So I'm sure some of you have seen or heard something about this game somewhere, but I'll summarize it.
BDO is an open world MMORPG coming out soon. It currently has a Korean version, but the NA version is set to release in the "early quarter of 2016" as there is no date confirmed yet. Closed Beta 2 is going to in February.
Prices -
The game is B2P (Buy to play) so just a one time purchase. There are founder packs right now for pre-order which give you a number of benefits and exclusive stuff that will never be available again. Some examples are 1, 2, and 5 day early acces depending on what pack you get. You also get to reserve you character name and family name plus a bunch of cool exclusive stuff. The prices are $29.99, $49.99, and $99.99.

- Not P2W or P2P
- Amazing character creation
- There's so much to do
- Not many open world MMORPG's out there now
- 9 unique classes
Cons -
- Some classes are gender restricted
- Your horses can die
- Need to have a prety good PC to play it
- No max level (though this could be a pro)
- Soft cap level 50 is too easy to hit (again could be a pro)
So I'll add more soon but one thing that got me is there's no fast travel, you have to travel the entire world on horseback, camel, donkey, or raft/boat. Also it's not P2W and the currency (silver) isn't hard to earn like many games out there today. The social features are a plus too. I'll continue to update this as I get more info and play the KR version more.
