<p><em>Daum Games</em> has announced that the Beta testing for the much-anticipated MMORPG, <em>Black Desert Online</em>, will begin on the 16<sup>th</sup> of December and last until the 22<sup>nd</sup> of the same month.</p>
<p>Much like with the Alpha testing, Beta players will be able to choose from the Wizard, Warrior, Sorceress, Berserker, and Ranger classes. Additionally, they are very happy to announce that the popular Tamer class will also be included in the list of playable classes when the Beta rolls around.</p>
<p>The Tamer can call upon the help of Heilang, the divine beast, to aid them in battle, but can also go solo and unleash lethal combo-attacks with the help of divine forces.</p>

<p>Also in <em>Black Desert Online</em>, the Calpheon region, which includes its major city of the same name, will make its debut in the Beta. The region is a mostly rural area, and one of <em>Black Desert Online’s </em>most expansive, promising landscapes just waiting to be explored.</p>
