Daum Games is now offering name reservations for those who have preordered Black Desert Online, saying they will continue to pre-sell the upcoming MMORPG though February 26th. They also offer details on the second beta test for the game, saying this will run from February 18-22. This is open to all preorder customers, but anyone who wants in can also sign up here to try and snag an invitation, and anyone who wants can still download and play with their character creator. Here are some pertinent details:

Players who have pre-ordered the Explorer’s or Conqueror’s package will be automatically entered in the second Closed Beta Test, which runs from February 18 at 8:00 a.m. UTC to February 22 at the same time. Anyone else can still register on the sign-up page for a chance to participate.

Daum Games has collected feedback from the community during the first Beta test in December and has made several improvements to the game. Players jumping into the second Closed Beta next week will be able to observe the following changes and features:

• Revamped Karma system, which balances player kills and death penalties
• Addition of voiceovers
• French and German localization
• Addition of tutorial videos
• Adjustments to experience gain
• Maximum player level of 55
• Improved user interface

There will also be a number of scheduled in-game events happening throughout the Beta phase. More details will be revealed on the official forums at a later date.
