With the deepest character customization of any game currently on the market, Black Desert Online allows for unprecedented detail in character creation. Its intuitive controls, beautifully designed world, and extensive lore will enthrall both newcomers and veterans of MMO games and action RPGs.

Travel through the lands in search of treasure and adventure or become one of the top craftsmen in the land. Set up trade routes and breed horses or compete against other guilds in epic siege warfare.

Korean developer/publisher Pearl Abyss is giving back to its Black Desert Online community today with the 3,000 Days Campaign and a 90% off discount sale. Pearl Abyss also set up the new ‘Trials of Erethea’ challenge to reward players with the highly vaunted power accessory, the ‘Deboreka Ring’, which enhances players’ attack power and completes the ‘Deboreka’ set.

The month of May also kicks off Pearl Abyss’ efforts to deliver fresh, new PvP experiences with the above PvP trailer ahead of the revamped Node Wars and the upcoming War of the Roses update.

3,000 Day Milestone

Starting today and throughout the month, Pearl Abyss will celebrate 3,000 days of Black Desert Online service in North America and Europe (when it launched March 3, 2016) by holding six in-game and community events. It will give away Log-in and Hot-time rewards, popular items (such as 3,000 Cron Stones), and the team will hold unique participatory events, such as Playtime and Memories events. Check the Black Desert website for full details.

As an extra incentive, Pearl Abyss is offering a whopping 90% discount on the base game price of $9.99. This means new players only pay 99 cents to jump into one of the most enduring, graphically beautiful, and deep MMORPGs on the market. The sale on the Black Desert Online (BDO) site and on Steam starts today, Tuesday, May 14, and runs through Tuesday, May 21 on Steam, and on the BDO site through Wednesday, May 22, in North America and Europe. To boot, sign-ups will experience a 1000% EXP hot-time plus special log-in rewards.

Earn the Ring, Boost Your Power

The prestigious and difficult-to-acquire 'Deboreka Ring' is an endgame accessory that enhances players’ attack power and completes the ‘Deboreka’ set. By successfully passing the new 'Trial of Erethea', players will be able to loot required materials and even acquire the ring itself. When the item is enhanced to the max level (PEN), players can enjoy the AP increase +24 and Accuracy +12. Once equipped with all five of the Deboreka accessories, players will see an extra AP +8.
