Black Desert Online free or not?

[thunderman822]

I've been told that BDO is free right now. When I type it up in the search bar, it shows free, but when I click in to the game page, it says I need to pay. Can somebody tell me if this is a bug or something I can fix? Or is this regional?

If you mean:



Although it has been free a few times, it is currently buy to play.
