Anyone willing to translate it?
What I doscovered is that there will be NO IP RESTRICTION IN RUSSIA!!
and that they want more hardcore PvP - as in more dropped items and cash shop will have fluff items only (no P2W)
Expected Russian beta - January 2015
I think I actually spent way more time reading and theorycrafting about MMOs than playing them
UPDATED with the ending FAQ list:
- No initial IP Block
- Unlimited Siege Numbers
- Open World PvP with Karma System
and many many more ...
First off, there will be no localization of the game; meaning the Russian Black Desert will be the same as the Korean version. A notable feature of Black Desert was the Oculus rift support, Gamenet has stated Oculus Rift support will rely on how the development process goes.
Moving onto the in-game features Gamenet has currently declared; Player versus Player in the Arena will not be rewarding, stated by Gamenet. During PvP engagements players will lose items upon death, such as “Black Stones;” hopefully providing the risk and thrill our PvP oriented playerbase is desperately striving for. There will be both PvP servers, as well as PvE servers.
As for the specifics! Gamenet has made it very clear there will be no toleration for bots and hackers; they’ve also made it precedent that their Game Masters will be top notch regarding these delicate matters. There will be no IP block, shared by Gamenet. The amount of servers is going to depend on their playerbase. The most surprising information shared is the game will be free to play, but if the community wants, there will be separate pay to play servers. That being said, Gamenet has insisted the game will not be pay to win. Closed Beta will be in December, 2014; the release will be January, 2015.
Ok unnoficial english client and here we go, playing black desert in 2015 yeeey!

Signing up right NOW!
Different tastes.
Koreans, Russians and eastern europeans are less casual and carebear than NA average player.
Has nothing to do with translation.

The main reason why most SEA games have such a hard time coming to NA is that the NA publishers have crazy financial expectations, are greedy and want to change the games for the US market which most of the time does not sit well with Asian publishers/developers.
I totally agree with you. I never said its a good thing to not change it. I merely pointed out that the changing and the silly expectations of western publishers are preventing or delaying most releases.

Not the translation.
"Its better to look ugly and win than pretty and lose"
I agree with this.
roadmap on the russian publisher:
CBT in November, 2014
OBT in January, 2015 (3 months after korean OBT)
OBT date might be postponed due to korean OBT delay
Lineage 2 exploded in Russia after it was pretty much done in NA. It seems that there is a large market in Russia for Korean MMOs
I played Lineage 2 and it was pretty popular at the time, maybe that somehow changed?
Most likely. Ant translation has nothing to do with it since most players dont care about quests, and if they do they are too casual.
