At the moment, you can freely play different versions of the game from Pearl Abyss, namely Black Desert Mobile.
Now, in contrast to the time when the game appeared only in Korea, several years have passed. The content is naturally different. For example, Chaos equipment appeared only in July, while in Korea it was already almost 8-9 months ago. The gap itself between the start of the global server (hereinafter "global") and the start of the pilot server in Korea is almost a year. And in combat strength (hereinafter "bs") in terms of time is equal to about a year.
But there are differences, in addition to the obvious advantages in the awards in Korea, and they are quite interesting and raise questions. For example, when you enter the game in Korea, you immediately see an abundance of events that have never been on the global. In addition, an experienced player will immediately notice some of the features of the auction. Here are some details:
As you can see, in addition to being sold for silver, it is also available in the shakatu shop:
But all the same, even with such seemingly positive differences, in Korea it is very difficult to overcome the bar in the top by bs of at least 5%. This is due to the fact that people play for a very long time, and they even have a cap on the knowledge of world bosses, which sounds amazing on the global, because it has not been achieved even by the strongest player at the moment.
The awards for newcomers, boosts in the mail, awards for tasks also differ here, there are locations that may be available in six months and on the global.
Of course, the fact catches the eye: there are very, very few people, especially before the chaos of locations begins. All locations in hadum are absolutely empty, players have gone far ahead and you can safely farm in an outcast even at night.
One big disadvantage of Korea is the lack of proper information on translations. And sometimes even the players cannot figure out what needs to be done to complete any new stories. Therefore, there is nowhere to wait for help. And you won't see the actual content even after six months.
And of course everyone's favorite part of the f2p game, donate. As you can see, donation in Korea is cheaper, although not by much, in the long run it is more pleasant to purchase. Here are screenshots from Korea and Global on 07/18/21:
The verdict for Korea is as follows: you can play, but you will be lagging behind the treadmills everywhere, in the global, in Korea. Moreover, you will face many difficulties in the form of a daily translation of something, from events to the translation of what is in your inventory.
Most importantly, play for fun, because this is a game, not a job.
