A heads-up that Pearl Abyss is taking over publishing responsibilities from Kakao (and Steam) for BDO on NA/EU.

The in game announcements are loud and persistent, but this requires someone to log in and not have put the game aside for the time being.

It also means you have to be checking whatever email you use for the game. You could easily completely miss it and lost everything.

I didn't see anything from Steam regarding this and only found out indirectly through a post linked in the EVE Online forum. They don't seem to be good at communication.

Kakao Games bids a fond farewell to fans as Black Desert publishing officially changes hands to Pearl Abyss | Massively Overpowered

A good move since many considered Kakao Games as being way too greedy in the pearl shop compared to Pearl Abyss.

I never looked into the Pear Shop but I learned recently they had temporary appearance items.

Like what the hell? I get selling cosmetics, but ones that only last for a few weeks? That's stupid.

The issue is that in Europe, where Kakao Games ran the show, they are famous for being too greedy in that shop compared to Pearl Abyss.

Sometimes some stuff which had to be crafted to make PVP had as ingredients cosmetics from that shop, with no replacement.

For example, just take a look at this discussion over here - these are legion: https://forums.eveonline.com/t/steam-reviews-for-pearl-abyss-bdo-from-may-june-aug-this-year/105012/3

I looked I to the shop a bit after the roll over, just to see what special deal they kept pushing.

Maybe I am reading it wrong, because there seems to be a couple of layers of game currency, but wow this stuff is expensive.

I went in thinking, "Hey, I have been enjoying this game the past month, maybe I will spend a bit and get some fancy clothes."

But it's basically $10 for 1000 Special coins, which seems to translate 1:1 to Pearls, which makes some of these limited time packages like $50-$100 each.

And I though the GTA V cash shop was bad, at least you can get GTA cash by playing, so far I have not seen any way to get Pearls in game.
