Black Desert finally answers the eternal MMORPG question: Who does laundry in this gameworld?

So who washes all the clothes your toons wear in MMORPGs? This is a topic that needs to be explored… in some other article. This piece does involve laundry, but it’s much weirder than just washing clothes: In Black Desert, players are going to be merely collecting sunken laundry and turning it in to the adorable Crio for treasure maps.

I didn’t say it was going to make sense. At least it’s something different from being a murder hobo.

The rest of this week’s patch adds a few more bits and bobs to Kakao’s sandbox, including a new level 60 challenge: “During the event period, a new Challenge to reach Lv.60 has been added via Challenges tab (Y). (Once per Family allowed). Adventurers who have achieved Lv.60 with their characters before the maintenance will have the Challenge completed automatically upon logging-in. Trina Knights First Captain’s Support Kit (7 Days) will require at max 34 Inventory Slots free in order to obtain all components inside.”

The Waterpark is now closed down for the season, but the Conquest/Node War events continue on for another week and a half; new boatmen quests are available; and a handful of class bugs have been repaired. Oh yeah, and family birthdays will now be celebrated with cake. Yay cake!

Finally, Kakao fixed the thing where “the game screen would turn purple intermittently,” but to be honest, I feel like that was more a feature than a bug.
