Black Desert

Black Desert is an open-world MMORPG where combat shares space with a sprawling suite of life skills. You'll fight in real-time action battles and large-scale sieges, but you can also spend hours fishing, cooking, gathering resources, training horses, or running trade routes across the map. The world spans two rival nations—a republic and a monarchy—locked in conflict over a desert rich in corrupted relics called Black Stones. These artifacts hold secrets of a fallen civilization you'll uncover through questing. Character creation is unusually detailed, and the remastered visuals aim for photorealism. If you want an MMO where you can ignore the main story to become a master chef or horse breeder, this accommodates that.
