A successful MMORPG
Why is it one of the best MMORPGs? Black Desert not only looks great, it also offers a lot of content. In addition to quests and PvE content such as hunting monsters, you can also participate in massive PvP battles.
Furthermore, it is possible to become a craftsman and supply adventurers with equipment. All of this is very well received by players, which is reflected in both the MMORPG’s ratings and player numbers.
How well is Black Desert received? On Steam, the ratings for the past 30 days are at 81%. The overall rating is 71%. The graphics are particularly praised, and the gameplay freedom is also well received.
However, there are recurring accusations of Pay2Win, and the PvE content is not as developed. BDO is more of a sandbox and places a lot of value on PvP.
What about the player numbers? According to Steamcharts, an average of about 14,600 players played BDO simultaneously in the past 40 days. So you should find plenty of players to team up with. Generally, the player numbers are quite stable.
What does the future of the MMORPG look like? Black Desert is regularly expanded with new content. The developers published a roadmap about a month ago with the contents planned for the first half of 2020. You can expect a lot of new content to come.
Besides BDO, you can still play the following online games for free this weekend:
