    Mail.ru is bussy with ArcheAge, but I hoped it will be Innova. I know nothing about this GameNet.ru. Anyone can share something about them ?

    Anyone willing to translate it? :D

    What I doscovered is that there will be NO IP RESTRICTION IN RUSSIA!!

    and that they want more hardcore PvP - as in more dropped items and cash shop will have fluff items only (no P2W)

    Expected Russian beta - January 2015

    I think I actually spent way more time reading and theorycrafting about MMOs than playing them

    UPDATED with the ending FAQ list:

    - No initial IP Block

    - Unlimited Siege Numbers

    - Open World PvP with Karma System

    and many many more ...

    First off, there will be no localization of the game; meaning the Russian Black Desert will be the same as the Korean version. A notable feature of Black Desert was the Oculus rift support, Gamenet has stated Oculus Rift support will rely on how the development process goes.

    Moving onto the in-game features Gamenet has currently declared; Player versus Player in the Arena will not be rewarding, stated by Gamenet. During PvP engagements players will lose items upon death, such as “Black Stones;” hopefully providing the risk and thrill our PvP oriented playerbase is desperately striving for. There will be both PvP servers, as well as PvE servers.

    As for the specifics! Gamenet has made it very clear there will be no toleration for bots and hackers; they’ve also made it precedent that their Game Masters will be top notch regarding these delicate matters. There will be no IP block, shared by Gamenet. The amount of servers is going to depend on their playerbase. The most surprising information shared is the game will be free to play, but if the community wants, there will be separate pay to play servers. That being said, Gamenet has insisted the game will not be pay to win. Closed Beta will be in December, 2014; the release will be January, 2015.

    Different tastes.

    Koreans, Russians and eastern europeans are less casual and carebear than NA average player.

    NA players have much higher quality expectations when it comes to games.

    Poorly translated games don't do well in NA.

     

    Has nothing to do with translation.

    The main reason why most SEA games have such a hard time coming to NA is that the NA publishers have crazy financial expectations, are greedy and want to change the games for the US market which most of the time does not sit well with Asian publishers/developers.

    Oculus support? I'll believe it when I see it.

    Changing the game for different markets makes sense - look at ArcheAge - some of the stuff in Korean 1.0 version is terrible, good thing it's getting changed for Russia as well as NA/EU market.

    If Pearl Abyss down the road implements a change that is terrible - and all versions are the same - then you'll hear the players saying "I wish we had a different version"

    Having localized versions is worse for the dev (they have more work as they have multiple code branches) - but better for the players.

    Not having localized versions is worse for the publishers and gamers in the long run as it's only a matter of time before the dev puts in a change that players in another region HATE and the publisher has no leg to stand on to have it changed. 

    I totally agree with you. I never said its a good thing to not change it. I merely pointed out that the changing and the silly expectations of western publishers are preventing or delaying most releases.

    Not the translation.

    Because we don't stick to games that come from overseas. They don't do well here

    If I were a publisher for NA/EU I would be all over Black Desert like a cat on a mouse. Srsly. This is a gold mine.

    I agree with this.

    roadmap on the russian publisher:

    CBT in November, 2014

    OBT in January, 2015 (3 months after korean OBT)

     

    OBT date might be postponed due to korean OBT delay

    Lineage 2 exploded in Russia after it was pretty much done in NA.  It seems that there is a large market in Russia for Korean MMOs

    I agree with this.

     

    I played Lineage 2 and it was pretty popular at the time, maybe that somehow changed?

    Most likely. Ant translation has nothing to do with it since most players dont care about quests, and if they do they are too casual.
