    I love a free game, but not pay to win. Hard pass.

    It is EU/NA only. I am playing it from the beginning and I may say you need to spend some $$$ to play conveniently better, Weight limit, inventory slots, pets to get loot, and more. There is no MMO better than Black Desert at the moment and you may try it without buying anything. The combat system and graphics are the best, Story sux, bosses have easy mechanics and there are no dungeons.

    btw the youtube video review is too old from the release of the game, the game now is a lot different 4 years later

    I added it to my Steam account to make it look like I have more games with no intention of ever playing it.

    That is all.

    ^^^ THIS, A MILLION TIMES THIS! This isn't China we don't want this p2w crap! Do whatever you need to do to make money but the second you make it pay 2 win it's a dead platform.

    Is it actually P2W? As in has things that affect gameplay which are obtainable only by paying?

    I would say it's a lot of grinding if you don't want to pay anything. So for me, pretty much any MMORPG that offers premium content.

    Every MMORPG that has some form of econemy can be ptw, no difference if the company or some farmers stand for the transaction, beside the legal issues ofc.

    Great game! After playing for 4 years, I love the combat system, and the graphics effects are unparalleled. People like to complain that this game is a win, but this is not all about PTW. A friend of mine did not spend a penny on the game, nor did he get any PTW clothing expenses from the in-game market. From a game that can provide you with everything, this is a difficult game, because the game can make you work hard for your state and the items in the game, when you get what you have been working on You will feel real achievements. If you like fast action MMO, it will take you all day.

    P2W is not only about exclusive tiers of power. But about time too.
    Premium systems which give bit more rewards are P2W already. But generally acceptable if they are not giving too big percentage above standard.

    But systems where you can get as much as you are willing to pay for...
    Have you tries Opera browser and its VPN set as Europe / USA?

    Got the game before I realize this thread.

    Didn't even know about this until the other day I took a look at it and says it was free to download so I got the game.

    A game that I been looking into for a bit, knew about the game for quite sometime.

    It will be my upcoming game for my 4-Sli Project + Reshade, "AFTER" DSIII+Reshade.

    In about 5.5 hrs, So far: Scales under Quad Sli = EXCELLENT SCALING!

    Thanks for sharing though.
