Future of the Russian Version of Black Desert Online Hangs in the Balance

The Russian version of Black Desert Online hangs in the balance. The official RU BDO forum has a new post from the team that informs players that the contract with Pearl Abyss ends on October 12th and that, while negotiations are still ongoing between GameNet and Pearl Abyss, servers may go offline on that date pending a restart “outside the platform”. At this time there is no word on how the discussions between the two companies is going.
