How To Register For Black Desert Online’s Russian Beta Test

The open beta has commenced for the Russian beta of Black Desert Online, hosted by Gamenet and designed by Pearl Abyss. The game’s beta may be in Russian but it’s not region locked like some of the other beta tests that have taken place in Japan and Korea.

Given that the beta is in Russian not every player out there may know how to register and start downloading Black Desert Online. There’s a quick new walkthrough from an Online VPN blog that describes how to register for the beta and apply the English language translation patch. There’s also a ping test so you can see how the game runs on the Russian servers from YouTuber rendermax. Check it out below.

In the description rendermax mentions…

“My ping playing local games in Europe usually varies from 50~100 so for me 130ms is ok. Maybe people with better ISP can get even better times.

“Also tried the English patch and now seems it’s fully translated, but I think some parts are google translated, like the cutscene subtitles, anyways it’s pretty cool and makes things much more easier now, kudos to the people working on it”

So first up, you can get the English translation patch for the Russian version of Black Desert Online by downloading it from Dropbox. This comes courtesy of Reddit user MuxaHuk who posted up a thread with each of the English translation patches for Black Desert Online in the game’s sub-Reddit.

After you get the English patch hang on to it because you’ll need to register for a Russian account on the official https://gamenet.ru/register/ website. As the image below showcases, you’ll need to insert your e-mail address and password.

In the next screen you’ll need to choose a nickname for your account and the url for your nickname. It can be the same or it can be different.

In the next step you can either upload a photo for your account avatar or you can press the second button on the right to skip that step.

Lastly you can input your personal information (but if you don’t want the Russian mafia to know where you live you can press the second button to the right to skip that step as well).

After you download the beta follow the instructions in the English translation patch to install the English text and then proceed to play the game and create your ultimate waifu or husbando. You can check out the game’s create a character with the video below, courtesy of Epihx and Extheleon..
