Black desert online which server to choose. How premium Black Desert servers work
Hi all!
Throughout history game world there was no such insanity as from Black Desert.
And this is natural: it is included in the top list best games MMORPG genre.
It gives amazing opportunities to players and amazes them with amazing graphics.
Do you want to study Black world Desert, which is twice the size of WoW? We suggest you familiarize yourself with the basic knowledge of the game. Enjoy reading.
Black Desert: the beginning
Stage one: server
GameNet has created a localized version of the game for Russian gamers. Black Desert will delight players with high-quality voice acting in Russian.
Therefore, the desire to start on foreign servers disappears by itself. Moreover, they are difficult to enter. And all because of IP blocking. However, you can get around it quickly enough.
There are two types of servers to choose from: free-2-play and pay-2-play. At first, the developers thought that the heads of many large guilds would choose the second type.
On free servers freeloaders and “bot breeders” will play. But the expectations were not met. Most top players and guilds chose the first type.
Although the subscription is inexpensive: only 500 rubles per month of the game.
But if you want to stay here for a long time and protect your psyche and nerves from crowds of “agro-schoolchildren,” then welcome to the premium server.
Characters in Black Desert
Stage two: character and class
Having chosen a server, start creating your gaming alter ego. In this step you will be amazed at the possibilities of the game!
You can complement the standard appearance of the character with features that make him stand out.
This could be tattoos or special makeup. Yes, some of them are paid. But the hero will stand out from others and will look irresistible.
The game contains many tools for creating a memorable hero. And this is just the beginning.
Just remember: by choosing a class, you will be tied to race, in rare cases - to gender and, naturally, to skills open to study.
But you shouldn’t dwell on characteristics and skills just yet. When creating a character, focus on appearance.
You can select and adjust them while studying the world of the Black Desert. But it’s better to choose a constellation that affects the hero’s temperament now.
Stage three: acquaintance with gaming reality
It doesn't matter which class you choose: you will appear in the same village. So you will immediately begin your journey with your comrades.
The first thing you need to do is look around and complete a few simple quests. Thanks to this you will get to know game mechanics and interface. But don't worry: there will be clues everywhere.
And your main assistant is the Black Cloud. Also use auto-running. This will make it easier for you to move around the village. And in order to reach the goal on the map, use the automatic mode.
Activating it is simple: put a point in the place on the map where you want to go (right mouse click), and then press the “T” key.
And the character will follow the chosen path.
The main thing to remember is that in Black Desert, first of all, you need to be on a team. This is important for advancement and victories. Therefore, do not be shy and communicate with like-minded people, join guilds, create strong connections.
To find your friends, enter the last name of their characters into the search (this is strictly: last name, not first name). And add them to your squad.
Use emotions to meet new players. Select in the editor or by pressing the Enter key.
Now that you've got that out of the way, explore the world to find the things you need. Or just have fun doing something you enjoy doing.
That's why it's great Black game Desert: you will find everything you need in it.
- How to buy a set early access?
Go to the official website link and click "Early Access" - If I bought a set for 500 or 1000 rubles, can I pay extra and buy another one instead?
The support service can help in this case:
1. We will deactivate the early access package that you previously purchased.
2. You purchase the desired (more expensive) set.
3. We will compensate you for the cost of the deactivated set in the form of GN coins to your current account.
If you are satisfied with this offer, then create a corresponding support request: https://support.gamenet.ru - When will the sale of sets end?
The sale of the sets will last until the start of the MBT. - Do I need to activate the purchased NSD somewhere or will it automatically turn on on my account?
If you purchase a set with GN coins, access is automatically activated on your account. If you buy in another way, the key received by e-mail must be activated in the “Promo codes” section on the page gamenet.ru . - What is the difference between P2P servers and F2P?
There will be no difference between the servers in the mechanics of the game; the only difference will be in the store, paid goods and methods of obtaining them. So, for example, some items from the store (some costumes with characteristics, pets, etc.) will be available for silver from NPCs. At the moment, prices are in silver and the full range is still being approved by the developers. The main position is that paid items can be purchased for silver from a special NPC. Items with similar stats, but unique appearance, will only be available in the store. Some items can be obtained for silver from NPCs and in the store. At the start of the P2P server, a limited list of items will be presented in the game store so that it does not affect the initial development of players on the server in the first days. Items from the store will be put up for auction; this is provided for by the mechanics of the auction in the game. - Does the 2500r kit give you access to P2P forever? And then you don’t have to pay a monthly fee?
Right. Having purchased a set for 2,500 rubles, you will not need to pay a subscription fee in the future. Those who have not purchased the bundle will need to pay a monthly subscription fee to play on the P2P server. - Does the 2500 rubles package include premium on a P2P server?
On a P2P server, premium is enabled for all characters by default. The set includes an additional 30-day premium for the F2P server. - How much will a premium account cost for F2P?
Approximately 350-400 rub. - How much will a 1 month subscription to a P2P server cost?
Approximately 400-500 rub. - Is it possible to buy a set for GN coins?
Yes, the set can also be purchased for GN coins: https://gamenet.ru/games/blackdesert/earlyaccess/ - Will it be possible to buy eternal access to the P2P server after the start of OBT?
No. If you did not buy the early access kit for 2,500 rubles and want to play on a P2P server after the start of OBT, you will need to pay a monthly subscription. - Will a set of tools from the set for 2500 rubles be available on P2P?
No, only on the F2P server. More details about the contents of the set: http://blackdesert.ru/founderspack/winterset2500/ - When does the server start for early access holders?
On Monday, October 5 at 8 a.m. Moscow time, game server Black Desert will be open to Early Access pack owners. The first to enter the game will be the owners of sets for 1000 and 2500 rubles, on October 8 - the owners of sets for 500 rubles (the exact time will be announced later) and on October 12 the world of Black Desert will open its doors to everyone! - How many servers will there be at the start of OBT?
On the 5th one F2P server will be launched. The opening of additional servers and their number will depend on the number of willing players. At launch, one server will be available, but with big amount channels.
In the future, we are considering the possibility of opening new servers if necessary. - What will the crafting system be like?
After discussing all the pros and cons, we decided to still keep the handicraft system in Black Desert, but remove HE cans from the premium store, guided by the fact that this will help balance the economic component of the game.To substantiate our position and prevent possible questions, we present the clear advantages of this system:
-players will begin to distribute craft roles among themselves;
-players will interact with each other to obtain the necessary consumables or resources;
- the collapse of prices at the auction is excluded;
-crafting will be an excellent way to earn money in games;
-players who are among the top artisans will acquire significant social status;
-prices at the auction will be determined by demand, and not by the number of items. - How to deal with First and Last Name on a P2P server?
Since the database of names, surnames and guild names is the same for several servers, anyone who wants to reserve a nickname for playing on servers that will be opened later should go to Black Desert at the start of the first server, that is, October 5, and take the necessary names, by following these steps:
-by entering a surname for your characters;
-by creating a character with the desired name;
-and if you are the leader of a guild, creating a clan, which can later be transformed into a guild. Guild name length is limited to 16 characters.In addition, before the start of the premium server, information will be published on how exactly it will be possible to clear the character’s name.
- Will there be compensation for those who purchased the maximum early access set? It may be possible, everything will depend on the delay time for starting the P2P server.
- Is it possible to run a P2P server without game store, but simultaneously with F2P?
Now it is not possible to separate the settings inside the client and server into P2P and F2P. This is the main difficulty in launching a P2P server. Now we, together with the developers, are trying to solve the problem and are waiting for new information.
- Game store on P2P?
Prices will be approximately the same as on the F2P server, but the range will be limited. More detailed information will be available after agreement with the developer.
- Will there be restrictions on in-store purchases?
Yes, they will for some items. Some items can be purchased only for yourself, some for a limited number of times.

Of course, we will definitely organize various promotions and events.

-The cost of declaring war is 150,000 silver.
-Up to six wars can be declared at the same time.
- PvP
At the start of PVP, the system will remain unchanged and will be identical to what players could evaluate during the final CBT. Please note that the developers and I have not yet come to a consensus on how this mechanic works, and therefore we continue to collect feedback from our gaming community.

Not all chests contain bonus miles. The description of each chest will indicate whether the chest includes miles.

Separately.

- Are items obtained through cooking and alchemy transferable?
Ingredients - not yet.
Many items obtained through cooking and alchemy can be transferred.
- Will the list of transferred items be expanded, since so far only cooking and alchemy crafting consumables are transferred, but what about the crafting profession? Almost nothing is transmitted there.
Now not everything is perfect and some things need to be improved. Your feedback on the forums helps us a lot in these matters. If necessary, we will revise the list of items for exchange. - Is there an investment limit of 20k rubles per week?
No.

10,000 pearls + 900 bonus pearls + 5,000 miles = 10k GN coins

- How will a premium account included in NSD work on different servers?
On F2P you will have an item, activating which will enable premium for 30 days.
