Black Desert (Korean: 검은사막) is an upcoming sandbox-oriented massively multiplayer online role-playing game by Korean video game developer Pearl Abyss. The game has been in development since 2010, and entered closed beta testing (CBT) in October 2013. The game uses Pearl Abyss' own "Black Desert" engine specifically created to handle the fast rendering required for its seamless world and large-scale castle sieges. Black Desert will be released using "free-to-play" model in Korea, Japan and Russia, although no further details of the business model or revenue generation have been announced, while in Europe and North America the game will use "buy-to-play" model.

In order to get into the first CBT for EU/NA without having to try to win a beta key you can pre-order a copy of the game. You have to pre-order the $99.99 version in order to get into CBT 1 and CBT 2. You can always play the other versions there are several English patches and the lag is very minimum, I would suggest the Korean version if you are on the East Coast of the US, from my experience there is really no lag, you don't need a VPN to access it since they don't restrict IP(s). I would not suggest playing the Russian version, the content is delayed whereas the Japan and Korean versions are more up-to-date and you need to use a VPN to connect.
