Revelation Online Closed Beta Test have finally started! With CBT getting delayed,
moved from October 25th to November 3, this did not only increase the hype but also gave us enough time to prepare for what is the game have to offer! Like the gigantic turtle, ship, fortress, whatever, above,
Revelation Online does have a gigantic world to explore!
Before jumping into the game, I suggest that you go through the simple
checklist and guide i made below:
1: You need a My.com account of course and you can register
HERE.
2: Make sure that you verify your account by clicking "
CONFIRM REGISTRATION" on the confirmation mail sent on your registered email. Please also check your spam box if you can’t see the email on your inbox.
The mail looks like this:
And this:
3: Log in with your account by using your registered email as the username and make sure that you enter your password correctly or
you might get locked out.
4: Since Revelation Online CBT requires you to either have activated a
FREE CBT1 Key or
Purchased a founders pack (which grants full access on all CBT and early access). Please make sure that your account is CBT ready by checking your profile
HERE.
You either have the badge of a "
Test Subject" or a
Founders badge.
5: You may download the Revelation Online CBT Client from
HERE.
Minimum and suggested Requirements are:
Revelation Online opened through My.com game center which is known to cause latency issues due to its peer to peer download/upload mechanics. If you are having issues or wants to avoid the latency issue, please check out the guide below.
1: Open the
My.com game center by double clicking the icon on your desktop. Please log-in with your email and password afterwards.
2: On the upper left corner of the My.com game center, click [
My.com] then click "
Settings".
![]()
3: There are 3 options that you want to
UNCHECK on the "
General" tab of the My.com Game Center Settings.
UNCHECK "Start automatically when you log in to Windows" as this is known to slow down the booting speed of your computer.
UNCHECK "Continue distributing when download has ended" since the My.com game center uses a peer to peer file sharing download/upload, this option allows uploading/sharing of files even if you already finished downloading. Also commonly called "Seeding".
Set "Limit upload speed" value to
20 KB/sec. Putting this option on "
No Limit" while "
Continue Distributing.." is checked means that you allow the application to use ALL available upload speed to "
seed" the files to other players, which of course causes latency and instability on your game while playing.
Click "
OK" afterwards.
Please take note that My.com game center also provides video recording and streaming. Please check the "
Video Capture" and "
Video Broadcast" tabs for more details.
Server Selection
After completely downloading and patching the Revelation Online CBT game client, you may choose either "
North America" or "
Europe" server on the My.com game center.
Click the "
PLAY" button afterwards.
The
My.com game center will automatically "
hide" once the Revelation Online game client is opened. You may exit the My.com game center afterwards.
![]()
The window below should show the available Servers. Please select "
my.com" then select the available server on the "
Server List" then click "
Enter"
PLEASE DO NOT CLICK "
Refresh" BUTTON! The server list will go hay wire if you do!
You’ve been warned!

6 available class buttons below. Front left to right,

Character Gender and Body Type Options:
After selecting the class, you will be able to choose freely between male and female. You may also have the option to select a different "Body type". Some classes have more body type options than the others, but the advanced customization does enable you to get what is not available at front.
OCCULTIST:
If you want a teen age or LoLi girl Occultist then you have it easy as the options are already available, however if you want a teen age or LoLi boy Occultist, then you better check the "Making a LoLi Boy" guide below.
SPIRIT SHAPER:
Spirit Shaper body option for mature male and female is not available. Also the male gender lacks the much younger body option. Check the "Making a mature character" and "Making a LoLi Boy" Guide below.
VANGUARD:
The class again lacks the younger male body option. It also lacks the teen age male and female body option.
BLADEMASTER:
After a flashy action packed entry, this class lacks the options for LoLi boy and girl, and also lacks the option for a mature woman body type.
GUNSLINGER:Jumping off from a mobile suit? Seriously? What a Show off! This one lacks both LoLi boy and girl and also lacks the teen age body type for male gender.
SWORDMAGE:
The class lacks the LoLi boy and girl too. Also I'm torn between labeling her as a "Mature Woman" or a "Teen age girl"... so better put "WoW Woman" coz she have the aura of a woman and makes you WoW just by staring at her. *cough* *wifu material* *cough*
How to make a "LoLi Boy" & "Loli Girl" Guide:
No options to make a much younger looking male character? Don't worry! Just follow the steps below:

LoLi Boy with
LoLi Girl Characters lolz
Please take note that for a limited duration you can still customize your character even if you already leveled it up. So far my character is now level 39 and it's been 2 days since i created it, but still I can click customize and change its appearance. Just select the character you want to re-customize, then click "
Customize" button at the bottom of the character list.
For Character Deletion, I was able to delete WoW Woman immediately but it seems like the other characters needs some time to get deleted ( is that 6 days? )
If someone can translate the message above, that will be a great help!
On the next page... Game Controls!
Game Controls:
After waking up and entering the game world for the first time, you will be given 3 Control Mode to choose from.
1: Keyboard mode: Movement are your usual W, A, S, D keys and Tab Targeting or Click on target. Skills are on your 1 to 9 keys etc. Left mouse button is used to select your target while the right mouse button is used to control the camera. Mouse wheel for zoom in and zoom out. Space Bar is for Jumping and performing lightness skills, same with shift key which is also used for dodging.
2: Mouse Control: Movement can also be controlled by using W, A, S, D and left click while the right mouse button is used to control the camera. Skills are on 1 to 9 etc., special skills are on F1 to F6. Space bar and Shift for jumping and lightness skill, also for dodging.
3: Action Control: The most difficult control mode. The camera is locked and moved via mouse movement. Your target is selected by the center crosshair, skills are from button1 to 5, Q, E, R, T, G. Right and Left mouse buttons cast normal attacks, F1 to F6 holds your special skills. Targeting might be a little trickier, but once you discovered that the "Tab" key actually LOCKS the target, then you can attack even if you are not facing your enemy.
Suggested Control Mode: Definitely Keyboard Control. Also, please change or remove your Shortcut Bar Shift+ (Number Key 1,2,3 etc) key combination, you will find the answer on the lightness skill guide below.
You may access or change your control mode by pressing the "
ESC" on your keyboard or by clicking the "
Settings" button in-game, click "
Controls" to open the control selection menu.
Lightness Skills:
Double Jump,
Triple Jump, Wind Glide, Water Walk/Run, Dash, Dodging... you can all do this upon getting into the game world. You do not need to do some quest to achieve them, however some tutorial quest does teach you how and when to do/use them.
But before we start, you should first remember what "
Levity" Points is.
Yep, that’s the bar with a blue thingy and a number which indicates the remaining Levity points. Certain situations (in/out of combat) and certain lightness skills/movements consumes certain amounts of Levity Points. You should always be mindful of your remaining Levity points especially when fighting boss monsters or in PvP!Normal Jump and Double Jump: You can do this both by pressing
space bar which is the default
jump button. Normal Jump and Double jump does not consume Levity Points.
Dash: You can dramatically increase your running, swimming, flying/gliding speed by pressing Shiftwhich is the default Dash Key combined with press and hold W which is your default forward move key. You may combine Shift+ press and hold W +A or +D for left and right Dash. Dash Consumes 5 Levity points per second, thus a 100 Levity Points will keep you dashing continually for 20 seconds (I used a stop watch lolz). You can Dash while running on land/water/rooftops, swimming, riding a horse and while flying. However please take note that you cannot use dash run while in combat. So don’t expect that you can just dash away after poking something/someone! Water Running/Dash: uses the same key combination as your normal dash, Shift + press and hold W. This lightness skill enabled you to run and glide on top of bodies of water.
Triple/Quad/Multiple Jump: Thanks to the multi jump
even without wings you can reach very high altitude. First you need to activate Dash by pressing shift key + W, then press space bar multiple times. With 100 Levity Points I can dash and jump 6-8 times and reach 4-5+ story high. Cannot be used while in combat.Dodging: Boss Monsters and PvP fights is where dodging shines the most. Being able to avoid a certain attack might spell the difference between survival and death. Dodging can simply be done by
double tapping any of your movement keys, W, A, S, D or you by pressing the
Shift key in combination with a sudden tap on any of your movement keys. You may perform a dodge in and out of combat, however each situation does consume a different amount of Levity points.
Out of combat, dodging consumes 10 Levity points, thus with a full Levity you may perform 10 or more Dodge moves, perfect for practicing your dodging skills. However,
while in combat, Dodging consumes 50 Levity points! So learn and master when and where to dodge as it is very important and expensive thing to do.
Also, please remove/change your "
Shortcut Bar" Shift+(Numbers 1,2,3 and so on) key combination because while fighting a boss or in PvP, especially for long range class, you will experience pressing shift+movement key + skill 1,2,3 etc to perform dodge then cast skill which will surely be ruined if you have your Shortcut bar key combinations set to shift+(numbers). User ALT+(Numbers) instead.
You may change your Shortcut Bar key combinations by pressing the
ESC on your keyboard or by clicking the "
Settings" icon on the lower right corner of the screen. Then click "
Controls", on your selected control mode click on "
Quick Operation" then scroll down and change your "
Shortcut Bar" key combinations. Click "
Confirm" to apply the changes.
Flying: On early levels you will have a taste of how it feels like to have wings and soar through the sky. At an early level of 29, you will have your very own wings. To fly, simple make sure that you equipped your wings, press "C" for your default Char Window Key then look at the lower right corner of your equipment window. Then click the "Fly Icon" on your shortcut bar, yes description is still in Chinese
Or you can do Jump/Double jump then double tap W key, which will burst your wings into being, or double tap W key when you are gliding or after doing a water break.
Reach for the Stars: This is done while flying, just press and hold your Space Bar then tap the Shift key. Your character will continually Dash fly vertically and Reach for the Stars!
Cheesy huh?! haha!
Free Fall Damage: This is the damage your character receives when it drops from a very high altitude to a hard surface in a free fall status, without using Wind Glide or Dash Jump.
The question is... can you die due to Free Fall Damage? Well.....That’s a pretty cold YES! Curiosity Kills!
To avoid Free Fall Damage, you can double tap W to spread your wings or do a Wind Glide before your character hits the floor.
Swimming and Dash Swim: Revelation Online is indeed an open world game. You can climb mountains, fly to very high altitude and you can also dive deep under water.
Swimming is as it is, while Dash swimming is by
double tapping W or
W + double tap Shift while swimming. You know when you are Dash Swimming when the Levity bar is active/decreasing.
You might notice a brown/golden bar on top, well that’s the Breath Bar and it basically shows how much remaining breath your character have.Now the question is, will your character die if it loses all its breath? Well...I'm sure you already know the answer...
By the time your Breath Bar empties, your character HP will start to decrease, around 5% per second, so around 20 seconds your character will be dead!
Break Water and Leap to the Sky: Another cheesy name huh?! While swimming or dashing on top of water, Tap W + press and hold W (your char is now Dashing) then press Spare Bar twice, then tap W + press and hold W again. This will keep your character on Fly-Dash state.
With the ability to venture on any part of the game world, exploring every crook and cranny may even become a great advanture on its own.
