I normally don't post new MMo's coming from Korea, but this one has been getting some major buzz...
The guys who made Continent of the Ninth (C9), always wanted to make a persistent open-world with Action combat that was missing from C9. So they have made a new MMO called Black Desert.
Black Deseret will feature the same awesome combat was in C9, active dodge, active block and various attack combination chains, but now in a persistent open world.
The main features are Large-scale castle/ town siege's. Defenders will have to destroy the invaders’ cannons, ladders and kill them off, while the invaders will have to destroy the main gate and try to climb up the walls. More strategic features will be implemented in due course to make this event as dynamic as possible.
Other features include various trade and production activities such as farming, factories, gathering and more.
Black Desert has only been officially signed to Japan under publisher GameOn(Neowitz games) with Closed Beta scheduled for early 2013. For a game which only started development around 2010, it is looking mighty impressive already.
