Pearl Abyss Talks MMO Market In New Interview
In a new interview with Gamesindustry.biz, Pearl Abyss America's CEO Jeonghee Jin spoke about how the MMO markets are diverging.
Comments
I have higher expectations and i break down games piece by piece to decide if there was much effort put into them and are they worth playing.
BDO is NOT a game design i want to play,not even remotely close,i deleted the game in the first week i started playing.
Has the developer evolved,are they making change in the right direction,i won;t know because i have zero plans to ever go back to playing BDO.Seeing how much of the initial game was done really badly i would say no this team does not GET IT,they do not understand how to immerse someone in a mmorpg.
It was so bad that every 5 minutes i was shaking my head thinking WTF,do that for 3-4 days and yep i was not happy with my purchase.
I do not like Wowish games or KR mmorpg's,i prefer JRPG but not with the JRPG graphics which are always cartoons/anime.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Cool story
Sounds like XLGames and Kakao are made for each other.
I like BDO but this is fairly accurate.
The barrier introduced by the game, made 1/4 as painful by the cash-shop, is too damn high and that's just talking about upgrading your gear to be able to go to those places.
Gear isn't afforded to you like most MMOs. You basically rely on the in game market place for both the right pieces and for upgrades as you need to use other pieces of the same type to repair durability on your gear. The memories make you need 1/4 of them. This shit gets expensive, both in game and IRL fairly quick and easily depletes your in-game finances when you start to upgrade things. Meanwhile, you need to grind grind grind for hours a day earning piddly sums as you can't access the higher AP areas to earn more money.
It's fairly telling that when the game has in-game events that offer anything related to gear upgrades the community swarms them faster then a fat kid to a cupcake. If you are thinking of playing BDO don't do it for the end-game.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.

DMKano was an hardcore Trion fanboy (to put it lightly), and BDO was in direct competition with Archeage, as they are very similar games at their core.
So he always tried to make it look like BDO was a worse P2W game than Archeage, and even now that Archeage brought down the entire studio (Trion) due to the worse P2W cash shop ever implemented in the West, he refuses to let it go.
Meanwhile BDO is still thriving due to its very mild P2W cash shop, though DMKano doesn’t agree with it because, you know.... reasons.
The only reason why I stopped playing BDO it’s because it has shit group PVE, the cash shop never bothered me.
On the other hand, the reason I quit Archeage was because of the cash shop, as in my opinion AA was a better game than BDO.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

What's the argument here? Sounds to me like you both agree this game is p2w trash.

Same for the few P2W items in the shops which can be easily be obtained by afk fishing.
I played BDO for almost 2 years and never paid a single penny.
I have plenty of pets, costumes and high end gear in my bank, together with a year worth of FREE subscription, all obtained by just playing the game.
So BDO isn’t P2W if you play the game.
Yes, if you play only 1 hour per day, you have to open the wallet, that’s true.
But that’s also true for every other MMORPG that you play casually and in which somewhat you want to be competitive.

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer

Even the American CEO of BDO realises subscription/B2P is not going away, it will be supported by players. Can one of those guys like Gdemmani who think our support for using these revenue models is archaic and unrealistic post to tell us how we are so wrong. Thanks.
