Black Desert has just announced that it will be opening name reservations to pre-order players beginning at 1 p.m. EST on Tuesday, February 9th. Pre-orders remain open until February 26th.
“Don’t forget that pre-ordering either the Conqueror’s or Explorer’s package will automatically grant you beta access and in this case you will not need a beta key. The second closed beta test will start the 18th of February, 08:00 UTC and ends the 22nd of February, 08:00 UTC. (The client can be downloaded from the 16th of February).”
Daum has also brought to a close the Beast portion of its Beauty and the Beast contest; the Beauty half is now open for entries on the official site until February 15th. Randomly chosen winners have a chance to receive beta keys, t-shirts, and in-game currency, and all participants snag a costume and title.
