There is an upcoming korean MMO (of course it's korean). It is called Black Desert.
Apparently, the developer Pearl Abyss promises an entire world, and judging from the second trailer, the world is massive. Publisher (or at least for Korea), is Daum Communications.

Spoiler

The cities are faaaaantastic, populated by so many NPCs the world really does feel alive.
It's real-action combat, not like WoW, more like TERA Online. There will be player homes inside cities. There will be sieges as well.
The game looks stunning, and the character creation... well, see for yourself and stay speechless for the rest of your life. However, in the BETA, character creation is quite limited because reasons.

Spoiler

Currently, there are four classes and more will be introduced. Currently present are some Knight, Archer, Sorcerer (like you've never seen before) and some Berserker. 
Two other classes I know of are Valkyre and Beast Tamer (both sound sweet as candy). I've spotted 3 playable races, Human, Elf, Giant.
First BETA has come and gone, and signups for the second BETA round are in progress, this one aiming to test the strain on the servers, so there's a high chance you might get in.

It will be a Free2Play model.

Be warned, as the game's minimal requirements are in the level of i3 processors, 4 gigs of ram, and nVidia 500 series graphics cards.

Oh yeah, I watched a bit of the Archer gameplay a long time ago, this seems like a good skill based game ^^

 

Minimum requirements are that big...? Does that mean that it will run only on about 10-20 FPS with minimal graphical settings with that setup...? Well, luckily I'm going to upgrade soon ^^

 

But I remember you having quite low end computer, Will-san, or have you already upgraded....? ^^

I've had my eye on this since before it went alpha. But there isn't any reason to hype it up, since we'll never see it.

 

Also. you can almost always go below the devs recommended spec.

Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K, 3.40GHz, Haswell (most bang for the buck, overclocked)

I guess that it's time for you to say goodbye to your loyal partner after this beauty arrives, hahaha ^^

New video is out. It's a flyby of the world.

I have only one reaction to what I've seen.

 

 

Here, see for yourself. Secure your jaws, folks.

[LightYami]

Wow, that sure looks beautiful ^^

[Will of NGE]

The world looks massive. Towns, villages, camps, roads... they all look and feel alive...

They'll also have day/night cycles, and NPCs will act accordingly.

An article bringing great news to western worlds

[dissident]

I've kept an eye on this game for a while, it looks awesome. I hope they can release it soon, they will have quite a bit of competition if they take too long.

[Hoodsome]

[Vyserius]

Anyone have any news on the game (looks gorgeous), the last think i read was that CBT 3 was going to start at the end of august.

[Will of NGE]

Some tidbits. Swimming and limited diving will be implemented, two new cities Media and something else won't be in CBT 3, there was some class talk I don't remember...

Let me see if I can find it...

Thanks for the reply, now i have to go on a quest to look for a way to enter CBT 3 .

[Will of NGE]

I think CBT 3 will be IP blocked. Usually it's only those who have korean ID or social number or something, this time it will be IP blocked.

[Little Yuri]

I'm waiting for this game myself..

Didn't know we had a bdesert topic here, awesome.

Here's another good bdesert page https://www.facebook.com/blackdesert2p

 

I posted a link to a larger one in the first post. Probably when I was looking for a Facebook page so I joined the bigger one.

Both are posting the same info, just with different frequency. I'll link both of them.
