Black Desert: Server offline on 23.3. – Lengthy maintenance work [Update: Extended]

In the fantasy MMORPG Black Desert, the servers will be down for extended maintenance on March 23rd.

Since 9:00 AM, the Black Desert servers have been down, and the game is inaccessible. The reason is lengthy maintenance work. It is expected to last until 5:00 PM.

For those thinking a major patch is being deployed, perhaps even the new zone Mediah, they are mistaken: This is about improving the network, increasing bandwidth, and reducing latency – effectively reducing lag. There will likely be no changes to the game itself.

Update: The maintenance has been extended by 2 hours. The servers are expected to remain down until 7:00 PM. Daum apologizes for the delay.

We recently reported on the plans Daum has for Black Desert after its successful launch in Europe and America.
