I stopped playing BDO right after the first expansion came out (the winter one).

Has there been added any more PVE since? Story?

Just chiming in to say that Eternal Winter isn't the first expansion.

The winter region was not the first expansion! And for someone who created his account when the game came out, you should know that!

But if you say, you stopped right after the first expansion came out (which was Mediah): yes they added alot of new regions.

Looks like OP's account was created in 2016 so it's possible. Plus memory eludes us all.

The world is significantly much bigger than back then. Mediah was released, Kamasilvia was released, O'draxxia or whatever that content was labelled as also released, ocean content was made available, Eternal winter, there are now like 24 playable classes, and in a little bit maybe a couple of weeks we will see a new continent across the ocean release. Story got revamped, there were a lot of new features added, tons of QoL improvements, etc....

Lots has changed since 2016, I would argue it's an entirely differnet game. Also PA is now hosting it instead of Kakao so you don't have to worry about the servers going offline like back then (assuming that's why you left like most of us did back then).

There's a lot of PvE content, way more than PvP. It's hard to describe just how many new things were added since then but it's significant.
