    Black Desert Launch Information Thread

    So to try to coordinate anyone here who plans to play or try out Black Desert, i'm going to take point in compiling a list.

    I plan to Roll on UNO Server NA

    Tenacious Guild from Skyforge will be rolling on EDAN.

    The Basics


    1) When do you plan to start playing, i.e. what package did you get or when you will start? (Preorder available until 26th) https://www.blackdesertonline.com/preorder/

    Dates/times are: Feb. 28th 3am EST($100 pack); March 1st, 3am EST($50 Pack); March 2nd, 3am EST ($30 pack); March 3rd, 3am EST (Full Launch and Cash shop open).

    2) Family Name & Character Name (If you have reserved one) Link here: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/sh...mereservation/

    3) Guild/Clan (if not I will be forming one)

    4) Main/Starting Class.

    I will roll on the same server as everyone else here. (apparently Orwen)
    I will join the same guild as everyone else here.

    Family Name: Valdemar
    Character: Kethry
    Server: UNO
    March 1st, unless they let me upgrade my preorder on the 28th. *Payday for me*
    Guild: Valdemar (or SacredHaven, if SH people roll on Orwen.)
    Class: Witch

    I know that Tenacious is rolling on Edan. My main reason for Orwen is that Edan looks to be getting the majority of the population, meaning queues. Additionally, I have 3-5 other friends who are planning Orwen, we are more of the casual type. Tenacious's Plans are more of the commitment PvP style and I am not ready for that. This is me personally, if you have interest in more structured PvP orientated guild, than I'd advise u to at least roll on Edan for the Chance to join Tenacious.

    For those unaware guild slots are limited, and there is no incentive for guilds to have non-dedicated/committed players, because it requires a lot of money to support a guild. Guild Members are Paid daily stipend. In order to generate that stipend it requires universal commitment. The guild system in BDO is VERY extensive. This is not to say that its impossible to be in a casual guild, just that casual guilds will not pay as well, prob 1k silver a day, which is the minimum. PvP orientated guilds will have to pay much more 7-10k per day, to start, to retain their members. Guild hopping is discouraged, there's a 24hr CD on changing guilds. Also, if you break your contract term there is a penalty generally 50% of what they where to pay you, contract periods range from 1 day to 30 days. So if your contract was 5k silver a day for 7 days, 35k, it would cost you 17,500 silver to break. You do not get paid until the end of the contract period.

    Clans are a more informal system that allows up to 15 players to have something that is purely social. These can be formed anytime no cost, guilds cost 100k to form. At the tutorial its possible to form a clan immediatly. Clans can be upgraded to a guild later but guilds can not be downgraded. If a guild runs out of money, which is generated passively daily and from daily guild quests, that require minimum of 3 members to do as a party, guild features are disabled and members can leave w/o penalty.

    Wow, I actually made it further than Zrikz during the last beta. I got to the server select screen before realizing I didn't know where everyone was playing! LOL!

    You guys have fun and if you do form a guild, you have my blessing to use Sacred Haven if you like. If clans are restricted to 15 players, you guys may need something bigger the way it sounds.

    Ashley
    Ashley's friends (how many?)
    Maus
    Rraven
    Delvar
    Kilyra
    Nightreaver
    Zorba
    Macflynn
    Helliox
    Kastin
    Jackal
    Osacian

    That's a minimum of 13 right there.

    Upgrading to a guild wont be an issue. It's completely feasible to have a casual guild.

    I have to say with this many people, we are shaping up to really be a full fledged guild. I can see us being able to do the node sieges.

    I wish I had more vacation time to take. Taking too many trips this year and my sons soccer burns time as well.

    Even though I am already playing I would try to join you guys. I will be on after work though.

    Sadly no . Not to say you cant try to login but, if you ordered it after the cut-off, 26th like 7am EST, then no.

    But you will be in in a couple days anyway Thursday 3am.

    With the server mess up they are doing away with the 24 hour character deletion time and you can reclaim your bonuses (except for the title - should be able to petition it but not a big deal to me) so Genevra and I will be rerolling on Uno. I will lose the progress that I made with my characters but well worth it to play with all of you again.

    Woot! That is awesome news. You guys know I can be a hard ass when it comes to raids, but I get super depressed when we can't all play together. And, I'm not even playing the game!!! Now my mind can be put to rest. Have fun in BDO and keep the posts coming on the forum so I have something to read.

    couldn't sleep, so I woke up early and started playing at about 6:20 this morning. Played until around 8 before I had to leave for work. I got to lvl 12, and I'm currently AFK fishing. So, hopefully I'll come home to have a good bunch of fish to sell

    On the way to work this morning, I was wondering if I should do some remote access so I can swap poles out in the middle of the day. Am I just sick? The fishing pole lasts about 4 hours from what I understand.

    Also good news for those who got screwed over by the server bug on creation. If you were affected, you will receive 10 -50%xp- 1-hour scrolls towards all xp. Good to hold on to when you hit your 50s if you ask me.
