The Best Reasons to Check Out Revelation Online - Revelation Online Previews
Revelation Online just entered Open Beta, and things are already off to a quick start with thousands of players joining in the “no-more-wipes” test. It’s a herculean task to localize a game like Revelation Online, but one thing that shines through the ongoing process is just how many different features RO has at its disposal to make it intriguing for fans of the MMORPG.

that long?
Rofl... You are waaaaay too optimistic. 1 year... I'd be surprised if the game isn't dead within the next 3 months.
This game have literally nothing to offer... It's the first time in my life that I have asked for a refund.
Also loving it how now not being gender locked feels almost like a feature haha.
Flying is okay, but dashing is really great. Clearly, the intent is to give players freedom of movement across the game. You can mount in dungeons, as well. I compare this to the draconian grind that Blizzard imposes on players wanting to fly in WoW and I find WoW's insistence on gating flying behind months of work to be entirely out of step with what I want as a player.
Probably the best thing going for it, from my perspective, is the ability to solo dungeons, which are communal rather than group-instanced. So you can go solo into one, find a group while you're there and join up. I don't know if this is true for all the dungeons, but it is for the early ones.
I'm as cynical as the next long-time MMO player, but I think this one's got legs.

I did not know Blade And Soul died. Currently the 2nd highest game in revenue for NC Soft behind Lineage.
As for the West,
NA currently has 16 Servers
Europe currently as 11 Servers
Blade and Soul is doing fine.
I was really hoping it would be good too~
Im no white knight, but there is so wrong information. Like there is real open world, the problemn the game is designed more like instanced type. Who loved lineage 2 c2 will love this game it has realy good similarities.
We could argue that some of the features is kinda copies from other mmos, but for real, we dont see anything new, just recycled stuff. The gameplay is realy fast paced you need to have reflexes for me better than BnS, well its a matter of opinion.
About p2w i cant argue with that, where i find to a certain degree p2w, it depends what p2w is to us, maybe p2skip. doenst matter my.com is greedy and unfair. Period.
The real problemn is the publisher, my.com who managed this game realy bad. No voice acting, bad to no existent translations. Full of gold sellers, no customer support, etc.
I played every closed beta to max level along with Chinese servers to 69.
The game has a huge open world but you really don't do anything in most of it aside from the insanely long story line quests that might have you go through parts of it.
That bring up another issue I had with the game. The amount of questing they have you do is out of this world crazy. Cut scenes that you can't skip half the time.
Far more negatives about this game than positives personally.
The combat is awkward though, since it's a hybrid tab-target and action-combat. The questing is annoying, since it forces you to hit Spacebar after every dialogue.
Firstly the cash shop is open to everyone and no you dont need to spend a penny, as ingame currency can be used to buy other players cash shop money.
There is nothing i have found (other than costumes that have 0 stats on them) in the cash shop that i haven' t been able to get very easy from the vendors, yes you might need rep, but rep is easily gained by just doing a few flying around dailies.
The game does have flaws, but in about 15-20 MMO that i have played in cbt/obt i have not found one that doesn't have a flaw
If someone would like to link me an item they consider P2W - and by that definition something that is gained by cash shop only and not in game then i will concede my point, ,but as of yet i have not come across that and all my items / gear has been gained via ingame currency/work/crafting.

This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game
where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

Pay 2 Win does not mean the only way to obtain said item is by paying money. P2W literally means you pay money to gain an advantage which in Revelation Online that is 100% true to the most extreme definition.
You can literally turn real life cash into in game cash.
You can buy an unlimited amount of Ausgyth Points which is one of the hardest currencies to get in the game and is basically used for all aspects of character progression.
In a game where gear out weights skill heavily... being able to progress your gear to end game in a matter of days through the cash shop rather than months through playing the game is extremely pay 2 win.

Not sure if your question is serious or not... but in a game where gear plays such a defining role in your ability to progress. Being able to pay to progress that gear quicker just means all other progression is that much quicker / easier.
Also try doing Open World PvP / Guild Battles / Instanced PvP as someone whos gear is +5 - +10 against people who payed money to get their gear to +15. You will literally feel like your doing nothing productive against anyone.
They ban def people from forum for posting screenshot of Virustotal scan, it's telling a bunch.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
Will be interesting to see how its doing during the summer when ESO and FF come out with their expansions.
