Same, I have loads of 7 day passes.
Also, if you play this game sporadically and havent been on recently, make sure you swing in sometime soon, the 2 Year Anniversary event is underway and everyone got a box in the mail with a random piece of boss armor.

You don't need a trial key anymore, I think they actually took them out. Just go to Black Desert Online and you're off and running.
If you do decide you like the game, post here again and someone will probably gift the game to you (if no one here bites, someone on the BDO Reddit definitely will). There's in game bonuses (a pet or pearls) for people who gift an account to someone who levels to at least 30.

Basically you get 7 days free for making a BDO account. You can get 7 days more with an trial key. But Nyx is right, if you get to 30 someone will gift you the base game if you ask (they get a pet that you cannot buy in the in game store, or pearls).
I have been playing BDO for about two months now. I love the game but there are a few things you want to buy from the in game store to enjoy the game - pets for example (auto loot) and some weight.

2 hours in as a Ninja. This game is definitely an asian mmo. First impressions are that the game is super cluttered. From mob density to ui to icons over npcs heads. Its also very hard to find sidequests as the tiny icon on the minimap seems hard to notice. Hard to tell wtf is going on. Super on rails too. Im level 15 now. Im not liking it so far, but will keep playing to see if it gets better or I learn it more. It looks nothing like the videos I saw so Im hoping it gets better.

It's a bit weird from the start. First off you want to turn off all the stupid notifications that keeps popping up (trade/enchant/marketplace etc) to get some peace and quiet. You want to finish the Black Spirit main quest to unlock gear enchanting (very important) and you'll get access to the fairy pet once you finish the main story up to lvl 50.
I don't like the questing, but the combat and gear system in this game is really what keeps me playing. Ninja is pretty strong 1vs1 pvp and Musa is really strong in PVE. I switched my main from a Dark Knight to a Musa just because I love grinding as one.

There is a lot to take in at first, but getting to lvl52 as a new player is pretty mindless, so that can allow you to branch out and learn the Lifeskill systems which will help you a lot later on. Do all the quests which the Black Spirit gives you, they will take throughout the "old world" showing you various grind spots (which you'll outlvl almost immediately), and give you items (inventory space) and gear. It can get kinda tedious from 48-52 doing those quests, but you need to do them to unlock stuff like Campsites, Fairy, and a couple pieces of gear that will last you a long time (Roaring Chest / Offhand).
Play the Ninja til like 30 or so, if you don't like it, switch to Musa. The Ninja is a pretty technical class after it awakens, while the Musa is pretty much the best grinder class and its fun (if a bit boring). If you think you'll like the game, watch some guides about Worker Empires so you can get some passive income while grinding. If you're still playing after your trial is over, join a Large guild so you can get even more login bonuses (a free pet).

Imagine dungeons with BDO combat.. HNNNNNNNG. It's hard to care about PvP when you lag 900% of the time through it and play Giant but can't do any Giant things because desync. Apparently they just updated to new servers but for some reason I'm sure it doesn't make a difference.
