Why did they have to make it cartoony?

Accessibility (lower pc specs requirement) allows for greater playerbase
Development (fewer polys means faster modeling and potentially faster texturing)
DLC/shop skins (cartoony means faster creation of shop items - think TF2 hats)

well it's also a very low-budget engine and the entire concept saves them from having to design the endless quests and raid experiences that take up a huge amount of development time in traditional mmo's. Then there's the ability to iterate infinitely on balance which means that you don't need the level of testing that other games do.

basically it's actually in the grand scheme of things an exceedingly inexpensive mmo to make.

Cartoon graphics age significantly better as well.

Here's some very quick info: Currently in pre-alpha, test access (I guess only Alpha 3 and more expensive pledges currently) is rather expensive BUT there will be open beta "this winter" i.e. free tests = it's enough to just register on the site.

I estimate it will launch sometime 2017, likely not in the first half. Black desert has more realistic graphics, and that's it. Content and tech-wise, BDO is already dated game compared to Crowfall or Camelot Unchained, nothing against BDO - simply these are next gen, made much later.

Comparison CF to CU, impossible in just couple words...for what it's worth, CU is topping my list and CF is on the close second place. with loads of empty space behind

PS while I'm here, siege tests (voxel destruction!) began - here's some player made fotage (it's still early, rough, missing...yadda...you know it all):

They just added $6M to their budget, making it $20 million total and counting!

People just won't stop throwing money on this, maybe we're witnessing the birth of a baby Star Citizen!?
