There are currently 2 new themes for the Realm Server homepage, a new "Forest Green" theme and a red theme are now in use.

Additionally, a new game manual has poped up which contains quite a bit of new information for everyone; from Character Creation to Smithing to a new beastiary, you just can't go wrong ;).

I'm glad that NG is finally bringing the Realm Server homepage into a new light, I can't wait to see what other updates they have in store for their loyal customers.

You'll need to give Doolin a piece of Cheese to complete this quest, but it's not that hard since he's a food vendor...

Doolin can be found at the entrance to The Temple Gardens which is EL 6l 1d.

In laymens terms:
1. Go to Doolin.
2. Click on Doolin and choose "Talk"
3. Ask if he'd like a piece of cheese.
4. Hit "I'll Do It" then "ok" and buy a piece of cheese from Doolin.
5. Give Doolin the piece of cheese that you just bought from him.
6. You will be rewarded with one of 4 random statues.]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2006 03:24:51 PDT Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=79 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=76
Be on the lookout for 1k, 10k, and the rare 100k experiance baubles (thats 1/10th of a level, 1 level, and 10 levels). Additionally the treasure table has been set to drop 2x as many items, and EXP should be increased by 2-3x.]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2006 02:57:17 PDT Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=76 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=73 Compensation Thread]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2006 04:55:31 PDT Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=73 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=71

I've also heard of a "new" forest! The portal to "Thistlebark Forest" can be found at: 5L 14D 1L 1D of CF TP]]> Fri, 19 May 2006 03:57:55 PDT Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=47 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=45 TheNarrator: Three-hundred years ago, the race of Orc was banished from this Realm for their heinous crimes, their bloodlust, and their treachery.
TheNarrator: Borne of a curse, violence has followed them everywhere. It was they who instigated the war between the tribes of Man and the Fair Folk. It was they who destroyed the sacred Faery Mounds, and they who sought to destroy the Elven forest of Devon.
TheNarrator: The Elves, aided by Dyana, Goddess-Daughter of Enid, drove the Orcs out of their sacred forest, throwing their forces back to the lands near Caer Fandry, the ancestral home of the Orcan race.
TheNarrator: The Elves, though, had a second ally6 a familiar one to both sides of the war...
TheNarrator: Silverbrook, founded by the Orcs during the war, still bears the motifs of their allies, the Gargoyles6 as do many towns never touched by Orcan hands.
TheNarrator: It was these winged beasts who aided the vile Orcs6 and who helped defeat them... who watch them even now...
TheNarrator: 6 but that is a story for another day.
TheNarrator: With the recent, if devastating, return of the Gargoyles to the Realm, the banishment of the Orcs has ended. Orcs are pouring into the Realm now, and it seems even the Gods cannot- or will not- stem the flow.
TheNarrator: They find a land very different from the one they left three centuries ago...
TheNarrator: Now they settle in the cities of the Realm, and only time will tell if the peace will hold... or if old wounds will reopen....only time....]]> Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:09:47 PDT Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=45 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=42
Today we recieved the ability to use several spells which have not been implimented within the game until this point. Illusionary Foe and Summon Doppleganger have both been implimented today.

Illusionary Foe will create a duplicate of an ememy to fight on your side at half health.

Summon Doppleganger will create a duplicate of yourself to fight on your side at half health.

Both of the "Summoned Creatures" are automated just as any summoned creature; and as such can be healed and EBed in battle...

I see this as a good balance to anyone who has either of these spells as you can ultimately hunt anywhere as all it'd take is summoning 5 dragon's to tank one ;)...

Additionally, we've also recieved a new race to play, you can now create "Orc's"; if you find some good stats, please let me know!]]> Tue, 11 Apr 2006 01:12:29 PDT Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=42 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=40
Take advantage of this opportunity to extend your subscription at the old rates. This first ever subscription change is required if we are to continue the current version of The Realm Online and simultaneously develop The Realm Online 4.0.

The new Beta Server will be "wiped" weekly; all information on the Beta Server will be mirrored from a weekly backup of the main server.

Users can be logged into both the "Beta" and "Main" (or "Test") servers at the same time, so theres no worry about missing something while being in the Beta server.

It seems that there are a few "unimped" features of "Main" which are working now on "Beta", this includes:
Illusionary Foe - This is subject to your level, and the monsters level. If you're trying to summon a clone of something higher than you, it will default to your level. The stats and HP of the monster are reduced in accordance with your SDM. This spell creates a CLONE of an opponent to fight on your side.
Summon Doppelganger - What is said above holds true for this spell as well, this spell creates a clone of YOURSELF to fight on your side.

Additionally you can also play as the new race "Orcs"...]]> Sat, 01 Apr 2006 05:49:09 PST Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=37 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=34
As opposed to all of the "new" versions of these items dropping with the new artwork, there will be "new" versions of the Wrath and BoneCrusher.]]> Sat, 25 Mar 2006 02:30:43 PST Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=34 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=30
BC's now appear to no longer be ice cream cones, they are now Pepper Grinders... The artwork for Enids Needle has been changed, however I don't have one to report it's change ;). Fin cowls are now a "Glowy Red" (Lava boots anyone?)... Additionally, the artwork on Daemon's has been updated.

It would also seem we have Trade Windows back... I hope this doesn't end up like the last couple times...

One portion of the whats new is semi vague, it would appear that affects on items/creatures have also been updated, though I haven't been able to find out which yet...]]> Thu, 16 Mar 2006 02:16:51 PST Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=30 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=27
Please note that Fin Fists will still give you the OPTION to dye, however it will state "You cannot do that" when you attempt to dye...

"Fin Colored" items, one has to wonder how long it'll take before it's reguarded the same as MDF/NB (yes, I'm well aware that Ribbons/Horn dye NB) lol...]]> Mon, 06 Mar 2006 12:31:12 PST Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=27 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=25
Still no word on if this is intentional or not, and no word of if they'll allow us all to keep our new "Fin" items; with any luck this is the new MDF hehe...]]> Sun, 05 Mar 2006 12:28:16 PST Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=25 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=24

You will soon notice that:
1. Your Uruz now appears to be a bananna.
2. Your BoneCrusher now appears to be an Ice Cream Cone...
3. Your Wrath now appears to be a Butter Knife (or a Light Saber, dependant on what view you look at).

One only hopes that if they update EA's that they end up looking like a rubber duckie on a stick...

We also have had some changes to monsters...
1. We now have, birds...
2. We now have imps which are capable of flying... Flying monkeys anyone?

Also, we have some new Gems too; all in all, we have had quite the disturbing update lol...

Thank you to CoZMinko for providing the update information.]]> Fri, 03 Mar 2006 02:28:08 PST Wizzeh http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=23 http://www.realmhq.com/news.php?section=2&story=19
