Yes I do know this game is not for everyone, that you can say to pretty much every game that has been made for the past 30 years.
For me I feel for the first time in many years a game I can enjoy in my own pace, I don't really have to bumrush to 50 to enjoy the game, I don't have to do this or that to compete, I don't have to run dungeons and raids to get items that will get obsolete anyway in the next x-pack.
I can play how I like, I have as of now built my own noble wagon, a fishing boat, doing allot of cooking for personal use and selling, I craft weapon and armour to sell, I decorate my home, I farm mobs when I feel like it and I do quests when I feel like it.
I love the mini games with conversations yes even the cow, there is so much for me to enjoy I really don't feel I have to follow a set pattern, I play how I like.
And with the cash shop, no I haven't paid a cent in that shop and I don't really feel like at this time doing so, sure perhaps in the future if there are items that seems interesting then I might buy it.
And the best part, It's buy to play with this massive feature list for just buying the game with expansions for free I'm all set for the rest of the year and beyond.

I play mmorpgs since 1999 with EQ (Kunark) and since then I never encountered a game that would make me happily log everyday as BDO does.
I could've sold it for 1.5kk :V but i'm rich i don't need money /o/
People are enjoying making the boats, not just being given one or buying one.
Nobody cares about servers dying down. In your previous post you asked what happened?
It's quite obvious.
All the people who couldn't adjust their way of playing/thinking or who don't like sandboxes, open world pvp or complex systems went back to their themepark gear and dungeon treadmills waiting for the next big MMO to launch that they will again leave in time for the next WoW expansion.
There's nothing wrong with that. The people left in BDO want to be there. It's a lot less toxic and contested now.
I've even seen people threatening physical harm to each other..over a game. Channel chat is full of a bunch of annoying muppets with nothing better to do than spam stupid pointless crap like one guy who wanted to talk about how poop water splashed his balls. If someone asks a valid question they are met with yo mamma jokes...a few guys tried to recruit for a white supremacy guild. All this within the last few days.
I would rather deal with gold seller spam tbh. To top all that off they want to add voice chat which im sure will be filled with nothing but "the most annoying sounds ever", burping, farting and sqeakers.
I currently like the game but you aren't gonna see me shill blindly for it. Maybe someday it might have a decent community but that time is not now.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say your first mmo ever was....ummmm WoW? You must have a real high tollerance for bullshit. You would have to if you grew up in that game. I don't. I'm old and cranky and can't be bothered with it so a turn off chat and play in silence.
I 100% agree with the above.
That said, its an OWPvP game, what exactly did anyone expect???
The worst in PvP players from prior OWPvP games like AA, EVE, Mortal Online, Darkfall, etc., have all converged on this game making BDO one of the worst of all MMORPG communities. Kano's post regarding thinning servers is correct. But his reason for why they are thinning is far from correct, but he won't tell you the truth because it goes against his agenda. He will blame on world bosses and "faceroll" PvE, and repetition and never mention the real truth why BDO is failing. I, however, will not hesitate to tell you the truth ... and that reason is OWPvP and its rude and obnoxious fail communities!
This is nothing new people.
As I've stated before, BDO will go down in flames for the same reason all of these OWPvP games have gone down in flames. There is a battle raging on the BDO forums since the game began with PvE voices, 50% of the BDO community, screaming to be heard that have gone largely ignored by Daum, and it will be their undoing. The state of their forum brings us back to the above post, and ironically matches Kano's post regarding dying servers ...
OWPvP and the rude, toxic and obnoxious PvP-centric nature of BDO and the fail communities it breeds will kill the BDO!
It's already happening. Like many of the games featuring the same fail OWPvP formula of the past, the PvE community is beginning to make their exit from BDO, and that is largely the result of what we are seeing with their thinning servers. The servers will pick up again for a bit after every new patch release but they will quickly die out soon after because why? ... Because OWPvP happened, along with the fail communities they breed. BDO is going down in flames just like the rest of the games that have focus featured on this "OWPvP after a set level" fail MMORPG game play concept that has been plaguing the MMORPG genre for the past several years.
Some of you, and especially the pro OWPvP-centric among us, may not like what I am saying, but mark this post, for I speak the truth.
It's just a matter of time people. Wait for it, because sure as flies on shit ... it's coming.
BDO is no different from any other mainstream title in that regard.
Do you guys know of a smith that is close to the water? Could be that there is only one smith in the whole world equipped to repair ship?

I agree with you guys (@Jean-Luc_Picard and @LacedOpium). This is one of the few gripes I have with the game so far.
Also, the community can go from decent enough to lowest of the low in a matter of seconds... I really need to get myself a good guild to disable General Chat completely..

The forums are a different story, lots of hostility there over the PvE/PvP battle and it won't change till a large exodus happens; which I see coming due to the fact that the hostiles are calling for a large group of players "to just leave then" and Daum does not seem interested in getting involved or making a statement. You can go to their forums and look at those threads yourself. xD
In a few month's time, when I need to replace it, I can either get my workers to gather the mats or, easier yet, for ~ 500K silver I can buy all the mats off the marketplace and make another one.
Your post is actually ridiculous in both, the low durability and implied hassle of replacing.
I don't think you've either made or used one or you would know this.

I see that hate is still strong.
You can't avoid level 45 because even life skills give you a surprising amount of levelling experience, so PVE'ers are being forced over 45 and into ganking against their will.
Knowing how dreadful Daum are now, I am not surprised they would make such counter-productive decisions, but slowly but surely, the PVE crowd are crafting/life-skilling themselves over 45, being ganked and (a lot) leaving. Already the servers are beginning to thin out.
You only have to read the thread(s) on the forum to see this is a problem.
Daum's response? Burying their head in the sand.
