Honestly I was having a great time initially playing this game until I realized I could not trade a carrot with a Friend while we were playing together. For this game being an MMO and not being able to trade with other players for me personally killed the immersion of the game. Once I experienced this, I no longer saw the game the same and found myself asking why they call it an MMO when it has so many direct player to player restrictions, it should just be called a solo player RPG?

This is a great game. But it's such as MMO grind that I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't thinking putting their nuts in a vice is a good time

I’ve spent hundreds of hours in Black Desert, and honestly, the combat is the best I’ve seen in any MMO – fast, smooth, and crazy satisfying. The world is gorgeous, and I got totally hooked on fishing, trading, and just exploring. But fair warning: the grind never stops, and upgrading your gear is pure RNG torture – I’ve blown up way too many weapons. If you’ve got the time and patience, it’s incredibly rewarding. If not, it’ll burn you out fast.
