After complaints from fans, the decision was made to launch a cash shop for Black Desert.
Yesterday, a timeline was announced for Black Desert leading up to the release. Notably, the cash shop will not be active at the game’s launch, but rather nearly two weeks later. However, players will already be able to make purchases during the second beta phase. All items that will later be available in the cash shop will be accessible during the second test, it was stated.

An odd decision.
Players said: If I’m spending money in the cash shop, I might as well do it at the launch and not two weeks later. If I buy, I want to make my way to the maximum level a bit easier with some small items. Favorites for purchase include, as can be seen from comments, especially increased carrying capacity and pets that assist with looting, as well as some costumes that simply make you look more stylish.
Now Daum has reacted, changing the timeline: the cash shop will now be available at launch. Some players still point out: We will be starting without the cash shop during the head start, but overall it is viewed positively, as “The developers are listening to us.”
Here’s a look at costumes from the Korean version of the game. A look at the western selection will be available starting tomorrow morning at 9 AM when the beta for Black Desert begins. The preload is already running.
