Black Desert Russian beta begins October 12, no IP block

Russian publisher Gamenet is about to launch the Black Desert Online open beta on October 12, 2015 (thanks Black-Desert.com). Players who have purchased the high-tier Founder's Packs have a three days headstart, beginning October 5, while players with the lower-tier Founder's Packs will be able to get in the game on October 8.

The Russian version of Black Desert Online won't have a region block, so everyone will be able to play in the open beta – just don't forget to brush up on your Russian.
