The Asia MMORPG Black Desert will go into Headstart on February 28th. Before that, there will be a few announcements.
Originally, Black Desert planned to start with 2 servers in the USA and 2 in Europe. Due to the “incredible growth” in the player base, this has been increased to 3 each. This was announced the night before the first Headstart. Each server will have 9 channels, 7 of which will be open.
The EU servers are named Croxus, Jordine, and Alustine. Jordine and Alustine were planned, Croxus is now new in the mix.
By the way, Daum is ready to intervene in the feared “bottleneck” with the Imps when necessary if players get stuck again. In the Beta, these were always horribly over-farmed quest areas, right at the beginning.
The patch that players have to download before the start of the servers is said to be approximately 700 MB in size.
Costume Price Reduced
The price of complete costumes with weapons in the cash shop has been reduced. There has been a heated discussion about this. It goes down from 3200 pearls (32€) to 2900 pearls (29€). Skeptics already say: They only did this so that no one can say a costume is more expensive than the game itself.
From March 3rd to March 14th, the price will be reduced to 2500 pearls. This allows buyers of a Conqueror package to take advantage of their 2,500 pearls. During this time, pets will also be 20% cheaper. Headstarters should perhaps wait with purchases until the release.
As a “last-minute change,” a relatively complex loot system for groups has been added. This comes fresh from the Korean servers. Players can either roll for an item or auction it off in a sort of auction.
When does Black Desert start? At what time does it go live?
For owners of the large package, it starts on Sunday, February 28th, at 9:00 AM our time. You can read the remaining times here.
