Black Desert Online KR Will Begin IP Blocking March 3rd

With the launch of Black Desert Online's combined NA/EU service just around the corner, Daum has announced that an IP block will be in place on the Korean service beginning March 3rd. This IP block will be active for "certain foreign IP addresses," most likely corresponding to other regions in which the game has an official service.

This is unfortunate for those who have been playing on the Korean service for some time now, but not unexpected. With the official English service launching next week, it was only a matter of time until they announced an IP block. You will still be able to get around the block with a VPN, but hopefully displaced users will be able to find a home on the NA/EU service.
