Black Desert Alpha Site Opens, Client Available

If you're itching to play in Black Desert Online's Alpha test on Monday, you will be excited to hear that the alpha site has opened and the client can now be downloaded. Simply head over there, enter your Alpha key, and press Download. Considering the amount of hype that is building around this one, you might want to pre-load the client in able to ensure that you are able to fight the waves of people trying to log in on the alpha's launch date.

The team specified that at this point Black Desert's NA/EU version is "still in localization and polishing stages to adapt to the Western market." They go on to say that, "Some features may be disabled or not fully functional" and that the current client "does not reflect the final state of the product at launch." It sounds like the experience will be marginally the same as the experience on other regions' servers for the time being. During this test, they are "focusing on tweaking the hardware (server integration) and client configuration" and you shouldn't expect much to be different just yet.

Nevertheless, if you find that you want to leave feedback on the current state of the game, they are saying to do so on the forums.
