When you say hack zone are we talking about Korea?Or an actual testing site called Hackzone lol.
If we are just talking about hacking in general,nobody has shown me they give a heck.It takes some planning and effort to make a game hack free,devs are simply in a rush to get their game out,they couldn't care less about what happens to the economy after it releases.
It takes a lot of player complaints before devs act,then we have a HUGE amount of these devs don't even have a decent avenue for complaints or feedback,so in other words they really don't care at all.
I have yet to see enough of BD ,i think it is a game i might have to actually play but so far it does not look promising from the videos i have watched.What i have seen is BD is ok in some areas but overall i just don't think it will have any longevity.I see an initial excitement/hype,lots of initial players ,maybe 2 million then a VERY fast drop off to a near ghost town within 3-4 months.
The ONLY game to me imo that shows ANY promise is Elyria but i am not holding my breathe until i see a lot more.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Maybe you think it's an amazing f2p because it makes money and is doing well but what is it doing? design wise it seems all over the place. Lineage 2 and Aion had better game design (if not better combat in my opinion).

I'm not disregarding or ignoring the hacking that always goes on but it's secondary in my opinion.
Translation: Hackers welcome, Community wrecked.
Its funny that even in 2015 there isnt a anti detection / hack program solid enough to catch cheaters while millions and millions are earned.
Look at Archeage.... tons of super fun features but a gear grind that relies so heavy on RNG that it makes most honest players cringe.
In a pvp game with such big of a gear diffrence its no wonder people resort to hacking or means of cheating.,
I gues the same fate will be waiting for Black Desert, i hope i am wrong but we all know how this story is going to end.
You cant catch them all, but the lack of effort to on a world wide level to combat mmo cheaters is a joke and the industry should be ashamed of themselves for not uniting against this cancer after decades of failures to wipe those hackers out.
Russians can play games which are released only in EU/NA just as well as games released in other regions. That said, they're not the ones hacking, the hackers are.
Stereotyping is bad mmkay? Hackers are a diverse bunch - There's just as many in the US as there are in Russia. Most of the hacks used in Western games are hosted on American websites even :pleased:
In fact, you might argue that because a game is released in EU/NA, it will be hacked by the EU/NA crowd, so it shouldn't be released there.
But then, hackers will just use VPN's to circumvent IP blocks, as well as stolen credit cards, so in fact you're not helping anyone with that kind of attitude. Hackers will always find a way, that's part of their core identity.
You can't prevent cheating in any game via automatic means. You do need active GM's to monitor suspicious behaviour.
Also, comparing Archeage to BDO? Totally different games man.... You may actually want to play them, or at least read up on what they actually are like ;p
Playing: WF
Played: WoW, GW2, L2, WAR, AoC, DnL (2005), GW, LotRO, EQ2, TOR, CoH (RIP), STO, TSW, TERA, EVE, ESO, BDO
Tried: EQ, UO, AO, EnB, TCoS, Fury, Ryzom, EU, DDO, TR, RF, CO, Aion, VG, DN, Vindictus, AA
All games are hackable... in fact, all are hacked each and every day. To suggest that games are any less susceptible to hacks than say, oh, I don't know, Microsoft Windows, is absurd. If anything, they are an even bigger target because they annoy even more people in the process.
To worry about something that may or may not happen is silly. Do you refuse to fly because some terrorist might fly you into a building? Do you refuse to drive because some drunk or person texting might t-bone you? Do you refuse to eat because you might get food poisoning? Paranoia is paranoia. Spreading it doesn't make it go away nor does it change the fact that life happens.
I will agree with the OP however, if they can't reign in the hacking better than AA did at launch, it will very likely impact it's success, at least here in the west.

Q: Why did Daum Games decide to set up its Western operations in Europe, and not North America?
A: It’s a bit of a long story, but to keep it simple, the EU market is more favorable to games from Korea or Asia in general. The variety of countries and cultures are also a great opportunity to have more business opportunities. We are looking forward to having players from both continents discovering and experiencing Black Desert Online!

They obviously think differently hence the "more business opportunities" comment.
And your dribble about getting the game tip top for the NA market is utter tripe lol. Oh and Asia is the biggest MMO market not NA.
Okey, I have to ask - What is this hackzone I keep hearing about.
I don't think this game would be very popular in NA/EU, since it requires a very powerful computer to run, and doesn't have a focus in PvE. But it will definatly steal a lot of players from similar games, like Archeage and Tera.
Black desert graphics are amazing, combat is also amazing, very deep trading-crafting system, very fun PvP. And the game feels more much more real than Archeage. In Archeage you can see a lot of empty places, empty roads, stationary NPC's. In Black Desert, everything feels more alive. It's Awesome. You guys should really try it.
Many dev studios would like to publish in NA/EU, but do not have the resources to do so. This is why they use third party publishers (like Trion with ArcheAge). However, the market for such publishers has gotten much smaller in the past few years. The cost of publishing/operations is also much higher in NA/EU.
Yes, that region has a massive amount of hackers / botters, you're right. That said, there are many Western-only games that have issues with those as well. It all depends on how the publisher tries to counter them.
I don't think this game will be that popular in the West just because it is likely to feature a bunch of mechanics that are not favoured here. It's not so much about botters & hackers imo.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
first...there are number of example of games released globally including hackzone...with very competitive pvp..best example is guild wars 2...and it is doing fine not hack free but it is fine.
archage failed hard because of the lack proper and strong hack wall/anti hack software..and the way the game works..i mean the system or structure of the game makes it a good medium for hacking.
secondly...90% of hackers and botters are basically gold sellers...guess who are the best customers for them..NA/EU people...this is also can be solved with changes to economy and make sure that the good stuff are obtainable from playing the game rather than buying it from the game trade center via gold or any other in game currency.
BD wont die and it will have its own player base if they change the economy and have strong hack wall...anyways archage is still alive with all hacking and everything so do not worry about BD.
