Notice
Greetings, Adventurer!
This is the Black Desert Mobile Service Team.
As announced during Heidel Ball 2025, we would like to share more details about the upcoming server merge
for Japan, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau, and Global (Asia) through the UNITED SERVER update.
At Black Desert Mobile Studio, we've long strived to create an environment where Adventurers from around the world can play together in the same space.
However, physical distance led to unavoidable network delays and latency issues, so we have been providing services by region.
However, technology has now advanced enough to allow some neighboring regions to play together,
and we believe that an MMORPG like Black Desert Mobile will be even more enjoyable when Adventurers from diverse cultures gather and play together.
With the O.N.E. August: UNITED SERVER update, Adventurers from around the world will come together,
interact, and occasionally compete, for more exciting gameplay that gives "One New Experience".
The UNITED SERVER update will be carried out during maintenance on August 19, 2025 (Tue).
Please refer to the information provided for further details.

Duplicate Family and Guild Names
- There cannot be duplicate Family or Guild names within a server, and the following measures will be taken
at the time of the UNITED SERVER update for Adventurers with duplicate Family or Guild names.
Example 1) If there are Adventurers in each region using the Family Name "BlackDesert"
Previous Server | Family Name after UNITED SERVER |
Japan | BlackDesertJP |
Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau | BlackDesertTHM |
Global (Asia) | BlackDesertSA |
Example 2) If there are Guilds in each region using the Guild Name "Pearlabyss"
기존 서버 | 연합 후 가문명 |
Japan | PearlabyssJP |
Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau | PearlabyssTHM |
Global (Asia) | PearlabyssSA |
※ Adventurers whose Family or Guild Name is changed due to duplication will receive a Family Name Change Coupon and Guild Name Change Coupon x1 via Mailbox on the day of the server merge.
※ If you wish to use your previous Family or Guild Name again, you can use the Change Coupon to apply for the name change.
Game Content
- Content schedule will be changed after the UNITED SERVER update.
・Most content will still be available as before.
※ Any important details such as temporary restrictions of certain content will be provided in a separate notice before the update.
Chat Translation Feature
Adventurers on the Global server used a variety of languages, which sometimes made communication difficult in urgent situations,
and Adventurers from more regions will be brought together through the UNITED SERVER update, from Japan and Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau.
To make it easier for Adventurers from different regions to chat and enjoy the game together,
a chat translation feature will be added with the update on August 19 (Tue).
The automatic translation may not always be perfectly accurate,
but we hope it makes chatting with others more accessible than before.
▲ Automatic translation
▲ When [View Original] is selected in Settings
- Alongside the UNITED SERVER update, a chat translation feature will also be added to the Americas and Europe servers.
■ Serviced Languages available for Translation by Region
Americas: English, Spanish, Portuguese
Europe: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Russian
Asia: English, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Japanese
- This feature will first be applied to Guild, Blood Kin, Group, Party, and Whisper chats, and messages will be automatically translated into the serviced languages in each region.
・If your language isn't supported, you will be able to view the translations in English.
・If you want the original message shown simultaneously, toggle [Settings → View Original] to choose whether to display only the translated message or both the original and translated messages.
※ More details will be provided in a future patch note.
Information Regarding Guest Accounts
Guest account data will remain unchanged.
However, for your account’s safety, we strongly recommend linking your account.
QnA
Q. What will happen to Season Characters?
A. All current Season Character data will be retained. The Season Pass can be continued and completed under the same conditions as before the server merge.
Q. Will monster zones become overcrowded after the server merge?
A. In Black Desert Mobile, additional monster fields are automatically generated once a certain number of Adventurers enter a zone, preventing overcrowding.
Example) If there are 20 available spots in the Star's End monster zone and more than 15 Adventurers enter a single field, a new field will be generated, and subsequent Adventurers will enter the new field.
Q. What will happen to multiplayer content?
A. With the three servers merging, you’ll be able to enjoy content like Co-op Rush and Battlefield of the Sun with even more Adventurers.
Q. What will happen to Friends and Blood Kin?
A. They will remain unaffected and will not be reset.
Q. What about benefits that are only applied for a certain period, such as Daily Pearls?
A. These benefits will remain active until the update maintenance and will be extended by the maintenance duration.
A list of affected benefits is provided below.
Thank you.
