Huge MMORPG Black Desert Online is currently available for just $1

MMORPGs can be hard to get into. Speaking from my experience with Final Fantasy 14, there's always so much to do and not enough time to do it. Between a main story, side quests, social activities, raids, gear grinding, and PvP, the prospect of entering a new world is nothing short of daunting. Add an asking price and a required monthly subscription to all that, and it's even harder to get started. If you're looking for a new MMO or want to dive into the genre for the first time though, I have an answer for you. Black Desert Online is currently discounted to just $1, and it doesn't require a subscription to keep playing.
