GameNet has announced that the open beta for Black Desert Online will begin on October 12th. The team will be on hand this weekend during Russia's Igromir games festival where players can interact with both BDO and the publishing team. GameNet will subsequently reveal more details about the open beta test. It is possible that October 12th will be the seven day early access event for bundle owners with the wider OBT coming a week after.

Update: P2P server WILL NOT BE launched on October 5th or October 12th. Due to technical difficulties the launch of P2P server will be delayed for 1-2 weeks after the launch of F2P server.
My guess: the Koreans calculated that the income from P2P server will be much lower, but the interest for P2P server was much higher. So they are forcing players on to F2P server in order to earn some more money, and hoping more players will stay on F2P server.
