Black Desert Online Introduces The House Fame System

We're only a week away from the launch of Black Desert Online's Margoria expansion, but that isn't stopping Kakao Games Europe and Pearl Abyss from introducing new features. Today's patch introduces the House Fame system, which allows players to receive "a variety of daily benefits" that are dependent upon their House's Fame score, which is the sum of the Fame scores of each individual character who bears your family name.

There are three Fame categories: Combat Fame, Life Fame, and Special Fame. Combat Fame and Life Fame are dependent upon "your character's combat and life levels," respectively. Special Fame is dependent upon "your knowledge and contribution points."

Due to the fact that your House's Fame score is a sum of the Fame scores of every character bearing your family name, the system encourages players to level up multiple characters in order to receive more rewards. It's an interesting way of encouraging alts, albeit encouraging alts in any way, shape, or form may be somewhat counter-intuitive in a game like Black Desert Online.
