I can see peoples concern with the content for PvE too, although this game doesn't stick with the traditional raids/dungeons that other mmo's have, it still has world bosses that guilds can try and take down (up to 8 i believe). I heard it takes around 30 players to do this, i've not expereinced it though i'm just going by my guild leader who has played KR.

My 2 favorite MMOs of all time were UO and Legend of Mir 2, the latter being my favorite game of all time. UO I played for a few years and mir I've played on and off for like 14-16 years. In Mir when you died you had a chance to drop an item you were wearing and there was a bit of risk vs reward for it and I really liked that, there wasn't instanced PvP it was all open world stuff so if someone was at a boss and I wanted it I could kill them and take it. PvE was just a grind nothing much else to say about it but I enjoyed it but the PvP was very very skill based. I've played numerous games over the years and Blade and soul was my last game, I was so amped for that but the lag I get in arena make the game unplayable for me, I get 300ms + ping and go against people who have 30-60 and I just don't stand a chance so I'm looking for a new game.
I'm so unsure about BDO, I mean there isn't really a competitive aspect for PvP is there? Do you actually get anything from PvPing or PKing people? Do you have to farm certain mobs for amour sets and what not? The one thing I liked about the Legend of mir is solo play you could get everything or as a small group you didn't have to rely on large people is it the same in BDO or am I forced to join a large guild and/or party with people?
Thanks

World PvP
Black Desert offers an open world PvP System starting at Level 50 (KR Version). Once you reached Level 50 you can start to fight other players. One Character on Level 50 is enough to activate the PvP Mode on all your Characters, regardless of their level. Players that are killed in open world PvP will lose exp and items. Killing other players will certainly result in receiving negative karma. Players with negative karma will drop more items when they die.
Siege PvP
Every week the best PvP Guilds can fight for glory in huge PvP Sieges. During the Siege War every participating Guild will build it’s own base near the Fortress. The Guild that kills the King of the Fortress will own it and it’s surroundings until the next Siege War. Sounds easier than it is, because your Guild is not the only one trying to conquer the Fortress. Do you have what it takes to lead your Guild to victory against thousands of enemies?
Arena PvP
Normal PvP Arenas can be found in every major City. In the PvP Arena you can fight other Players without any penalties.
Instanced PvP
Looking for some serious 3 vs. 3 matches? Just join the Lobby for Instanced PvP if you and your friends wants to fight other teams in an instanced environment.
Crimson Battlefield
Crimson Battlefield is a merciless battle system which you can participate in with the help of your Black Spirit from anywhere and anytime if you are over level 50. You do not have any death penalty on this special Battlefield. If you defeat enemy players continuously, a message praising your achievement will be displayed. Normally the position of enemy players are displayed on world map, and if a character achieves 5 continuous / 10 continuous kills, that player will be displayed on world map as a leading character. It’s like a huge area where 2 Teams fight against each other.

How much of that is in the NA/EU release i'm not sure.
Soldato
From what i can make out there is a karma system for pvping in open world. When you hit a certain level you can partake in pvp by flagging yourself for it. If you then proceed to attack and kill someone else whose flagged you dont get punished. If you attack and kill someone not flagged you gain karma. More you gain the more exp you lose and items when you die. Also guards etc... in cities will attack you. You can lose karma bu killing mobs etc...
Soldato
Same system as in L2, my #1 mmo 
Well, vanilla L2.

Whether things are different on the NA/EU version i don't know but thats what ive copied and pasted from other sites.
No idea myself though as i haven't tried it.

It's F2P in RU and KR but for the NA & EU release they are ging with a B2P model.
The only place to purchase this game is through the offical store, with the 3 different packages, the price in £ of each one escapes me at the moment.
It won't be through steam, will be a stand alone install.
Hmmm, is there any incentive for doing world PvP then? or is this just a system to deter the griefers as by the sounds of it there seems to be no reason to flag yourself unless I'm missing something?
Soldato
€30 for the basic package
€50 for the mid level package
€100 for the ultimate one

Still struggling to pick a family name, will just go where my friends go server wise.
I'm going on Alustin
Soldato

I thought it was family name which stood out the most above type character. I think family is used for guilds too but character is in chat.
Soldato
Austin for me to so terry get on that one guys.
