Yup, they also do Armored Warfare and a new game called Cloud Pirates. The in house developers of mail.ru is the Allods Team who did Allods Online.
Because it used to be a good game a long time ago even if it was one of the smaller MMOs. On a long enough timeline; most unpopular MMOs become shit in order to drive up enough cash to survive. Nature of the beast.
CBT2 on December 20th We are happy to announce the second Revelation Online CBT which will be taking place from December 20th to January 3rd, 12:00 CET (3am PST)! You will once again be able to join your friends in Nuanor and explore the latest changes that CBT2 has to offer: Localization & Client improvements For the localization, you can expect the full English translation of the storyline up to level 49, including non-level-tied activities such as crafting, dungeons, PvP, and mentoring. Our QA and localization teams are still busy with resolving all the bugs that have been reported via the Bug Tracker. As we near the CBT2 release you can expect most of the bugs to be cleared out so that we can resume a whole new round of testing within a newer version. QA would like to update you on an important fix that hindered your experience during CBT1 which has now been resolved. Memory leaks and missing items in the trade window. Rest assured that all of our efforts will be put into fixing bugs in anticipation of the CBT2 and we would like to thank you again for your precious, indepth reports. QA is looking forward to the next round of bug reports! Character progression preserved As a token of our gratitude, we have decided to give access to CBT2 to all players who have received access to CBT1 by the means of a beta key, lottery or founder packs. Please note that you will be required to download another patch once the CBT2 client has been released. We will not proceed to do any character wipes so you are able to continue to enjoy playing on your characters from CBT1, this will also allow you to jump in and try out the latest changes during the holiday season. If you wish to see the progress in localisation, feel free to create another character, such as the Spiritshaper. Spiritshaper Class To celebrate this great news, we have prepared a new class trailer for you, introducing the Spiritshaper! Armed with healing and psychic abilities, Spiritshapers can call upon spirit beasts and spiritual powers to initiate attacks. CBT2 access & Giveaway Remember, this is a closed beta test, with a limited number of players, and if you are not invited to participate that doesn’t mean you will not be invited to participate in the future beta tests. Keep your eyes peeled on our social media channels and your mailbox as we’ll be giving out keys as we move closer to CBT2. If you don’t feel like leaving things to chance though, you can guarantee your participation in the Closed Beta by purchasing one of the Founder Packs!
