I'm very excited to see how things are going to change moving forward with Pearl Abyss self-publishing Black Desert. It's crazy to see how years ago, I saw beta game-play for the Korean version of the game and I was super excited for it to release in the United States.

When the day finally came, I pre-ordered the game right away and the changes and additions that have been made are absolutely incredible. Now to see Pearl Abyss growing to work on games like Crimson Desert and Plan 8 excites me very much and I'm very glad I was able to find this game when it was still in development. I'm happy to see the growth it's had with not only its player-base but the growth of Pearl Abyss itself.

Cheers to our new adventures!

As a funder, I'm pretty happy with the direction BDO went to during all theses years. Sure, everything isn't perfect and we experienced bad times but overall it was an entertaining experience so far and the future looks promising.

Also from the founder's club here; I'm happy to see how far the game has come overall.

It's gotten much better since it first launched I think

As a founder it has been a long journey, but glad to see where the game is heading to help attract new players.

Ough to be more p2w :thonk:

I wonder how many of us founders actually stuck around since beta/launch?

I'm a founder as well and as you said it's crazy to see how much PA has grown since 2015. They were basically a small startup company and are now self-publishing all over the world with more games coming soon that I can't wait to try! Never expected so much from the game when I first tried the korea OBT :)

As a founder, i'am not happy about what they did, long list, long rant, won't do it out of lazyness, but there's a hefty lot of things that went wrong.

Btw please PA put J hammers to the pearl shop, cron system is outdated now. Thank you. (So that i can see my name on gear and go pepega with ppl)

Crons will never be replaced. The system is too refined to be up-rooted now. 

Also, its engaged to the event rewards and holiday schemes.
