In the forum of Black Desert, the developers answered numerous questions from fans. Will there be male versions of all classes? Will there be more races?
Genderlock remains, new races may come
In the official Black Desert Forum, numerous fan questions regarding the game, which will be released soon, have been answered. In the thread, some users complain that mainly already known statements were repeated, but the justifications are often very detailed, contributing to the understanding of the respective situation. We have extracted and translated the most exciting answers and explanations for you.
Will there be male counterparts for Ranger, Sorceress, Valkyrie, and Tamer?
Stays firmly in female hands – the Ranger.
Currently, there are no concrete plans to design male counterparts for the purely female classes. The workload for such an implementation would be almost as great as developing a completely new class – something like that would be significantly more likely. However, they do not want to completely rule out the possibility – this also depends on how player interest develops.
Will there be additional races to choose from?
The situation is different when it comes to choosing races. The developers are already planning to add new races to the game. However, it must be realized that the most probable addition is a race that already exists in the game. The developers are currently considering the introduction of a Shai race as a playable character, but a final decision has not yet been made internally.

More land area and region-dependent items
It is also worth mentioning that the developers of Black Desert want to add many new areas to the game, which are currently covered by fog on the map, especially the south of Calpheon, Mediah, and parts of Valencia. These zones are already in development but are not just intended to expand the game with new creatures and loot, but also to change the way of playing. For the Valencia III update, they want to focus on water bodies and highlight trade via shipping routes or resource gathering in wet areas.
The developers at Daum have definitely recognized that different regions (Korea, EU, US) have different preferences when playing, which is why the PvP system will differ slightly from that in Korea. The developers promise that if players in America or Europe want specific content, they should provide corresponding feedback – it would definitely be feasible.
Mobile app to manage workers
One question wanted to find out whether a mobile app is being developed for the future, with which you can monitor and manage the storage or the workers. The developers are open to such requests but want to ensure that players of Black Desert in all regions are satisfied first. “We do not believe that Black Desert is perfect yet.” Therefore, such a feature is unlikely to be expected in the near future.
Legendary quest lines – Will they come?
They have also commented on the desire for particularly challenging and rewarding quest lines, which are often called “legendary” quest lines in other games. The developers are clearly against such tasks because they do not want to see players feeling compelled to complete a certain quest to keep up with other players. Moreover, legendary quest lines are only truly legendary for a very short moment: until someone has designed a guide for them.
Quests in Black Desert are meant to expand the game and provide incentives to explore the vast areas without restricting players too much. However, they do not exclude the possibility that “difficult” quests could be added – although there is no concrete information about the release yet.
