I was mildly interested in this until I read the payment model summary (apparently it's fairly complicated but breaks down like this ). And confirmed for the NA release.

Edit , and now I'm back on it due to my stupidity being pointed out by gog (thanks ) , this is for Black Gold. Snail Games publishing (Age of Wushu etc )

"The gist of it is that you won't be getting your good loot when you play; instead, your loot will go into a "save file" for optional cash purchase later on. The system holds back rare materials and premium equipment, giving you the chance to purchase the past one, two, four, or six hours of accumulated goods. You can also gamble to try to lower the cost of the purchased save."

Sounds a bit like paying by the hour almost with a gambling charge mixed in.

Quite possibly the worst F2P model I've heard of yet.

You just looted the purple sword of awesomneness.

That will be 8.99 please.

Well that sounds awful.

Edit: You've mixed the games up, that's forBlack Gold.
Thanks , got crossed on the articles , leaving the details there just so folks can see the horrifying models that some publishers are going with.

Apparently it's working well in Asia for some , so SNAIL games is publishing Black Gold with that model here.

Let's hope it never takes off here.

Makes SWTOR's F2P model look peachy in comparison.

Interview from gamescon, didnt see it posted.http://www.black-desert.com/intervie...h-pearl-abyss/

leveling time isnt final but

"Even though we haven't finalized the levelling curve in our Game, I can tell you that the estimate from level 1 to 50 is around200 real hours. Afterwards the curve becomes steep and reaching the final level will require a similar amount of time as in the old Lineage days. But as I said, we haven't finalized it yet and I can't give you a concrete answer of what the level cap might be.."


After reading this I am drooling all over my keyboard at what this game could mean to the MMO scene.

Have they put any wild ballpark figure on NA release or NA fairly open beta ? After FF ARR , this and ArcheAge are really the only things in the next year or so I'm looking forward to. (Who knows what EQN will be , but that too ).

I get the feeling this game is more vapory than it looks from the videos.

Check out their 'jobs' section. It's a forum.http://www.black-desert.com/forums/1....html?82cabf67

"We'll maybe pay you when we're big enough" == "we have no money"

I've yet to play one korean MMO that held my attention for over a couple hours so maybe I'm just jaded.
http://www.black-desert.com/

Is a fansite, not the official page. Giant anime avatar and signature of the admin kind of gives that away too. I get being jaded, but damning a game based on the economy of its fan sites is maybe a bit overboard

Not sure there is an actual website yet. I tried looking and found this

http://www.blackdeserthq.com/forums/....php?t=1127314

Looks like the teaser website is officially up! This address was link on the Facebook page of Pearl Abyss by users ??? and Kim Hyun-Jin. It looks like a mobile optimized address.

http://m.black.daum.net/teaser/

No word yet if this is the promise website that we been hearing about. There's a brand new video (very short) and a dozen or so hd screen shots which I found more impressive. You can see some of the customization that players will be able to do. The video shows off some of the classes in a mini battle montage. There's an extra page called "Theme 2" which doesn't appear to be finished yet.

The 5th page lets you input your phone number to receive updates. And the last page allows you to leave a comment.

Looks like they are going the GW2 route for PVE content, and making everyone 'responsible for their own survival'... So no healers. Too bad it makes combat a cluster fuck. Also, no stealth class.

Open world PVP with dropped loot of some kind, though not weapons or armor. I imagine its stuff contained in bags/gold only. Territory control/ castle sieges are in.

There is also mention of instanced dungeons and a localized economy & resource system a la EVE. Also looks like some kind of EVE-like automated timed travel between waypoints.

Can buy NPC workers and set them to automatically complete tasks for you. Ex. Gathering.
