Black Desert

Which edition would you recommend to buy?
I am on the edge of buying Black Desert Online since it seems like a good mmo without additional monthly fees which would be optimal for casual play.
So naturally I was wondering, which edition is the best to buy.
Either the standard, traveler or explorer?
Are the more expensive versions worth their money or do they just contain stuff I get in 1 week of playing anyway?
Also maybe is should have wrote it in the first place, do you recommend the game and if yes how's the community?

just a comment on your `` optimal for casual players ``

in grinding zones you will be 1 shoted cause you play casually
and most other players will be outgearing you without a sweat

progression without spending money into the game goes so slow that you will basicly
reach endgame in world of warcraft faster then you would be getting to ``softcap`` in this game

in other words grinding zones are limited cause of competition
your progression goes slow
and players hunt you at the lower zones just for the fun
and there is no trade between players.

but before playing the game actually you must complete the entire main story questline
:) its gonna take you 3 days which you will never forgot ever again cause
its so easy and boring that you will fall asleep partway the questline
but y need to do it to progress faster in gear

owh yea forgot to mention everything in this game is RNG :)
probly the worst enchanting system ive seen in any mmorpg so far
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now the good parts

this game has the best grapics of any mmorpg so far
the seas look beautiful
you can join guilds and form partys
pvp for a casual is out of the question unless you played casual for years
then you would be having the required gear to make it in pvp ;D
there are world bosses !
field bosses !
guild bosses !
scroll bosses!
no dungeons ! XD
hovering horses with wings ``pegasus``
blazing horses like from the game doom `` infernal horses ``
you get 4 pets for free !
you can get somtimes outfits for free !
more then 15 classes !
best character creation !
WEEBS ! also alot of those

there are more good things but i am too tired to write them all out

thank you both for your answers!

does that mean it's always PVP?

I'd say standard would be fine, but with the big sale going on, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the more expensive versions right now. I recently started, but I'm really enjoying the game so far

It sounds really weird to just pvp anywhere after level 50 but its probably designed the way that it is not completely impossible to continue playing i guess haha.
Because if it was that you guys wouldn't have many thousand hours in the game :P

Don't worry about people killing you. You lose nothing when people kill you and people would not kill you for no reason. There is a thing called Karma, you lose karma when you kill another player, and when your karma goes negative, you would risk losing exp and crystals when you die.

I've had 2 people tried to attack me in my first month. First was I was standing in my farm in Olvia, right after the patch where it went full pve. Literally just ran up to me with weapon out, and then when he realized you couldn't flag there anymore, he just ran. Not even a hello to try and hide it.

2nd was today on the way to the event npc in another server. I had instant accel so their slow aoe couldn't hit me.

Anyways, pvp is disabled on Olvia servers. So as long you are new/returning player (gone for 31 days), you can get in there and pve forever. Heck, I'd still be there if comcast hadn't decided to roll out an update which restarted my modem and booted me off.
