In wake of the sad news regarding the end of Nostalrius...

Allow me to introduce those of you that have not already heard of r/blackdesertonline

I've played WoW on and off since retail Vanilla, losing interest after Wotlk, and coming back to experience new expansions for a couple months before quitting again since.

I've played countless MMO's in search of something that would capture my attention and fill the void that WoW had left.. 9Dragons, AoC, Age of Wulin, Aion, Allods Online, ArcheAge, Asheron's Call, DaoC (post glory-era), Drakensang, Darkfall, Dragon Nest, D&D Online, ESO, EQ2, Fiesta, GW2, Knight Online, Mortal Online, Requiem, Rift, Runes of Magic, The Secret World, SWTOR, TERA, Vindictus, Warhammer Online, and probably more.

Long story short, Black Desert has been the lone game capable of captivating me day after day, giving me the same exciting feeling as when I was first trekking through Azeroth for the first time. The anticipation of dying to get home to progress in whatever the fuck you're trying to accomplish. The game "feels" different at first, but give it a chance.. There is so much to do, for once I felt no urge to rush to max level to enjoy end-game content.

Anyways, for those looking for a new home.. Give it a look. It's B2P, with no P2W cash-shop items. $30 is 2 months of WoW subscription, and you can play the game at your leisure.

I will miss Nostalrius, but Black Desert has given me hope for the future of the MMORPG genre.
