Summarizing my opinion of Black Desert is not something easily transcribed for me personally. I have been playing this game since it's western inception back in 2016 and now across multiple serviced regions. Along the way there have been MANY hurdles to overcome, from the classic Australian connection experience, to horrible ex-publisher nightmares from Kakao Games who were so blindly incompetent they may as well have been some idiot trying to climb over a glass wall to see what's behind the entire time. But there are so many reasons as to why this game deserves an enormous amount of praise and respect for what the developers and community have achieved over the many years of service.

A big hurdle I have had to jump over along with a majority amount of the community is the game often being paired with a joke or series of mindless complaints about how terrible something is. A lot of people don't seem to realise just how lucky we are to have this game in it's previous and current form. This issue has bled outside the community bubble and has affected the outside opinion of what is an absolutely fantastic experience that I think deserves a better understanding rather than a spread of misinformation. Just like any other MMORPG it has flaws and is far from a perfect. But a fair few people in the MMO community just jump on the band wagon and let others think for them instead. This game is anything but predictable in it's execution and personally I love that because it challenges every idea that people have for an MMO world. The developers actively try to step away from the same formulaic strategies we all grow tired of and that in turn removes the inevitable brick wall finish line that most MMORPG's suffer from. A far more common occurrence these days which only serves to make things feel like a pointless chore.

It's not for everyone and I'm not going to sit here and pretend that it is, but it's so much more than people inside and out of the community make it out to be. Looking back on how the game looked and played back in 2016 is just night and day. It may as well be an entirely new game at this point. Originally marketed as a open world PVP MMO experience, Black Desert's scope has expanded so far past it's original concept nowadays that it really can't be labelled just one thing anymore. The amount of mind blowing updates and solutions to issues that the developers have implemented over the years still baffles me. Intelligent solutions you could only dream possible in most other MMO's.
