The Black Desert Online site has been updated with a new post from the development team to let the community know that game servers will be brought down on April 25th to being the migration to a new service provider, Level 3 Communications. In addition, there are plans to "implement upgrades to systems". Two other carriers will also be in place for support along with new security measures to help mitigate DDoS attacks.
We expect this process to take approximately 10 hours. As the migration process is quite involved, there will be no patch applied on Wednesday April 25th. Instead, the game patch update will occur on Thursday April 26th.
Our goal is to increase the overall connection stability experienced by players for both Europe and North America regions. Measures were taken with the North America servers due to the inordinately high number of incidents causing disruptions to our service. We intend to apply further measures in the future in a manner that permits our team sufficient time to monitor and analyze the effects of these changes.
