New to the cash shop is the Privateer Weapon set, described by a lore-infused blurb that might have struck you odd when you first read it -- it sure sounded odd to me: "I originally commissioned this set for the Captain’s Council, but for personal reasons...

Hope you weren't planning on Black Desert's Siege Warfare content update launching as planned: Daum has delayed it once again, this time to Friday, June 17th. "While preparing the siege war update, planned for June 15th, we ran into some last minute obstacles which brought us to a drastic decision," wrote Daum community rep Belsazar.
