Black Desert is a newly announced Korean mmo currently in dev from PearAbyss. I haven't seen any info about it here yet so I thought I link what info there is so far. It's a sandbox game with action oriented combat system and player housing and mounted combat. There isn't a ton of info out yet but it looks like a good one to keep an eye on.
Preview trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TNtB5DoJ6OI
From Massively.com Last week we told you about a new MMO called Black Desert. There was a trailer, it was gorgeous, etc. Today we've learned a little more about the Korean import thanks to an interview at Steparu.com. http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Black-Desert/
Some details on housing from Massively.com: Curious about Black Desert's sandbox pedigree? We are too, and it looks as if the newly announced Korean import from Pearl Abyss isn't skimping when it comes to player housing. http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/09/24/black-deserts-housing-system-detailed/

Well.. not a lot of information around for this one, but what we know sounds very interessting. - Sandbox features - Territorial war - Action combat - nice graphic.. and actually a little bit more gritty than the last few ones From Asia or not, it sounds a lot more interesting then a lot of other mmorpgs out there. And it looks like the second(or third if you count EQNext to it) sandbox AAA production. I have put it on my watch list.

Originally posted by OG_Zorvan I'm having a lot of trouble overlooking that aswell. The game looks good and the concept is really good, but it's a shame it isn't being made by a western developer. |

Is this what the cool kids do nowadays, hating on eastern MMOs just for being eastern?  |

Originally posted by AdamTM Dunno, its alarming to me. Its almost like its ok to be judgemental against people who live half the world away because oh no one of the games they made you didn't like the art style in. So clearly anything they create is shite.

Originally posted by Laughing-man I mean there isn't even that much of an "eastern artstyle" in it, looks like RaiderZ and the architecture is mostly western. I mean I'm not partial to the Wizardry Online aesthetic myself, but i didn't dismiss it just because its from Korea. Can game-racism exist? |

I'm sorry, this is far from a sandbox. It has classes and you can only buy houses they put up for sale.
If you aren't actively part of the solution, you have no right to complain about anything. |

Originally posted by AdamTM Far from, it has more to do with the fact that I haven't seen a Korean MMO to date that had any real feeling of soul. They are all pretty (beautiful actually) husks, with no real sense of soul to the game. I will give the koreans this though, they know how to make graphically amazing games. But that's as far as it goes. |

Most if not all western made mmo are rubish, PvE Raid based single player with co-op mode games. Only westerners can call them MMO.

Originally posted by negativf4kk Heh I lived in Pohang for 6 years as part of my Military service. I got the chance to play many games with Koreans, and really get into their gaming culture. While I appreciate it for what it is. It is still an instant pass for me, because Korean games are made for a different type of adudience than what I enjoy. Most Korean's pay for internet access by the minuite or by the MB. Thus their games are developed with more of a grindy aspect in mind. Because grinding is the best way for them to get a sense of accomplishment in a short ammount of time. Story's and living, breathing, worlds take a lot longer to evolve, thus cost them more in connection costs. This is slowly changing as the upperclass in Korea is starting to pay a monthly fee for internet access, but by slowly changing I'm talking a snail's pace. In 5-10 years we may see Korean games with more of a western approach to games with in depth story and more of a living breathing world. But for the time being, until their internet payment models change, we will continue to see grindy type games coming out of Korea. |

Another Korean sandbox gives me some hope for the genre. It seems that the Koreans have become the trend in MMORPGs. If this is true, more and more western companies will start to look toward AAA sandboxes (EQ Next?) whereas before it was just failed attempts to out-WoW WoW.

Your opinion is no different then negativf4kk. So, again very objective. Game looks awesome by the way can't wait to try it. |

Ah, I love it. If Korean MMOs are so terrible, what does that say about western MMOs? Hm? I have no particular bias either way, as I actually play games before I assess them. As they say, to each their own. With that said, you can't tell me there hasn't been a metric shit ton of derivative, linear MMOs coming out of the west. If not, please enlighten me. Where are all of the expansive, unique MMOs by western developers? You say all Korean MMOs are a grind fest, I say all modern, western MMOs are WoW-clones (not that I think that's entirely the case). It wasn't until recently that publishers and developers have finally taken the hint that gamers want more variety when it comes to this genre. They can't just slap an IP on their themepark-with-a-twist and have it be an everlasting success. My point is, there's such a negative stigma attatched to asian MMOs, but what has the western world brought us in recent years? I say everyone has been doing a pretty poor job and things are finally start to look up. |
