking. If this ever comes, it will come in a major content update down the line. En Masse has heard our feedback, and this is their response.
- I keep seeing the word "refresh" come up in threads. What is wrong with you, install this: 4chan X
