  Earlier today Daum games released a statement saying they have disabled Cash Shop Gifting in Black Desert Online due to abuse and credit card fraud by third parties (Gold Sellers).   This could imply that third parties had found a way to exploit the cash shop system and be charged less or even nothing to purchase items and sell them through third party websites to other players in Black Desert Online via the in-game gifting system. Until this issue is resolved it would be safe to assume in-game Cash Shop Gifting will remain disabled indefinitely.   They also mention […]

Will there be any male counterparts for Ranger, Sorceress, Valkyrie, and Tamer? It is hard to give a concrete answer to this matter because we are always trying our best to create a truly fun and innovative character, rather than copying an existing one, with a sex change. Creating the same class, but a different gender, takes almost the same amount of resources as creating a completely new class. This has changed the overall direction of class development towards creating new classes, which will provide an entirely new experience for players. Currently, there is no plan to create a male […]
