So just let my BDO homies know. I've did the 7 day trial last year, so I have a fair idea what the game is about. But I've literally just full out bought the game.

Most of the industry knows that BDO is on the verge of a minor crisis. Falling player count, Pay-to-Win elements etc etc (Don't want to get into it), I'll just say that there's a reason why the 7 day trial has been reintroduced. The thing is that eventually BDO will go Free-to-Play. I'm not saying it will tomorrow but eventually it will and that's pretty much a certainty. Even the great beast Eve:Online has fallen to the Free-to-Play leviathan.

So, am I going to get my fair shake in this game or am I going to regret spending the cash. I should say I have literally 0 interest in PvP, so being "competitive" doesn't mean anything to me. I just really like the life/work sim elements of the game and the atmosphere (Hence playing Eve:Online). But is there enough PvE, customization and pseudo-story content to keep me interested until this game eventually falls to the Free-to-Play bug?
