1st option (character creator). I played it for few hours. Creator is great and it has a library of presets which consisted of Naruto characters, Geralt's of Rivia, famous actors and so on. The game is mostly about auto-piloting from place to place and deleteing mobs with one attacks and not losing 1 point of health. When I played with a friend and we tried some PvP we couldn't kill each other for some reason. I quit when I saw around 30 people fishing near a beach in starting location. I don't want sound hostile or anything but the game did make a bad impression on me. It just felt like there is no fun just work to make few dollars a day reselling stuff on in-game market or ebay with all the mules making profit on game's economy. I played on 7 day free trial didn't progress really far, this game just reinforced my belief why I avoid MMOs, it has everthing I imagined about them, like too nerdy, time-consuming and asian.

No. People play Black Desert as a last resort if they got filtered by something else. Everything that Black Desert does has been done better in other games except muh graphics. Go play Runescape, UO or Star Wars Galaxies Emu instead.
Crimson Desert might be better.

It does combat pretty well too.
But It'd say generally WoW or FFXIV online would probably be the best 1st tries.
Up until April 13th the game is "free to keep" on Steam, so if you get it now you'll own it until the Servers inevitably shut down.

I did not realize that the servers shut down. Is it going that badly for BDO?
It was my apparently bad attempt at making a jest.
Servers will remain online until our sun finally burns out and we have to migrate to another solar system. The last act of World President Mumbotu on this planet will be his ASMR live broadcast of the sound from him flicking the BDO Server switches. On that day the song of BDO Server fans whizzing and whirling shall fade into oblivion. Broadcast into the cold and dark void of the universe. But BDO's story shall never end. Generations to come will hear this story on volcanic prison planet Erupticus VII, dreaming of a better tomorrow while listening to the story tellers recounting tales of the golden age of humanity when BDO became free, just like the prisoners' spirits shall one day be, too.

I've been thinking about getting into this. I appreciate that the character creator lets you go all out on the T&A. It might seem shallow but it beats playing as the freakshows in western games. I'm so tired of fat balled trannys and bull dykes.

Just came across a PS gift card that I did not steal from a store. I was looking at BDO it's on sale.

You say you hate MMO's but are willing to make an exception for some T&A. If you are going to give the game a fair chance and you end up liking it, then the deal you listed is a good value. On the other hand, if you hate MMO's I am not sure the character creator and staring at your creations tits will hold up for longer than a few wank sessions.
From your voice and general disposition as well as the feng shui on display, I would say you are a closet anime fan (or one in the making) in need of a waifu. I say get it.

Uh... dunno.
Mine works, but I transfered it back then. The devs (pearl abyss) basically bought themselves out from the publisher (kakao games) and due to laws, couldn't use existing data but had to get permission from us to transfer over to their official database(s).So what happend to this game? I was thinking of giving it another shot, because of fond memories from the release, only to find this email
Is my account still worth anything? Somebody in the loop with Black Desert?
Donno if that was all fluff and they transfered everyone anyway.
Either way though, it wouldn't be worth much these days because of general game inflation. There was an event recently that gave away (still is active tbh I think) a free pen blackstar main or awak weapon, which is like insane... granted you couldn't sell it in the market, but still.
There's another event coming up that you can combine 2 pen blackstars and get the next tier higher (highest tier currently), forgot name, godr?
So if you didn't play in 2020 or after, for a while, your account isn't worth much anyway. Wouldn't be much different compared to just restarting the game with a new account. They even added some new different main quest lines to help with that since.
I don't think you have to rebuy? I think your data just got wiped.
Is it on steam still for you?

Then I'm not sure about that then, I think the launcher got changed as well.
Probably easier to rebuy then, it's £9 on steam and I've seen it go on offers below £5.
