Crimson Desert has been scratching this itch slightly.

@68000 It has me thinking of maybe trying Black Desert. I got it for free some time ago. But for now CD will keep me busy for a longtime time

@yesiamroy I've considered trying it again. It's been a good while since I played it though. I think I quit because it felt like a part time job with the level of grind involved. That, and the gear upgrade system was extremely RNG based. I don't know if it's still like that or not.
