Tap is horrible for a game this beautiful... always blocking the screenby tapping what a waste...
If you want tap to move try click to move over on PC.

That's why I said "options". Having both options would be nice in my opinion. The joystick is almost always on screen tapping doesn't obstruct your view unless you leave your hand on screen... Which is odd lol To each his/her own.

Is it online?

First of all; it ain't p2w. get rid of that thought. Not this mobile version, not black desert online for the pc. Yes, it's gender locked, not like aion where you can choose gender for all classes. I play BDO myself since the 2nd closed beta, on EU server. It's b2p. There is a shop yes and some things does make things a bit easier, like the valuepack. However, to be able to do pvp and gear yourself you simply have to play the game and find yourself a good guild for that. Cause over in the shop you won't find items which gives you that kind of advantage. It's more pay for convenience. Alot of things can be get from events, such as pets and horses.
With this one, black desert mobile, it's even easier to get on your feet. You don't need the shop at all. Only thing is that this mobile version is lesser played then the pc version and a couple of classes ain't there, as well as the town of olvia. Each to it's own, but i prefer joystick controls. Not a fan of tapping.
