Thanks to MMORPG.com user Kumapon, we know that the Korean version of Black Desert Online will officially launch on July 14th utilizing megaserver technology. In addition, launch will also see a first expansion called Valencia with open world bosses, new castles, dungeons and more for level 60+ players.
Open Beta players will have their characters moved over to the new mega server when BDO officially launches on July 14th. But players with characters that exceed the character slot limit will have their highest lvl with the most progress will be moved over the the new server first. Cash shop Currency (Pearl Store Items) will be refunded. Castles and GVG will be reset.
Do you think it's likely that Daum will bring a similar game structure to NA / EU when Black Desert Online launches?
Check out the already-existing MMORPG.com thread and / or leave your thoughts in the comments. (the video below is of the new Valencia zone)
Thanks, Kumapon, for the fantastic legwork!
