Black Desert Online Translation Error Results In Very Angry Players

Whoever thought that a small typo during localization can have huge consequences? Kakao Games found this out the hard way when a minor translation error for a Black Desert Online guild event resulted in a guild reward fiasco and a lot of angry players.

A few weeks ago, Kakao ran a massive guild PvP event called Operation Guild Support promising 3 billion Silver for constructing a Guild Fort in Node Wars and 7 billion Silver for building a Command Post or Guild Fort in Conquest Wars. Apparently, they mistakenly added an extra zero to the promised amount during localization because come payday, the studio announced that they were only going to award 300 million and 700 million respectively.

Unsurprisingly, this caused an uproar, with affected guilds and players claiming that the reward, once split, won’t even be enough to cover their costs to participate in the said event. Kakao has handed out Golden Bells as compensation but players still feel that they’ve been cheated, regardless of whether it was an error or not, and have resorted to voicing their frustrations on Reddit.
