INTRODUCCIÓN
Hello there, future adventurer! Have you ever had the urge to step into a fantastical world filled with thrilling quests, intricate character customization, and vast landscapes? Welcome to the exciting world of Black Desert Online, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) where you get to craft your own journey. If you’ve never played an MMORPG before, or maybe you’re simply new to Black Desert Online, you’re in the right place. This beginner-friendly guide will introduce you to the captivating world of this game and arm you with the basics to start your adventure.
WHAT IS BLACK DESERT ONLINE?
Black Desert Online (BDO) is a MMORPG developed and published by Pearl Abyss. The game is set in a high fantasy setting and revolves around the conflict between rival nations in a shared open-world environment. Black Desert Online was first released in 2015 and has gained popularity for its stunning graphics, intricate character customization, exciting combat system, and a vast seamless world. It fits into the larger gaming world as a sandbox-oriented MMORPG, primarily because of its player-driven economy, vast open-world exploration, and comprehensive skill-based combat system. It’s like “The Elder Scrolls Online,” but with more emphasis on the player’s individual experience, providing a unique blend of adventure and creativity.
CÓMO FUNCIONA / CÓMO EMPEZAR
Jumping into Black Desert Online is quite simple. After downloading the game client and signing up for an account, you’ll go through the engaging process of character creation. BDO offers a vast range of options to customize your character, from their face shape, to body size, to the length and style of their hair, providing an unforgettable personal touch in an immersive world.
Gameplay generally involves completing quests, exploring, crafting items, trading, farming, and engaging in combat. When you start out, the game guides you through a series of introductory main quests and tutorials, helping you to familiarize yourself with the game.
Every player starts with basic combat abilities but as you progress, you gain experience points (XP), helping your character to level up, and you earn skill points to learn and improve various combat and non-combat skills.
