In a statement sent directly to MMORPG.com, En Masse stated:

It is not yet known how extensive these layoffs have been.

This is not the first time layoffs have occurred at the Seattle-based publishing company. Back in 2012, more En Masse employees were laid off to “prepare for the next chapter”.

TERA is a fantasy MMORPG from South Korea. Originally released in 2011, it was “westernized” and brought to the US by En Masse and to Europe by Frogster Interactive (Gameforge) in 2012. The game’s latest major patch was on March 1st. It included new dungeons and lots of changes to class abilities.
