    Pearl Abyss (Black Desert Online) to Acquire CCP
    Today, Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss announced that it will acquire CCP Games, the creators of popular spaceship MMORPG EVE Online. The deal outlines that CCP Games will continue to operate independently as a developer with studios in Reykjavik, London and Shanghai, while integrating the company’s extensive development and publishing expertise into Pearl Abyss’ operations for all current and future projects.

    EVE Online is a space-based, persistent world MMO game, developed by CCP’s Reykjavik studio. The game first launched in 2003 and has since gained recognition for its scale and complexity with regards to player interactions in EVE’s single, shared game world. EVE Online is one of the most critically-acclaimed MMORPG intellectual properties (IPs) in North America and Europe, and one of the most extensive works of science fiction in the world.

    Pearl Abyss CEO Robin Jung stated, “We are thrilled to have CCP Games join our team as Black Desert Online continues to branch out globally. CCP is a seasoned publisher with over 15 years of digital distribution experience and know-how. They have done an incredible job of engaging and maintaining their playerbase, which we aim to learn from and hope to integrate natively into Pearl Abyss’ general practices across all our games. I am confident CCP’s reputable IP and expertise in global publishing will help reaffirm our company’s dedication to developing and servicing the world’s best MMORPGs.”

    “I have been seriously impressed with what Pearl Abyss has achieved ever since I first visited their website for Black Desert Online and subsequently became an avid player of the game,” said CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson. “Pearl Abyss is a fast-growing company with lots to offer in terms of technology, capability and vision. I believe our two companies have a lot to learn from each other. We are very excited to join forces with them and achieve great new heights for our companies, our games and – above all - our players.”

    Birgir Már Ragnarsson of Novator Partners and Chairman of CCP commented, “As lead investor in CCP for over 13 years alongside General Catalyst and NEA, we’ve seen CCP go from being a few dozen people strong to employing hundreds all over the world, with an ever-increasing customer base and multiple titles. CEO Hilmar V. Pétursson and his dedicated team have built a company that Novator and its partners are proud to hand over to Pearl Abyss and we wish them the best of luck in their future ventures.”

    Pearl Abyss first launched its open-world MMORPG, Black Desert Online, in Korea in 2014. The game has received critical acclaim for its advanced graphics, seamless world, large-scale castle sieges and action-based combat system. Since Pearl Abyss’ initial public offering in 2017, the company has worked to secure competitive global IPs, such as EVE Online, through strategic investments and M&A activity.

    Pearl Abyss saw record-high sales in the first half of 2018, following the launch of Black Desert Mobile in Korea. The company is looking forward to another strong year in 2019 with EVE Online and the upcoming global launch of Black Desert Mobile.

    Deutsche Bank is acting as financial advisor to Pearl Abyss, and Kim & Chang is providing legal counsel. The Raine Group is acting as financial advisor to CCP Games, and White & Case LLP and LOGOS are providing legal counsel.

    Some of the biggest changes coming to this balance update, and for Eve Online this Spring in general, are for capital ship balance, which has always been a point of difficulty for the developers. Two of the most important issues that need addressing are the overwhelming power of the Force Auxiliaries and the power of capital ships suppressing the viability of sub-capitals.

    The first balance fix is the application of a new diminishing returns system for the effectiveness of all remote repair and capacitor transmitter modules. What this essentially means is that a modifier will be added to any ship being targeted by remote assistance. The more repair per second (rep) a player receives, the less effective additional repairs will become. The reason for setting the diminishing returns relative to the total rep being applied is to ensure someone can’t use small repairers to cancel out your Force Auxiliaries (FAX) fleet.

    The second update will be to fix sub-capital oppression, which High Angle Weapons (HAW) are the biggest offenders. Therefore the fix will reduce damage multiplier for all HAW by 50% and give a corresponding 100% increase to HAW damage from Siege Mode. This will leave HAW Dread damage per second (DPS) where it is now, while dropping HAW Titan DPS by half.

    The last two fixes balance the damage output of unsupported Carriers and Super-Carriers and adjust the insurance charges for the massive Capital ships. There are also some general sub-capital balance updates.

    The HAW work does nothing. Just means instead of wiping out a subcap fleet in 30 seconds with a titan drop, it will take 60 seconds. The rest of this patch is in a good direction for the game
