In the fantasy MMORPG Black Desert, a Gamemaster invited players to a dangerous event: He sent players to Margoria.
It has become a rarity in MMORPGs; it used to happen more often: Employees of the development studio use their skills as Gamemasters to organize planned or spontaneous events and little special features. This brings variety and magic to the gaming world, away from the beaten paths of grinding and quests.
Last week, it happened in Black Desert: With “Margoria,” the ocean update went live, which players had been waiting for since Gamescom. As adventurers report, a Gamemaster put players on a boat. Then they set out on a ship voyage.
The atmosphere during the crossing was, as can be gathered from videos and accounts, joyful. No one knew exactly what was happening. Most found it exciting and cool. The Gamemaster unleashed ghost ships, sea monsters, and pirates on the adventurers. It is known: Not everyone survives their journey.
This screen is likely to go down in history as a particularly beautiful moment, which we found in the comments of a US site:
“Player: Captain, I’ve been sunk by the boat!”
“Gamemaster: We will never forget you!”
The present is adventurous at Black Desert. But what will the future bring?
