I offered my services to DVS via writing an article for them in exchange for access for Free access Black Desert Online. Super took over two weeks to respond to me after I repeatedly tried to make contact him, his reasoning being that he was too busy with PAX preparations. It was a response that came only after I told him I was withdrawing the offer. That said I would like to extend that offer to XoO, I do not know if you want to or can fulfill the requirements but I will provide the same terms should circumstances prove conducive.
Its free to play. If your familiar with playing on Korean servers you can make an account and start playing. They add castle sieges next week.
The game is out in korea so its not in English. There is a russian beta also. If you are not familiar with how to play on a korean or russian server you should wait about 9 months+ for an english NA beta. If you are feeling brave follow the instructions here http://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesert...faq_and_useful_info_vol_2_please_read_before/
Odd, super was saying he had passes as given by the producers so I guess it was special circumstances.
