J's Letter

A Letter from J, Black Desert Online's Executive Producer

Dear Adventurers,

This is Jae-Hee Kim, the Executive Producer of Black Desert Online.

Starting today, Black Desert Online is now self-published by Pearl Abyss. It’s been five years since our first adventure took off in North America and Europe on March 3rd, 2016. And it’s a unique feeling, looking back on those five years which bring forth so many memories. Memories of worry, apprehension, and excitement all jumbled together as we prepared for our first service, and even memories of my pounding heartbeat as the anticipation grew for the start of service...

At that time, there were many things that fell short of expectation and many things that were quite troublesome. But thanks to support from our loyal Adventurers, we’ve been able to grow into a stable and sustainable game, giving us the chance to gain a great deal of confidence. Directly servicing Black Desert Online for North America and Europe holds special meaning for us. Because no matter how you look at it, being able to proudly introduce a game developed in Asia—South Korea no less—to North America and Europe is no easy feat.

2016’s first meeting with many Adventurers at Gamescom; 2017’s fun and interesting Adventurer Story Contest; 2018’s Costume Contest (it took a while, but we finally released the Corvicanus outfit. ) and TwitchCon; 2019’s Korea G-Star Arena Tournament... and of course, even the three years of Mysteries of Summer... It feels like there’s been many big and small, happy memories during those frantic five years.

As an MMORPG, we’ve been selected as the best MMO by various media outlets and maintained growing concurrent player numbers that even surpass our records from the early days of service thanks to the support of our North American and European Adventurers. But above all, I believe that the most valuable achievement has been the amazing amount of love Adventurers have shown us during the past five years. Thank you for believing in us. I’ve always really wanted to say this. And that is we believe there’s only one thing we need to do: repay the trust you’ve given us.

With Pearl Abyss servicing Black Desert worldwide, encompassing South Korea, Japan, Russia, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau, Turkey & MENA, Thailand, and Southeast Asia, we built up a lot of experience and leveled up our operational know-how. Using this experience, we’ll do our best to continue a better and more enjoyable service. Additionally, I believe the reason why Black Desert Online has enjoyed so much love so far is because we’ve poured our hearts into making and improving this game. Everyone that’s part of the Black Desert Studio, which includes me, promises to always uphold this belief.

I look forward to spending the next ten, twenty, and many more years to come alongside our Adventurers in Black Desert Online.

And of course, welcome to your next adventures with Pearl Abyss.

Oh, one last thing. It might not be much, but as a token of our appreciation, we’ll be giving fifty Artisan's Memory to all our Adventurers.

Added the Black Desert font

● Added the new font 'Strong Sword.'

First introduced in the Black Desert Global Lab, 'Strong Sword” - the Black Desert font, has been added to Black Desert Online.
Produced in collaboration with a Korean font-design company, Strong Sword is a font designed to better express and embody the fast-paced action of Black Desert Online. Come take a look!

DejaVu Sans

Strong Sword

▲ The 'Strong Sword' font was designed using the motif of a powerful sword.

DejaVu Sans

Strong Sword

▲ The font is much easier to read thanks to its sleek design!

- Go to General Settings → Quality of Life, then select the new font 'Strong Sword' to apply it to the game.
- The 'Strong Sword' font will be set as the default for new Adventurers.

Improving Black Desert Online Security – OTP & PC Registration Settings

● Added the OTP and PC Registration service to better protect our Adventurers' information.

* What is OTP?
OTP stands for 'One Time Password.' You can think of it as a 'password that only gets used once.' It is a randomly generated password that can only be used to login once. OTP is designed to reduce the risk of exposing your account to dangers, especially when you're using the same password across multiple accounts. It may be slightly inconvenient when logging in, but it is a great way to keep your account safe!

* What does PC Registration mean?
PC registration allows you to designate the PCs that can login to your Black Desert Online account. So by registering a PC, you will be able to make your account extra safe!
Up to 5 PCs can be registered, and you can designate and change the registered PCs through the Black Desert launcher.

- Adventurers that set up OTP or PC registration on their accounts will get an Item Drop Rate +5% buff with unlimited duration.
* For more information about OTP settings, please refer to the [Black Desert Online Security Campaign].

It has been around 2 years since the initial release of Bartali's Adventure Log. The adventure logs were originally designed to help adventurers progress their characters through the world of Black Desert, but now it seems to be more of a burden as the number of adventure logs have increased. Therefore, we have decided to adjust the difficulty, convenience, and accessibility of the logs. We will continue to listen to our adventurers' voices and work on improving the adventure logs even further.

● Mysterious vibrations have been reported to go off simultaneously from within certain chapters of currently-known adventure logs. Apparently, this has caused some change within the contents of certain adventure logs as well.
* Bartali's Adventure Log
- Volume 8 Chapter 5: Added details important for completing the chapter to the text.
- Volume 10 Chapter 5: Changed 'Show TRI: Asula's Crimson Eye Necklace to Ekta' to 'Equip a TRI (III) or higher Asula's Accessory'.

* Dorin Morgrim's Secret Journal
- Volume 1 Chapter 2: Added the condition to complete the chapter's objective 'Hand over Ultimate Weapon or Armor Reform Stone x1.

* Book of Margahan
- Volume 2: Changed the number of monsters required to be killed below. Also changed the volume to keep track of monsters killed regardless of having completed a previous chapter or not.

Adventurers that have already completed Altar of Blood up to the 10th Illusion can go try it anew for the new rewards. Even though party content like Altar of Blood and Altar of Training may be somewhat difficult for our Adventurers to get into, we hope this event will inspire our Adventurers to try them out. While it won't happen very often, we will work on bringing similar updates for our Adventurers to enjoy trying different content. So today, we start the 2-week event for Altar of Blood. Afterwards, we plan to start an event for seagull hotspot fishing. Please stay tuned!
