This past week was pretty rough for the BDO Faction. We lost a group of our most active players (and recent KGB Knights) because KGB was not actively participating in Black Desert Online. They have played with us in past games and expected to see a LOT more active folks to show up and support the game once Valencia and the sieging (Node Wars) had begun. Sadly, this has not been the case (for many reasons I suppose). With the onset of sieges; KGB was only able to field 10-15 players vs. 30 or more for alliance or opponent guilds:

"We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell"

With the loss of those 6; we are now looking at bringing under 10 Knights to the fight. Just after working so hard to claim a node in the BDO sieges - we simply can't sustain the numbers of players participating in KGB to maintain our seat with the alliance either.

This is NOT what I wanted to do; but as a High Chancellor I must listen to the Officers/Knights that are actively playing in the Faction that I represent. After discussion with the BDO officers and active KGB members; the BDO players are going to move over to one of our allied guilds called "Lethality". Lethality shares our core KGB values and have a larger and active player base in-game; more so than others that we looked at. Additionally, they have a PVE / Sister guild for folks whom are building their character/gear up or not interested in PVP as much. There will be a LOT more players to interact with in the guild from all time zones. As a result there will be more folks to run groups, scrolls, and game with.

Once folks have migrated over or have been dropped from the roles, the GM position will be transferred over to an account that was provided by Helemoto for KGB to use. We will keep the KGB guild alive there for future use if more people decide to join us in playing. But until we get the numbers and active participation up; we simply cannot sustain or represent our KGB tag in Black Desert Online.

Lethality requirements: < link >

The two divisions: < PVP > or < PVE/Sister Guild >

When applying, put (KGB) after your player name.. that will get you bumped to ASAP processing.

NOTE: Lethality does have STRICT requirements for participation and being in TeamSpeak, if you do not - you WILL be dropped.

I will be contacting the Knights whom currently logging into BDO, but not using TS, and let them know of the change. Conscripts that are still non-compliant with our TeamSpeak requirements will be dropped from KGB Faction in BDO. That way we will not have anyone flying the KGB name in BDO that is non-representative.

Hopefully, this is just a temporary thing - but I need to make certain that our ACTIVE BDO members do have someplace to play the game that they enjoy!

Any questions/concerns, voice them below or PM me.
